About The Space
For this retreat we have chosen a beautiful lakeside property set on dozens of acres of land for absolute privacy. The space is equipped with a sauna (yeah, that’s right a sauna!) two entire houses with tons of spaces to lounge in or take time yourself. There are plenty of scenic spots and views of the lake, and just generally ample space to spread out and relax into this transformative weekend.
For down time there is a game room with a pool table, air hockey and ping pong. There is a gorgeous stone fireplace, picnic tables, dock on the lake, and hiking trails through the woods.
Each guest is welcome to sleep in the ceremony space or flop on any available couch etc. or you can bring a tent and sleep outside.
About The Schedule
We will be having 3 ceremonies in total. Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday morning. Ceremony will end on Sunday somewhere around 2pm-ish and we will have “Family Dinner” around 3. After guests have been declared safe to drive they may leave OR they may choose to stay one more night and leave Monday morning instead. This is no additional cost, we just want to ensure everyone has the time they need to feel comfortable leaving. Or sometimes people just want to hang out a bit longer. its up to you.
The basic schedule will look something like this:
