AETHER WELLNESS
VOYageurs national park
October 17-20 2024
What's included:
waterfront lodging
We have a gorgeous lodge with sweeping waterfront vistas, a sauna, dock, multiple bonfires, and ample indoor space with fireplaces and lounging galore.
sauna and lake cold plunge
Our lodge has a sauna mere steps from the lake, and there will be ample opportunity to experience either (or both) the chilly October water and steamy cedar sauna. Each morning we will have an (optional) sunrise cold plunge (with the sauna ready and waiting!), and it will be ready each evening should you want to use your free time to heat up.
Evening yin + restorative
After our evening meal, we will boost digestion and start to wind down from the day with a blend of restorative and yin yoga. Practice will be all levels and as always is customizable to your needs in-the-moment. Weather dependent, we may cozy in around the fire for these, otherwise we will practice in our dedicated onsite yoga studio.
Meals (by a private chef)
Each meal will be curated and prepared for you by our very own private chef with years of experience in the culinary world. There will be three meals each day, and of course, snacks available at any time. We will have beverages available as well.
guided excursions
Each day has something different in store, and everything is optional. From short walks to roaring gorges, boat rides into the depths of the park to relax on the beach, meandering hikes overlooking the border lakes, and wildlife watching in the narrows, the days will be unforgettable.
fireside sound baths
To set the tone for the weekend, we will have a few fireside sound baths blended with a meditation and visualization practice. If we're lucky, they might even be complete with the northern lights above!
morning vinyasa yoga
Our mornings will include an hour of all-levels flow sweetened with meditation, music, and grounding for the day ahead. Practice can always be customized to your needs in the moment. Weather dependent, we may be outside; otherwise, there is a dedicated yoga studio on the grounds.
survival workshop
It just so happens that our private chef is also a skilled woodsman and survivalist. We have time set aside for him to help you hone your own skills, but the topic will be decided once we have a sense of everyone's existing comfort level in the woods. If you have a request, be sure to put it in your application!
wilderness immersion
The entire weekend is designed to allow you to immerse yourself in the serenity of Voyageurs National Park and the surrounding Northwoods at your own pace. You are welcome to attend every single yoga session and outdoor excursion, or to do your own thing. You'll have the comfort of the lodge to retreat to when the time is right.
