We have all been experiencing great transformation alongside a terribly stressful year. No matter who you are we have all struggled and celebrated over the course of 2020. We want to welcome you into a space where you can expand, relax, feel what you feel and use that information to enrich your life. Come let us take care of you so you can take of YOU later. 

Anna and Amber want you to come to this to retreat as you are and feel taken care of while connecting deeply to yourself.  What is it that you need to nurture right now? to deeply nourish? 

Morning yoga classes will lovingly connect you in knowing yourself better. Intentional and vibrational food will nourish you deeply. In the quiet of Nature find clarity. In the community of a small group of like minded people find connection, support and laughter.  Experience your own energy body through breathing, meditation and reiki. This retreat is nourishing in the truest sense of the word. If you are sensing even an ounce of your need to do this that is your answer. You need it. 

Gift yourself a week of real nourishment. Come relax in a serene setting in the middle of one of the most beautiful places in the midwest. The Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland Peninsula and Traverse city are among Michigans most beautiful destinations and full of amazing nature.

Remember what is important to your heart. 

We look forward to this truly special experience together. 

with love, Amber and Anna
