Unplug and Reset Your Magic on Beautiful Lake Michigan
Embrace the richness of Life, body & soul in Southwest Michigan
September 22-25, 2022
Imagine how great it would feel to spend a weekend or a whole week with soul sisters and brothers, open-heartedly exploring inner and outer landscapes with the curious delight of a child, the creativity of a dancer, and the passion of a lover.
Imagine…
Yummmeee … breathe in the crisp clear fresh autumnal beauty. The sweet aroma of falling leaves and bon fires. The gentle cool sand between your toes. The leaves turning yellow and gold. The geese honking their way home. Autumn on beautiful Lake Michigan!
As the soft rising sun warms the crisp air, shoulders relax and hearts open. A long slow exhale of relief… Ahhhh. Feet soften and wonder bubbles up from deep within your bones. Abundant richness awakens you home from being on the land and in the embraced of Lady of the Lake.
This beautiful turquoise inland sea holds big magic. As the waves rhythmically beat loud and clear; your mind stills, your heart opens as the richness of Life pours in.
Three nights and 4 magical days, surrounded by natural beauty and wonderful new friends. Powerful movement practices, deep conversations, and explorations in nature. No social media, no phones, no email, no zoom. Just real live embodied connection. Four yummy days to reset your capacity to experience and embrace Life’s richness!

- Arrive Thursday in the late afternoon. Gather for the opening circle at 6pm. Discuss the program, get the schedule and make introductions.

“I feel true and solid. As if every cell in my body is saying, ‘Welcome home!’ Instead of fearfully chasing comfort and safety, I’ve touched down into my true ground of well-being. I’m nourishing and reconnecting with all the repressed parts of myself. I am facing what comes up – be it stage fright, anger at my husband or immobilizing fear of anything. With expertise and love, I’m learning to hold and give those fears space to transform. What can be more creative than transforming my inner demons and monsters? At last, I am creatively expressing all the formerly suppressed energy!” –Helene Stangl-Kullinger
