Welcome to The Haven...
The Haven is a not-for-profit centre for transformative learning on Gabriola Island, BC. On our 7-acre oceanfront property, we offer world-renowned programming for kids, youth, and adults, and host conferences, workshops, performances, and other events.
What sets us apart from other centres and retreats is an innovative curriculum created by our co-founders, Dr. Bennet Wong and Dr. Jock McKeen. For over 35 years, thousands of participants have chosen Come Alive, Couples Alive, and Living Alive for personal and professional development. By meeting face-to-face, we offer deep healing, transformation, connection, and growth in community.
We hope you’ll join us. Our registrars are available 7 days a week to support your next steps and can be reached toll-free at 1.800.222.9211 x1 or by email at register@haven.ca.
"Doing an intensive five day "Come Alive" program was far more effective and transformative for me than seven years of therapy"
