Return to
the Sacred
Coming Home to Self through Sacred
Sound Journeys, Sacred Land, Yoga & Rest
Our intention is clear: A retreat in nature to bring you home to your Self through a Return to The Sacred.
At the turn of the season we will gather on hallowed land on the shores of Lake Superior. Over four days and three nights at Wild Rice Retreat Center in Bayfield, WI, we’ll share nourishing meals and stories, sacred sound journeys, hikes in the woods, adventures to the Apostle Islands, optional cold plunges, sauna, yoga nidra & kriya yoga, time to journal and restore and so much more! You are invited to find your sacred; do as little or as much as you’d like.

Transformation Invitation
Join Adrienne & Luke for a Soul’s Remembrance Weekend where you’ll explore a balance of activity & rest, yoga & meditation, sound & silence, community & time alone to cultivate your story and get clear on your what’s next. That next right step is how you continue to make your life your greatest work of art!
Sacred Land. Sacred Waters.
Sometimes we need to be reminded, we need to go somewhere where everything is treated as a sacred act. Wild Rice is that place! The land is sacred, the food is a ceremony, the practices come from the ancient, the sound vibrations of nature and sacred instruments reignite our spark…we are surrounded by those who hold up a mirror that helps you remember the truth of yourself. This is a coming home, a recognition that we are on a journey, and that according to yoga we are already whole and healed, exactly as we are. We only need to remember.

We gather right on the cusp of transition… the fire of summer simmering down into the smoldering embers, slowing as we enter the cooler fall season. The moment is already sacred, the autumnal equinox. This will be a celebration of you at this special time of the year.
-
We will open our retreat by telling you a “story” with one of our signature offerings (Sound & Stories), where we partner Yoga Nidra guided meditation with Sacred Sound to start our journey together.
Sound will be an important thread throughout the weekend and we will also use storytelling as one of our methodologies to help you see yourself, your life, and how far you have come!
Remembering where you came from is integral to connecting to where you are going. T
elling your story gives you understanding and a voice, as well as helps us to create a purposeful and meaningful life.
-
Our opening evening will include a delicious homemade community meal where we’ll have the opportunity to get to know each other, have conversations, and those conversations can continue around an outdoor fire where we will share introductions and a heart opening ceremony with cacao.
The peaceful quiet and stillness of Wild Rice invites deep rest as you cosy into your cabin each night.
-
Our three mornings together will start with a yoga practice to recharge your life force energy through movement, breathwork and meditation.
The intention of class is to help you remember… you are the Divine unfolding in real time here on earth! Each class will end with a gong bath savasana for deep relaxation.
-
Sound and sound journeys will be one of our most important threads throughout the weekend.
It’s easy to remember our dreams and our divinity while bathing in the vibrations of a multitude of gongs, crystal bowls, drums, chimes, mantra, and even didgeridoo!
This Sacred Sound will be the backdrop to our weekend for you to rest, relax, and vibrate joy.
-
Participants will be offered the opportunity to be seen through intentional photography at one of our sacred sites that we will visit.
Your participation is completely optional, but you may like to bring a special item to wear if you would like to participate.
Luke’s photography teacher, Robert Sturman, calls this “The Yoga of Seeing”. We hope you will enjoy this image as a souvenir of our weekend together!

Most of our participants come solo. This retreat is designed to support your individual journey, and you'll be held in a safe, intimate community of fellow seekers. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you'll have the space to go as deep as you need.
If you choose a shared room and are coming solo, we'll thoughtfully match you with another participant.
-
Absolutely. No prior experience is needed. Our practices are accessible to all levels, and we create space for you to participate as much or as little as feels right. This isn't about performance or "doing it right"—it's about coming home to yourself.
-
Comfortable clothing for yoga and rest, layers for varying temperatures, toiletries, a water bottle, journal (if you like to write), and any personal items that support your comfort. We'll send a detailed packing list upon registration.
Yoga mats and props are provided, but you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Each day includes morning yoga or movement, sacred sound journeys, nourishing meals, and plenty of unstructured time. You're invited to participate in sauna, cold plunge, nature walks, or simply rest.
This retreat honors the "do as much or as little as you need" philosophy—there's no pressure to attend everything. We'll share a detailed schedule closer to the retreat date.
