Ending this day with humility and pickled in gratitude ✨

Thanks to the love and support of some incredibly inspising women and the endless kindness and love from our yoga studio owner Wendy Upfold Beauregard, through 2 yoga practices led at Around the Bend Retreat & Studio + some additional donations, we raised $630 towards tomorrow’s Coldest Night of the Year Walk, in support of the Samaritan Centre!!!!!!!

$630!!!!

My heart feels like it’s going to burst; WOW!

Being a part of such an EPIC community gives me hope for the future that my daughter will grow up in & peace, knowing we are surrounded by SO much kindness, compassion and loving humans!!

Such a HUGE thank-you to all of you who joined, who donated, who encouraged, who liked, shared and took the time to inquire about these offerings!

To Wendy, thank-you for always being open to my wild ideas! This could not have been possible without your open heart and your willingness to share in the magic of your home & your studio with our community. 😘🙏🏻

Thank-you just doesn’t feel like enough!

Kallie and I can’t wait to walk tomorrow in honour of all of you as we do our best to support those in need!

If you’d like to join us, please send over a DM and we’d love to have you!

With gratitude and so much love,
Michele 🙏🏻✨

At Around the bend retreat, we believe every woman deserves the gift of rest, reflection, and connection with nature... even when circumstances make it difficult to afford.
We are humbled and honored to announce the creation of the Circle of Crones Sponsorship Fund!
This fund began with a memorial donation in honor of Ernest Hills, with additional funds received by a number of wonderful women we had the privilege of hosting this season.
This sponsorship will provide the opportunity for a woman in need of a space to breathe deeply, connect with the land and be nourished by the stillness of the lake.

How it works💚
The sponsorship will cover a lakeside cabin retreat for one woman for 2 nights.
Women can apply for themselves or nominate someone they love.
Simply send us a message sharing why this time would be meaningful.

This is the beginning of something we hope to grow... a circle of support seeded with love and memory.
If you would like to contribute or if you know a woman who could benefit, please reach out.
Together we can keep the circle strong!

With love and gratitude,
Around the Bend Retreat

It is such a pleasure to be a part of this incredible group of wellness practitioners! I am honoured to offer some of my child inspired herbal creations!
Hope to see you there!💚💚

We are over the moon to welcome the incredibly wise and wildly wonderful Wendy from Rewilding Herbals to the Child Wellness Festival! 🌿✨

Wendy is a small-batch herbalist who creates child-friendly, all-natural remedies from herbs that are ethically wildcrafted or lovingly grown right on her property. Her creams, salves, tinctures, and potions are made with a deep respect for the Earth and a genuine desire to help families heal, naturally.

What sets Wendy apart isn’t just the quality of her creations—it’s the generational knowledge she carries and the care she pours into every bottle and balm. Her remedies are free from harsh chemicals, and in many cases, more effective than store-bought options, especially for the sensitive skin and systems of little ones.

Wendy’s heart is as nurturing as her products, and we love that she brings a grounded, Earth-connected energy to everything she does. She truly embodies our mission of Happy Hearts, Healthy Minds by helping families reconnect to the natural world for support, balance, and wellness.

✨ BONUS ANNOUNCEMENT!
We’re thrilled to also be collaborating with Wendy at her retreat space, Around the Bend, this September 2025 for a very special Day Retreat for Parents! This intimate gathering (just 8 spots!) will be a beautiful opportunity for mothers to learn more about natural support for kids’ physical and emotional health.

💌 Get your name on the waitlist now to be the first to hear all the details! (link in comments to be on the waitlist)

Let’s give Wendy a warm welcome and make sure to stop by her booth at the festival to experience her plant magic for yourself. 💚🌼 Around the Bend Retreat & Studio
