    The privately owned lodge is all ours for the retreat.  8 Bedrooms upstairs, 2 on the middle floor and 2 on the lower level.  All bedrooms are completely furnished, beautifully decorated and full of character.  Some rooms come with two beds if you decide to be roomies (Couples or shared lodging see pricing).   Each level has a large full bath. 
    Imagine having your morning cup of coffee or herbal tea, relaxing on this full length deck.  Or gazing at the stars in the evening and the reflextion of Grandmother moon dancing across the surface of the lake.
    Some of our workshops are held outside on the lawn if the weather is nice.
    A Nature walk around the lake, connecting with the Standing People, as well as a Mini Quest is always an inspiring event on our retreats.
    Many of our workshops and our group meditations are held in this main room. 
    We spend each evening visiting here in front of a cozy fireplace sharing the days growth and enlightenments.

    Also within this area (not shown) is a huge dining area where we do journaling, card readings, daily affirmations and group discussions over meals.
    The Country Kitchen is incredibly inviting.  Fully stocked with all we need for meal preparation.  All the conveniences of home.  And don't forget, your meals are all provided.  You can leave the cooking up to us...
    Need some quiet reflection time?  Desire to do some private drumming, play the flute, private journaling?  Visit the gazebo over looking the lake or the surrounding wooded area and enter the silence or meditate in the peace and serenity of the elements.
   
    Mornings are a wonderful time to enjoy the quiet.  Awaken to the songs of the birds and the mist rolling over the lake.
This view is offered from the front deck of the Lodge. 

     This small grove of trees has offered it's natural circle to us for some great drumming sessions.
    Workshops that have been a wonderful addition to previous retreats are: Medicine Tools (drumming, rattles, pendulums, etheric energy and the cards), Reiki, Massage, Lessons of the Grandfathers (stone people),  Lessons of the Standing People (tree medicine), Herbs and Healing Teas, Healing the body, mind and soul, Are you a good listener, The Ego and more. 
    Every retreat offers a Mini-Quest time, a Healing Meditation, Pipe Ceremony, Drumming, journaling, specially blended salts for baths and daily affirmations.
    You can enjoy one of the workshops or opt to take some quiet time on your own.  You are not obligated to participate in any activity.  It is your retreat.

We have drastically lowered the cost of the retreat to make it affordable.  In order to do this we have changed the format of the retreat.  We think you will still have much to embrace and learn during your stay.

    We look forward to spending time and sharing with you. 

Maps and time frames for arrival and departure are provided after receipt of your registration.
