The Remedy
Reconnect to Self, Others, Nature & the Divine
The Wild Remedy is a weekend retreat bringing together women, or women-identifying individuals, of all generations and backgrounds to foster relationships with ourselves, each other, nature and the divine feminine.
On the enchanting grounds of the North Lakeland Discovery Center located on Statehouse Lake, we will explore the forest and the water, consider ancient wisdoms, and build relationships with other women as we reconnect with what the sacred feminine means for us in an ever-changing world.
This weekend will be rejuvenating in all the best ways, including:
- Nourishing food, locally sourced and lovingly prepared by Wild Whisk
- Activities designed to rekindle your deep knowing, your inner fire
- On-going playful adventures in the wild Northwoods with other women
- Daily yoga and other physical activities to vibe up your body
- Sunrise, sunset and late-night activities for heightening your senses
- Live music
- Rituals that will serve as the container for our weekend, deepen your experience, and give you something to take home with you
- Shared experiences with other women seeking to remember what they have always known, and teach you
- Learn about holistic healing routines to integrate into your habits
All guests have the option to arrive Thursday and enjoy an extra day to play & explore, work with healing practitioners for individual yoga sessions, ecotherapy, & reiki sessions; and attend the Nibbles & Knowledge program on foraging Wild Rice. Extend your stay by adding the "Thursday" ticket option when you register.
