Lake Leelanau Women's Winter Retreat   ***January 21-23rd

Reset and Recharge, Play and laugh....   Located in the heart of wine country on the shores of south Lake Leelanau, this stunning 4 BR, 2.5 bath home features panoramic views from every level.  We will have a chance to relax, play, adventure and work on our own personal growth journey.  This will include fat tire biking, snowshoeing and hiking at an "all levels welcome and no drop" pace.  All activities, equipment rentals and meals are included (with extra touches to make your stay fun and special) but you are free to pick and choose what makes your heart and soul happy.

 Friday

Early availability on Friday any time after 4:30pm.  Upon arrival to our winter wonderland, you will be greeted by Julie and be able to get settled into your room of retreat.  A healthy meal awaits your arrival and so does adventure. We will be heading out to be fitted for our fat tire bikes and biking to a local favorite spot for refreshments and warm up!  This is all levels with path options for beginners to intermediate, side by side.  After playing in the snow, we will return and an evening walk through the woods or out on a frozen lake or bonfire chats are always possible.  We will conclude with time for retreat to rest and reflect.  

  Early start- sunrise intentions, walk and/or stretch. A warm, healthy breakfast is offered at the cottage with morning discussion. Following breakfast there will be an educational session on mindfulness, then an appointment with adventure! 

  We will meet with our tour guide and be fitted for snow shoes!  This tour will take us through the heart of wine country.  The pace is set by you and there are plenty of options for length of trails.  We will be resting and refreshing at the local wineries as needed and lunch provided to us on the adventure as well!

  The late afternoon will include another activity for all to enjoy and opportunities for growth and humility abound! It’s so fun to learn something new and connect in the nature that provides us those lessons. There will be time to get a little break from our activities to explore, shop  (individuals will cover the costs of their own shopping indulgences ;-)for this outing.  We will have dinner, relaxation and meaningful dialogue as we return to our lake house.

 Early start-sunrise intentions, walk and/or stretch. A healthy and hearty breakfast at the cabin will be offered and then packing and gathering belongings to commence following breakfast to make our 11am checkout. Feedback and emails are welcome along with the opportunity for continued accountability and training. 

We will set out for a last adventure as a group prior to the drive home to stretch and engage the legs and have our parting thoughts in nature or on water.  A healthy lunch will be offered to take on your journey home, along with a weekend of unforgettable memories, friendships and incredible personal leaps forward.

Bellaire Home on Intermediate Lake-June 10th-12th 2022

Reset and Recharge, Play and laugh....   Nicely secluded cottage on 48 acres of private land.  This cottage includes a dock with access to Intermediate lake (south end of the lake near the mouth of the river).  This newer cottage is finished with white pine giving the "up north" feel.  It has 3 bedrooms with 4 queen beds and is a mile down the road from a quaint and thriving little downtown.  With so much acreage, we have options for yoga stretches, long walks, gathering and playing right on our property.  This retreat is booked to enjoy paddling a secluded side of the lake with beautiful elevation changes in view and also intermediate river too.   We are also down the road from a beautiful trail for hiking called Glacial Hills.  All activities, equipment rentals and meals are included (with extra touches to make your stay fun and special) but you are free to pick and choose what makes your heart and soul happy.

Early availability on Friday any time after 4:30pm.  Upon arrival to our beautiful riverside home, you will be greeted by Julie and be able to get settled into your room of retreat. We will enjoy a healthy dinner gathering on Friday evening, when our guests have all arrived, with discussion on what to expect for the weekend ahead and some bonding activities for the evening. Evening walk in the woods, sunset paddle, float down or bonfire is always possible.  We will conclude with time for retreat to rest and reflect.

Adventures will include paddleboard instruction, sup floating, sup yoga, hikes and walks through the woods and more.  Activities are optional and created to have all fitness levels enjoy! Come as you are!  The order of activities and fun being served up will depend on mother-nature and what she decides works best ;-) We will discuss the founding principles of activity and how they relate to our personal lives and growth.  After time to reflect from the mid-morning session, a delicious and healthy lunch will be offered. 

The late afternoon will include another activity for all to enjoy and opportunities for growth and humility abound! It’s so fun to learn something new and connect in the nature that provides us those lessons. We will have time to walk as a group into town and get a little break from our activities to explore, shop and enjoy an early dinner outing as a group at a local favorite (individuals will cover the costs of their own meal and shopping indulgences ;-)for this outing but food at the house is available should anyone choose to stay back).

Back at the cottage, we can enjoy bonfire and relaxation and discussion of all that the day has gifted us with!
