Hornby Island

Hornby Island radiates a distinctly peaceful, creative energy that visitors consistently attribute to the combination of old-growth forest, crystalline waters, and the island's long history as a place of retreat. The sandstone formations and protected bays create natural spaces of shelter and reflection where the boundary between inner and outer worlds softens. Many describe a sense of time slowing and creative inspiration arising spontaneously in the island's gentle, nurturing field.

Hornby Island is one of the Gulf Islands in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada, situated in the traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation. The island contains shell middens and other archaeological evidence of thousands of years of Indigenous habitation and ceremonial use. In modern times it has become known as an artists' community with a strong environmental and spiritual ethos.
