Tina Schuelke, Owner, CEO of Change Management
Communicating with Empathy + Boundaries
Explore how empathy can be the structure to communications and establishing boundaries. It’s true—highly sensitive people are genius in establishing boundaries, although it takes some intention and focus to know, decide, and effectuate what you are walling in and what you are walling out. Tina will share some of her tried and true practices and tools that give communication and boundaries a healthy place in your life. If you are up for a pre-retreat assignment, Tina encourages you to read The Mending Wall, by Robert Frost to inspire you to contemplate what boundaries mean to you. If you want to go deeper, another question to ask yourself is, “What do I think boundaries mean for others?”
Session Time: Friday, April 30th at Noon CST
Zubin Sherring, Director of Clairvoyant Center of Chicago
Calm & Grounding: Deepen Your Relationship with Intuition
Your intuition is your inner navigation and can be grounded. In this workshop learn to ground and experience in a way you may never have. We will discuss, experience, and play with some tools to bring you into present time with your intuition and your intuition with you. You will let go of past time energy and replenish with your own nourishing energy.
Session Time: Friday, April 30 at 2pm CST
Mother Nature
Mother Nature is graciously available to hike in, forage from, dream on, journal in, play on, nap in or to just simply breathe and be with. Putting your bare feet on her surface naturally shifts and balances the electrical state in our body which helps us to self-regulate and heal, reduce inflammation and get better sleep Mother Nature also supports our nervous system to deactivate the fight or flight response and return to a state of calm. Take a foraging worksheet with you and see if you can spot these three wild edible & medicinal plants: Dandelion, Broadleaf Plantain, Wood Violets! There will be 2 hours on both Friday and Saturday afternoon (or pack your dinner and make it 3 hours) to spend in nature at a place of your own choosing. This time can also be used receiving spa or healing services at a discounted rate with one of our practitioners from the services list below.
Session Time: Friday, April 30 from 3:30-5:30pm CST AND Saturday, May 1 from 3-5pm CST

Claudia Gehlhaart, RN, CHTP Owner of Body in Evolution
Awaken your Energy Body (morning), Finding Your Center (midday), Preparing for Rest (night time)
In these energy medicine mini sessions (approx. 45 min ea.) you will experience easy and immediate techniques to impact your energy systems for different purposes. All are excellent self-care methods. As you learn the components of these energy exercises, you can mix and match and get a feel for the effects individually in your own body. It is helpful when learning them, to try them all for a week or two to get familiar with each, and then plug them in as you need and desire. Valuable tools for a lifetime! Especially for sensitive bodies and deep feelers!
Morning: As we get our day going, you can stimulate and set the tone for clear thinking, supporting immune function, boosting metabolism, and getting your energies humming.
Midday: At midday, during a busy life, we can return to our center, get “reset” into clear thinking, and feeling more grounded as we move further into our day. These are helpful for “overwhelm” energies, focusing our attention, calming our mind, and are simple, quick self-care (any time of the day).
Night: As we prepare for rest or sleep, there are a few simple things we can do to calm and smooth our energies. They may also be used for our little ones, to help them settle in and are calming to the nervous system. Both exercises soothe an over-active mind, helping us to settle, and shed the excess stimuli of the day.
Session Times: Saturday, May 1 at 8:15am CST, 2:15pm CST, and 7:15pm CST

The Energy of Food with Megan Normansell
Is this really hunger or do I need boundaries? Learn to tune into the energy of food and the subtle cues of your body so that you can begin to read the communication your body is giving you through cravings. Megan will share her holistic version of the traditional “food pyramid” as well as a unique approach on how to understand and give your body what it truly needs nutritionally. As you counter balance the yin with the yang of food (Yes, that dual nature of energy is present in food, too!) your energy will feel more grounded, vibrant and consistently able to support all you are up to with your life.
Session Time: Saturday, May 1 at 1pm CST
Kimberly Resch, Best Selling Author, International Award Winning Filmmaker, Shaman, President of Conscious Content
The Unfoldment of Our Gifts
Since the beginning of 2020, people’s belief systems have been challenged to the core, old wounds are surfacing as our foundations are cracking. We’re being pushed to our limits and realizing that the world that we knew has completely changed. Now is the time for enlightening self awareness, as we understand it now to be called “the unfoldment”. It’s literally asking the questions to access the answers that provide the deep dive journey required to find the core frequency and clear it with understanding and full release. Healing doesn’t have to be painful, it can simply be a miracle.
Kimberly will provide a mental health toolbox to reconnect with ourselves so we can connect to others. She will be educating about the brain and it’s necessary functioning and why some modalities may work better than others. She will include an exercise or two for your own experience. This is where we can truly heal, find the sun again, and can offer support to those in need once we are filled up. The grateful moments inside living these experiences are where we become capable of giving on a remarkable level; where we know that we are not alone.

Jenn Shull of The Bold Thing, Ontological Coach and Certified Yoga Teacher
Gentle/Restorative Yoga
This is a restorative yoga class with gentle elements added throughout. As in traditional Restorative Yoga, poses are held for several minutes, fully supported by props (bolsters, blankets, blocks), allowing you to find a meditative state to relax the mind and body. Nearly all postures are on the ground, which will allow the body to rest, relax and rejuvenate without any demands on the muscles. Slower paced, less strenuous, GentleYoga movements will be incorporated throughout the practice to revitalize and restore your body, calm the mind, gently increase energy, and reduce stress.
Session Time: Saturday, May 1 at 8pm CST

Joy Jordan, Mindfulness Teacher at Born Joy
Meditation: Connection to ourselves, each other, and the earth
Daily life is busy and complex. We can forget that we belong. We belong not because of our achievements or doings, but because we exist. We are inherently lovable and worthy. Meditation helps us dip below the mind chatter and connect to our bigger awareness. Loving-kindness practice helps us heal ourselves and heal the world. This session is a sacred space where we all remember that we belong.
No meditation experience necessary. Show up as-is!
Session Time: Sunday, May 2 at 10am CST
Maggie Sharar, Artist at Infinite Rebirth
Beginner’s Watercolor: Trust Yourself
In this class we lean into mistakes and create art through organized chaos. Beginner’s Watercolor is a class for the creative muse within to learn the fundamentals of watercolor and design. We will cover some of the rules and elements of design as well as watercolor techniques. But perhaps one of the most potent lessons you will learn is that creativity is born through mistakes and accidents.
