We live in a culture of constant busyness, always rushing, always striving, always “on.” From the moment we wake up to the moment we sleep, we’re chasing something. And somewhere along the way, many of us begin to feel empty, wondering… is this really it?

In the midst of it all, we put ourselves last, giving endlessly while running on empty. Stress and overwhelm build, and instead of slowing down, we numb out, doom-scrolling, buying things we don’t need, consuming more and more just to avoid how we truly feel.

But where does that leave us?

The more we stay in the race, the further we drift from what truly fills us. When was the last time you fully unplugged… laid under the stars… danced barefoot… shared in a meaningful conversation… enjoyed a delicious meal that you didn’t have to cook or simply allowed yourself to feel?

Deep down, we sense something is missing.

True joy comes from reconnecting to ourselves, to the Divine and to each other. It’s found in nature, in creativity, in rest, in laughter and in moments that awaken the soul.

If you’re feeling called to step away, slow down, and reconnect alongside a circle of encouraging, positive amazing women, then this retreat is for you.

  connection

Wild Wondrous Women is set on the breathtaking shores of Lake Michigan where you’ll trade in your phone and smart watch for mindfulness, movement, creativity, and stillness, an opportunity to reset, recharge, and return to yourself.  I founded this retreat on the principle of giving you the time and space needed to unplug and re-connect to your mind, body, and soul.

For four days and three nights you will trade in your computer, cell phone, smart watch, emails, doom scrolling and all of that busyness for pure, off the-grid-bliss. This simple act will free up soul-space and open the door for fun, connection, and divine feminine enlightenment to flood in. The greatest favor you can give yourself is to put away your phone and take in the magic of the land, good friends, and exciting new adventures.

The pillars of each day are founded on mindfulness, simplicity, creativity and joy as every detail of this retreat is curated to inspire and uplift your spirit in deep and meaningful ways. Which is why we are offering a safe, sacred space for you filled with nourishing plant-based foods, yoga, creative-workshops, evening circles, and plenty of time for you to sunbathe, walk the beach, or take a magical hike on Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (which was named the number one most beautiful place in America by Good Morning America...pretty cool huh?).

At this retreat, Wild Wondrous Women will be curating restorative yoga classes and life giving conversations on topics that matter most. Through an array of diverse workshops we will be able to explore how creativity allows us to contribute to the expansion of our greatest self. Throughout the retreat we will be focusing on the joy of living, how to more fully love and honor yourselves, and how to set empowering daily intentions in hopes of allowing healing and love to flow more easily. As women, it is important for us to detox, reclaim the divine feminine, and understand the interplay between the divine masculine and the divine feminine so that we can remember our true Wild Wondrous selves.

We are all about good-vibes only. Please note negativity, bullying, judgment, comparison, striving, politics and pride are not invited to this retreat. We encourage giving yourself permission to be kind and compassionate with yourself, and to do the best you can with whatever your working on at the moment. By bringing your authentic self to the retreat you will be better equipped to learn how to tend to your own needs first, to receive nourishing support, stay in tune with your natural rhythm and hear the wisdom of your wild wondrous heart.

If you want to walk barefoot at the retreat then go for it, if you want to tell a funny joke or burst out into spontaneous song and dance then do it, if you need a good cry then let it flow. This weekend is about women coming together in a safe judgment-free environment that feels good. Our hope is that this retreat helps you remember what it is like to feel the divine feminine and a childlike wonder.

Anything is possible when we give ourselves the chance to let go. Come celebrate what it means to be alive and free. And always remember… wherever you are is exactly where you are supposed to be.

Sessions and Workshops

There’s something for everyone at Wild Wondrous Women, whether you’re seeking creativity, connection, adventure, or deep rest.

Spend your days creating, reflecting, and exploring. Try sun printing or candle making, take a peaceful walk along Lake Michigan, enjoy a yoga session, or simply unwind in nature. Swim in the lake, forest bathe, or find quiet moments to pause and reconnect.

As the sun sets, gather for bonfires, stargazing, music, laughter, and meaningful connection, with plenty of space for solitude when you need it.

Sessions

Nurture your body and soul through yoga, forest bathing, and a Full Moon Release. Plus, attend Beyond Fear: Stepping Into Your Power, a powerful session with Jillian Speece designed to help you move through fear, rewrite limiting beliefs, and step into a more confident, self-loving version of yourself.

Workshops (Make + Create)

Explore your creativity through hands-on workshops including candle making, sun printing, and pasta making. In your free time, watercolor sets and sketchbooks will be available, inviting you to wander the grounds, find inspiration, and paint at your own pace.

be + Do

Nourish yourself with 100% plant-based meals, wander the lakeshore, swim in Lake Michigan, sing, dance, and gather around the fire with your new soul sisters. This is your time to slow down, reconnect, and simply be.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The retreat will be held at the Leelanau School in Glen Arbor, Michigan. The lake is a sacred spot where expansive views and nature seem to shift everything as well as transform your life. Reconnect to your Wild roots to embody and create more of the Sacred in your life.

Lodging will be in the Kindel Dorms. Each dorm room has two twin-beds that come with sheets (we recommend that you bring your own pillow, and blanket/sleeping bag as sometimes it gets cold at night) Every room has windows that that open up the crisp northern air as there is no air-conditioning*, please bring a towel and toiletries as there is a shared bathroom between each door room with a shower.

Important Note* All rooms are shared with roommates there are two twin bed’s per room and each room shares one bathroom that connects it to the next door room. So two rooms connect to one bathroom in the center (we do offer single occupancy rooms at an increased rate) Everything during the retreat is included: daily yoga, sessions, (most) workshops (workshops with the * need to be purchased separately) all meals, lodging, art supplies, rituals, quiet time and ceremonies.
