Self Love Weekend in Glen Arbor

February 16, 2024

February 18, 2024

Spend a fun, action packed Valentine's Weekend with myself and other lovely ladies as we take time to LOVE ourselves.

Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self-love means not settling for less than you deserve.

That’s what this weekend is all about.

Whether you’re single or have a partner, the one relationship you will have, for the entirety of your life, is with yourself. It’s important to learn to love yourself – because that’s who you’re spending the rest of your life with!

ABC Good Morning America may have voted it as the “Most Beautiful Place in America”, but I’m inviting you to experience Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in a way that only few people do. In the winter. Yes, this is the darkest and coldest time of year, but it allows the landscape to transform. It is finally permitted to breathe and rest while the summer tourist and residents are gone.

Sleeping Bear Dunes is a year round playground begging to be explored and famous for it’s heart opening energy in nature. When you tap into this energy, you are able to more easily let go of your physical tension and quiet your busy mind.

There is a special stillness in winter as snow blankets the ground and creates a powerful setting that you naturally find peace. The cold winds prickle the skin and the tips of bare branches whistle overhead while the sun hangs low in the sky. The sharp chill in the air is invigorating and clarifies the mind.

So be kind to yourself, and show yourself some care, compassion and love – today and every day. You deserve it. You really, really do.

It's time to take a break, give yourself a small hug and learn to love yourself.

We will enjoy an easy hike to one of my favorite places. Depending on the weather and group we may even go snow shoeing or cross country skiing. This is where having an experienced guide comes in handy. I’m excellent at reading my groups and every trip leads to a different adventure. Don’t worry, you won’t have to make any decisions. This retreat is all about you relaxing and putting it on auto pilot.

Wine Tasting Scavenger Hunt: Off for an adventure in the town of Glen Arbor. I'll turn you lose in small groups on a wild scavenger hunt through the village.

You follow clues to wine tasting rooms and have the opportunity to pop into local shops and partake in a little retail therapy.

Unwine: We’ll meet at our final destination and head back home, where dinner will be waiting for us. We share our stories and laugh at the pictures from our scavenger hunt and pass out prizes. The evening embraces us as we step outside with a cup of warming gourmet hot chocolate and look up. The stars are amazing. You are amazing.

Free time: To journal, star gaze, play games, circle, tarot readings, work with me one on one, take it all in, feel gratitude for the day and the relationships that we are fostering.

DAY3

Breakfast: We enjoy another breakfast together.

Powerful Morning To End The Weekend: Learn how to practice Ho'oponopono an easy and powerful soul healing practice. You will experience the transformative potential of four simple, short phrases.

Meet your leader

For centuries sailors needed a lodestar to guide them through the darkness of night. Now more
than ever people are looking for a brighter way. A different way.

Without a map, it is too easy to get lost, deluded, confused, and discouraged along the way. You need a guide who can give you the right directions, the necessary encouragement, and help you avoid the clutches of the ego. Someone who has already traveled the paths, learned the byroads, and blazed trails that have never been walked before.

I offer guidance for finding your true, authentic path through life. An example of what true personal
transformation and rebirth look like in human form, I am an experienced guide for you.
I am here to humbly use, and share, my inspiring collection of ancient wisdom, personal stories, and the sage advice that I’ve gained through my experience and reflection as an explorer, writer, coach, and motivational speaker.

As a facilitator for those seeking a different truth and greater meaning, I share my deeply personal experience of how I overcame obstacles to accomplish my dreams. I combine Eastern and Western ancient teachings, with a little science, and sprinkles some magic on top to bring you truly unique and original experiences.

This is an invitation to step out from your ordinary life and take the first steps on your own quest for greater understanding and deep transformation.
