Lake Life State of Mind Retreat Recap: a return to a bit of luxury!
We brought back this lovely retreat and hope to keep the tradition going. Bryana and I were thrilled to host a retreat together at this sweet venue!
Spoiler alert: We loved our time at Sugar Lake Lodge so much, we did in fact reserve a weekend for 2026. We told many of you that we did not (because we didn’t!), but then we inquired and were able to come up with a weekend that would work!

Introducing Vanashree Ayurveda
Vanashree and I connected last fall. She is a warm, welcoming, affirming person with a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I connected with her on the topic of Ayurveda, and some chronic allergy issues I was struggling with.
GREAT NEWS - she’s presenting + offering appointments at our fall retreat!
