Dear Friends ๐ Iโm happy to share with you a Womenโs Autumn Retreat ๐ experience curated with two other lovely women.
I know there are many of you who would love โค๏ธ to be guided in some experiences in the ๐ฒ North woods, and of course the Boundary Waters ๐ถ๐๏ธ isnโt the only place this can be done.
The Bay Lake Retreat Center is a unique setting on an island of Bay Lake, Deerwood, MN. There are beds ๐ with A/C so no sleeping on the ground ๐๏ธ for this one. ๐ Better than glamping but still a little rustic for fun. The meals will be nourishing, the movement will be intentional, the connection with nature and like-minded women will fill your cup.
Weโre still fine-tuning this event but wanted to give our closest peeps a heads up. If this sounds like an experience that would interest you, please follow the link ๐ in my bio for Three Trees Collective Retreats and submit your email to be among the first to be notified when we go live with all the details mid April ๐ท

I love Back to Basics in Pine River! Itโs an annual event and we get to see friends new and old. I especially love running into past clients whoโve tripped with me. All the smiles. ๐๐ค๐ซโฅ๏ธ
