As you sit on the deck of the beautiful home you have been staying in for the week you watch the waves of Lake Michigan roll in, your gaze softens and you notice all of the beautiful shades of blue.  The wind blows through your hair and the sunshine rests on your face.  You take a deep breath of fresh air and can smell the sand that you will dip your toes into later.  

You allow your body to sway with the breeze, close your eyes and drop deeply inside.  You have learned some amazing meditation tips this week and feel confident in a few you will implement when you get home.  You can feel how your mind has already expanded and it seems as big as the lake.  You have enjoyed learning more about your inner landscape as well as the beautiful outer landscape of The Leelanau Peninsula.

You reflect on your favorite adventure of the week so far, The Sleeping Bear Dunes.  The challenge, beauty and quiet of the dune hike was the perfect combination and you realize you felt and saw so much more because your meditation practice has made you more aware of your body and surroundings.  You also realize how at ease you felt amidst the challenge.  It must be the meditation practice! 

You feel so ready for the full day of silence where you can  explore and grow in your meditation practice so that you can enliven and enjoy all of your outdoor activities.   

What is possible by the end of this journey?

You will have the confidence to use a variety of meditation techniques to quiet the mind and focus which will enhance your outdoor activities because you will find yourself more fully present.

As you practice you will expand your mind removing self doubt & that pesky inner critic which will make all of your big goals feel more attainable and realistic.  Self doubt and negative self-talk can get in the way of achieving goals that may not feel attainable.   

You'll strengthen your intuition and inner knowing which will tell you when it is time to slow down.  This will decrease the likelihood of injury.  If you should get injured, you will learn how meditation can help you cope with the pain.

This journey will open your eyes to how fun exercise and outdoor adventures really can be!  Meditation improves mood and makes people happier so you will not longer see getting out to move as a chore.        

Say goodbye to seeing exercise as a chore!

It's time....

Imagine walking or running a 5k, half-marathon or marathon with ease and free of doubt.

You will be surprised at how much more you will enjoy exercise and fitness.  You will feel more alive and in tune knowing where you need to relax in your body so that you do not feel stressed and agitated.  

It is simple.  Just sit and be present to all that awaits you in Pure Michigan.  

The magic is inside you already.  All you need to do is listen and feel for that internal knowing.  

It is time to realize how amazing your body really is and all of the amazing adventures and fun you can have!  These experiences are right at your fingertips!

We will have the Pure Michigan playground right in our backyard for the week where we will see and experience just how impactful the meditation practice is on each excursion. 
 

Why The Leelanau Peninsula?

The Leelanau Peninsula is not only quietly beautiful, but it is also full of outdoor adventures.  Each day you will have the opportunity to explore a new area and activity.  You can enjoy hiking, running, biking, paddleboarding, kayaking and swimming.

The natural landscape of the cherished lands of The Leelanau Peninsula has been preserved by the Leelanau Conservancy.  Some of the best views, most sensitive wetlands, and biggest working farms have been forever protected because of the Leelanau Conservancy.  The Conservancy is making a very real difference in what Leelanau County is to become. 

It is the perfect place to restore our inner landscape to it's natural state of ease, happiness, confidence and expansion through meditation.  We will clear away the chatter in the mind that is getting in the way of preserving and protecting our precious health and bodies.  

When you return home you will feel as pure and natural as Pure Michigan.  You will be ready to dive into an enjoyable fitness life!

Step into a joyful and fun fitness life!  

Each morning we will enjoy a yoga practice and new meditation technique in our beautiful home for the week or out on the deck.  Then, it will be time for a delicious breakfast and an adventure outing!

Each day we will enjoy an adventure in the beautiful area of the Leelanau Peninsula whether it is hiking at a local park, a full day excursion to Sleeping Bear Dunes, kayaking, Paddleboarding to Power Island, a sunset sailing cruise or just an easy stroll on the beach right in front of our home. You may even choose to skip an adventure outing and decide to relax in the house simply enjoying the view, reading a book or enjoying a conversation with one of your new awesome soul sisters.  

In the evening we will enjoy a homemade dinner prepared by Chef Heather or head out to a one of the many amazing restaurants in the area. Wherever we are you can be sure you will enjoy the local fare.  The Leelanau Peninsula is a big farming community and farm stands sit on every street corner.   

Then, you can retire to your comfortable and welcoming room or enjoy a bonfire with a glass of wine or cup of tea before the next adventurous day begins!
