The Birth of Transformative Travel

Recognizing the growing demand for spiritual travel that transcends luxury or sightseeing, Allison and Deb combined their expertise and passions to create The Divine Destination Collection. Their vision? To redefine travel as a transformative experience—where luxury, adventure and spirituality meet.

“The Divine Destination Collection allows me to do what I love—travel in comfort and luxury while experiencing the spiritual aspects of each destination and having a ton of fun!” says Deb. “It’s about offering unique spiritual journeys that are aligned with who we are—spirituality is in my DNA!”

From cultural immersion trips to secluded luxury wellness retreats, Deb and Allison have created a platform where every luxury getaway becomes an opportunity for self-discovery. Their hands-on approach—personally curating, planning, and even hosting every luxury travel experience — ensures a level of warmth, fun and exacting attention to detail that is integral to the “Divine” experience.

The Women Behind the Vision

Deb is more than just a leader—she’s a trailblazer. After years in the travel industry, she is the lynchpin in Wynford’s incredible 35 year growth and success (voted Best Workplaces in Canada over multiple years). Her entrepreneurial spirit also led her to establish In The Spirit Yoga Studio and Wine Lounge, a space embodying the mantra, “where wellness meets wicked in joyful harmony.”

Allison’s background in travel logistics, creativity, and cultural immersion gives her the unique ability to design seamless, transformative luxury travel experiences. She has worked for a number of Canada’s largest Meetings & Incentive Travel companies and spent time living in Japan, the Caribbean and central Mexico, where she honed her expertise managing every detail of flawless trips.

“I’ve come to realize that luxury and spirituality can coexist, and this is what I want to share with the world. Travel truly transforms the traveler!” she says.

More Than Travel

At the heart of every spiritual journey is the personal touch that Allison & Deb bring. They’re not just planners or facilitators—they’re hosts, companions, and champions of meaningful connections. Whether trekking along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, exploring Peruvian villages, or soaking in the unique beauty of the Galápagos, they ensure every traveler feels cared for, inspired, and transformed.

As Deb puts it, “Travel is a chance to realign with nature, reflect inwardly, and find meaning beyond the ordinary.”

Looking Ahead

With destinations like the Galápagos on the horizon for 2025, Deb and Allison are continuing their mission to inspire travelers to seek not just adventure, but self-discovery.

A Glimpse into Our Past Retreats

If you’ve ever joined us for one of our past retreats, such as the Montebello Divine Revive Retreat or Camp Divine at Whispering Springs, you know the unique magic we create.

Montebello Divine Revive Retreat
This retreat was not just a gathering; it was a warm embrace during a time of uncertainty. The stunning Fairmont Le Château Montebello became our sanctuary, where the elegant lobby welcomed us with comfort. We enjoyed forest bathing, delightful picnic lunches, chocolate tastings, and pop-up hot toddies to warm our spirits after adventurous evenings. The camaraderie blossomed into meaningful connections, making it an unforgettable experience.

Camp Divine
At Whispering Springs, we transformed the luxurious property of glamping tents into an enchanting world of laughter, and connection. The breathtaking outdoor chapel was the perfect backdrop for pop-up meditations, reading sessions, and celebratory champagne toasts. The incredible Allie Chisholm-Smith led healing yoga classes that blended heart and humor, allowing us to explore our minds and bodies with curiosity and compassion. This retreat was a perfect fusion of balance, contentment, and fun, set against nature’s breathtaking backdrop.
