Honoring a life

By the water, between sky and earth.

Here, life is lived together. And sometimes, we gather to honor a life that mattered. Up to 85 people can come together in this peaceful natural space.

Kayaking on Richelieu River in morning mist - French immersion at Domaine Pourki Quebec

Like language, memory is shared.

This place exists to welcome life in its full moments — learning, laughing, reuniting as family. It also exists to welcome life when it says goodbye, in the gentle embrace of a place that recalls the cottages of our childhood.

Nature isn't afraid of silence. It knows how to carry voices, hands that touch, fire that crackles, water that flows. It knows how to receive what can't always be spoken. Like those evenings at the cabin where we'd talk about those we loved.

A tribute by the river is simple. It's real. It's together. Like family should always be.

Why celebrate in nature

Presence

No walls. No background noise. Just the air, the light, the people we love.

Simplicity

No rigid protocol. A gentle ritual, in your image, in the image of the person honored.

Connection

Nature reminds us we're part of something larger. Together, we feel less alone.

Peace

The sound of water. Wind in the trees. Peace isn't forced, it's found.

How it unfolds

Each ceremony is unique. Here's what we can experience together.

1

Welcome

We arrive gently. We greet each other. We breathe. No rush.

2

Gathering

By the water, under the trees, or near the fire. We choose together.

3

Sharing

We speak. We listen. We share stories, silences, smiles.

4

Ritual

A symbolic gesture: releasing flowers on the water, lighting a candle, planting a tree.

Closing

We stay together, if we want. A meal, a coffee, time. At your pace.
