Lighthouse Center
Whitmore Lake, Michigan
April 12, 2025
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
You have yet to achieve your fullest potential. So ready to finally break free from self-limiting patterns, you're just not sure how to do it. You keep finding self-help promises and programs that seem unrealistic or expect you to change everything overnight. You want to be healthy, but you also want to enjoy life! You're not perfect, and you don't want to be surrounded by people who think they are.
You are spiritual, open to out-of-the-box approaches to harnessing universal energy, believe your body is self-healing, and accept all others openly and without judgement. You are looking for a fostering community, and
don't mind digging deep and doing the necessary work to heal on all levels.
If this is you (or mostly you or the future version of yourself you want to be), then you are ready for a Collective Wellness Retreat.
As the day ends you feel connected to Mother Earth. You now emulate a new level of understanding about what it means to be healthy. As you breathe in the fresh brisk April air, you feel stronger, whole, balanced, and invigorated. Although you can't quite place your finger on it, something within you is different...renewed.
The winter sun and the earth beneath remind you that even in the quietest moments, there’s a pulse of life—a grounding energy urging you to stay connected, steady, and aligned with the rhythm of nature.
There was something transformative about knowing you weren’t alone in your struggles. Rather than highlighting flaws, the truth often ignored, was revealed. You found the strength to confront your actions, to take responsibility not with shame, but with clarity. Inspired to be gentler with yourself, you have finally stepped off a spinning wheel and onto solid ground. Deep within, you feel the first sparks of readiness to act—not out of desperation, but out of empowerment. With the support of your new community, you embrace that forward motion is possible. You now have the tools to shape your future!
The day will be filled with opportunities to relax, learn, and share. You’ll acquire simple skills to become a better version of you. Passionate leaders, thought-provoking group activities, delicious and nutritious food, and an immersion into healing sounds will leave you profoundly peaceful and ignited to make 2025 your best year yet!
Chosen for the retreat's location, the Lighthouse Center in Whitmore Lake, Michigan, is an oasis of well-being and healing. Its harmonious energy is peaceful and loving. For over forty years, this beautiful meditation center has been a beacon of light welcoming those looking to grow and flourish.
