Step into an afternoon of energizing, nourishing calm. This four-hour mini retreat is the perfect reset — long enough to truly escape, yet short enough to still have time left in your day.
We begin with a peaceful forest snowshoe, deep in the woods on single track trails. We have extra snowshoes if you need them! From there, you’ll enjoy an late lunch, homemade to fuel your rest of day. This is followed by Vicki Tree’s signature Hot Stone Relaxation class — a deeply soothing 90 min experience that melts away tension with stones, scents, magical extras and lots of pampering (Vicki Tree style of course!).
Give yourself four hours. Walk away feeling like a new person. Come solo. Bring a friend. Either works.
We keep it small on purpose - 8 people max.

A 3-hour embodied workshop to reignite your vitality from the inside out.
Burnout dims our spark quietly… until one day we realize we’re running on fumes. Awaken Your Flame is a deeply experiential session designed to guide you from exhaustion and overwhelm back into your body, your breath, and your truth. Michelle created this workshop from her own journey through burnout, recovery, and the long, tender work of finding her flame again.
Through grounding practices, intuitive movement, restorative breathwork, journaling, and guided self-reflection, you’ll reconnect with the part of you that never burned out - your flame, your clarity, your inner resilience.
Explore somatic tools that support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and the slow, steady reclaiming of your energy. This is not performance. It’s not “push harder.” It’s an invitation to soften, listen inward, and return to yourself in a way that feels honest and sustainable.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, steadier, and more you, with a renewed sense of possibility and momentum for whatever comes next.
This workshop is for anyone who has been giving, holding, hustling… and is ready to reclaim their spark.
Date: Sunday, March 1st from 10am - 1pm
