Weekend Retreat Promotes Mind, Body, Spirit Connection

Uplift Adventure Retreats presents a unique Women’s Weekend Retreat from June 27 to 29. 2025, at a lakeside home on Rennie Lake in Traverse City. This immersive experience offers women a chance to reconnect with themselves and others through a blend of activity, rest and reflection.

Guests arrive Friday afternoon to a welcoming home with nourishing food and lakeside activities. Evening events include a healthy group dinner, bonding conversations and optional hikes, paddles or a lakeside bonfire. Saturday features an early start with sunrise intentions, guided breathwork and meditation. The day unfolds with paddleboard instruction, SUP yoga, nature hikes and beachside sessions—designed to accommodate all fitness levels. Participants also enjoy free time to explore downtown Traverse City and dine at a local favorite.

Sunday begins with morning rituals and a shared breakfast, followed by packing and a final group activity in nature. Each participant departs with a healthy lunch for the road, new friendships and a renewed sense of self.

Led by Julie Miller, MA, LPC, a licensed counselor and lifelong athlete, the retreat emphasizes mind-body wellness, empowerment and the healing power of nature. With decades of experience in education, fitness and counseling, Miller curates transformative experiences rooted in connection and adventure.

All lodging, meals, activities and equipment rentals are included. Registration requires full payment at booking. To inquire about payment options or avoid processing fees, contact Julie at [email protected].
