Once again I was renewed and rejuvenated after my stay. It was simply awesome from the spa treatments to ALL the staff who are just so gracious and sincere. They make you feel so welcome in every aspect. I met many more wonderful friends and we plan to keep in touch. On my last day I said to a few people "it's always sad on check out day" to which one of the other guests added, "but there's always another check in day in the future." How appropriate. This has become my new favourite quote and really epitomizes the Grail because everyone always comes back....again and again. Thanks to this magical place that is The Grail. ~ Connie Cole, September 2022
Thank you very much for all of the love and healing energy that you put into and nourish at Grail Springs and beyond!

I’ve been coming to Grail Springs over 10 years and throughout its evolution there has always been one constant, the overwhelming sense of peace and goodwill that happens during my experiences when I’m there. I take these experiences like our walks in the woods, the time out on the lake, the yoga, the labyrinth, the meditation and of course the people with me as treasured memories. When I’m home I use the mantra of gratitude, humility, grace and reverence as part of my daily meditation practice. Thank you for being a beautiful source of renewal. ~ Tracy G, July 2019
Grail Springs has exceeded my expectations. I'm touched beyond words. My cup is overflowing with divine gratitude to you all for the most most incredible, awe-inspiring experience of my life.

You have surrounded me with nature's stunning beauty and I am forever grateful. ~ Lisa K, July 2019
A pebble dropped into a pond creates a ripple far beyond. There really is no way of knowing the mystery of how gifts keep growing. When we open up our hand, and one who's down is helped to stand, in turn that one will touch another. Hope can grow and hearts will lift, such is the power of a gift. Your kind thoughts and support are sincerely appreciated. ~ Members of Maynooth & Area Food Bank, May 2019
This space is created in love and I have had the greatest gifts during the time spent here over the years. I came here to heal, focus on me, and with new tools find some answers about who I am. Many answers came, enough to move me forward. The grace and generosity you have all shown is appreciated more than words can express. I felt as though I was a most most welcomed guest in your home. Thank you. ~ Lisa, May 2019
I leave resplendent in grace. Thanks to you and all! ~ Patricia, April 2019

Grail Springs is a beautiful and wonderous orchestra of healing energy. At it’s core is the visionary Madeleine Marentette who conducts this great orchestra of incredible people, food and natural setting with a spiritual fire that ignites the soul as soon as you enter. My week at Grail Springs was like nothing I have ever experienced. I leave renewed, transformed and excited for the next stage of my journey. Until we meet again.... With great love respect and much gratitude. ~ Sue K, January 2019
I am a mom, a wife, a driven software professional, a committed friend, and attentive daughter - but I needed this. The replenishment I got from chosen silence, nourishment, and therapy sessions was what my brain and body was begging for. Thank you to the entire staff for providing this sanctuary for the broken-hearted. I am ready to face every challenge again. ~ Anonymous, December 2018
The Grail is a magical place and has such meaning and power. I have lost count of how many times I have stayed and each ones helps me progress on my path. With warmest thanks to Madeleine and your team for sharing this piece of paradise! ~ Sharon H, December 2018
I would like to thank you all for our wonderful stay. When we arrived last Sunday, my daughter was in a critical state. She was in pain and extremely discouraged, thinking no one could help her. Right away, she felt a little better, sensing a climate of security and acceptance, and feeling that no one was there to judge her. Thanks to your amazing team of therapists, she did receive excellent treatments that seem to keep growing on her. More so, she regained hope, an essential component of her recovery! Again, gratefulness and kind thoughts to everyone. Your work does make a difference! ~ DT, August 2018
Grail Springs is a long time love of mine, I discovered it a few years ago when I attended the Grail Lady Faire. After a few years’ hiatus, Madeleine brought back the event this summer. To say that it was transformational in nature is an understatement. From the incredible speakers to the divine therapies, it was truly an incredible time. Grail Springs is the only place in Canada that nourishes the mind, body and soul and offers support that inspires. I feel truly blessed to have this very special place and the l3apwonderful people who work here in my life. I simply love Grail, and all that it does for the world! ~ SM, July 2018
Madeleine, the owner, her staff and what they do are beyond what I expected. The kindness, expertise, healing sessions, workshops, food, just being on the land is extraordinary. I left feeling so clear, inspired, balanced and extremely relaxed like I haven't been in a VERY long time; when I left, I had the energy of a child. I CANNOT wait to return. I highly recommend visiting Grail Springs; the programs are set up to help you re-center, refresh, and renew your mind and body...to feel at Peace. Thank you to Madeleine and your AMAZING staff for a life changing experience. I am SO GRATEFUL to have had this experience of this special place...I'll be back. ~ Warmly, Paula S, July 2018
This Grail experience was the most magical week of my life. It was everything and more. The staff are light workers, therapists who heal our inner souls with their touches.

I will tell everyone who needs this place! ~ Lori R, June 2018

I would certainly recommend Grail Springs but 2-days are simply not enough. I think 5-day to a week would have been best! ~ Irene M, June 2018
I stumbled upon Grail Springs by web search. I came here seeking my true self. I lost myself with work, kids and marriage. I was drained. Grail Springs helped open my mind and realize the benefits of take time out for me! ~ Michelle L, June 2018

Thank you Grail for helping me remember who I am and why I matter. Even though I know a lot of life lessons, I had lost touch with my inner Goddess and got caught up in the hustle and bustle of city life.

I wanted to send this email to say what an amazing experience my weekend stay at Grail Springs Retreat was. I was quite nervous, however I felt the calmness and serenity of Grail Springs the minute I drove through the entranceway of the retreat. In anticipation of my visit, I read in great detail the Grail Spring website and I can say that it is everything the website claims and much much more. The accommodations are luxurious but not pretentious, the social atmosphere is inclusive but not intrusive, the days are full but not rushed, and each meal is a exquisite dining experience. Thank you Madeliene Marentette and all the staff at Grail Springs for making Grail Springs such a magical place. It is the real deal, a 5-star health resort in beautiful Ontario where one can truly revitalize one's body, rejuvenate one's mind and rediscover one's spirit. Namaste! ~ Judy L, June 2016

The truth is it was all of the above. Grail Springs is a magical place. It transforms you into a positive being. I highly recommend this wellness retreat.

I had a lovely time at the Grail Wellness Center. The grounds are peaceful and beautiful, my room overlooking Chalice Lake charming.
