Your Soulful Transformation
Â
Soulful Summer Camp is a 2-day retreat where we're blending a women's healing retreat with the essence of a summer camp experience to awaken the child within!Â
This magical fusion creates a space where transformation happens while experiencing pure joy and healing comes wrapped in laughter.
Back by popular demand, we're thrilled to return to our sanctuary at Stillwater Stables for in Ortonville, MI - 60 acres of pure magic where we are immersed in the most picturesque landscapes where horses roam and the healing energy is palpable. Â
Soulful Summer Camp Retreat is a space where you get to embrace your inner child and expand your relationship to women in sisterhood. No more dimming your light or trying to fit into any boxes that society has created.
For many of us, we become so consumed with life's demands and our adult responsibilities that we don't realize we have abandoned this innate need for play. We've traded our spontaneity for schedules, our curiosity for certainty, and our playfulness for productivity.
But here's the truth: that child we once were still lives within us... and offering a space to connect with that little girl can transform you. She holds the keys to your joy, your creativity, and your most authentic self. It's time to let her out to play!
Join us for our SECOND ANNUAL Soulful Summer Camp Women’s Retreat
July 11-12, 2025!
