The Homestead – THRIVE – A Women’s Retreat – January 24 – 27, 2013

If you’re like us, your vacations are usually balancing acts in an attempt to accommodate different work schedules, diverse interests, and everyone’s needs.  At The Homestead, we strive to provide something for everyone.  But we also recognize that sometimes what you need is a little time just for you.  Time to relax with a friend you haven’t seen for years, or to make new friends.  Time to allow your body, mind, and spirit to be nurtured.  That’s why we’ve partnered with licensed therapists Mia Moyad and Megan Gunnell to organize a weekend for women like you, for women like us.

Join us Thursday, January 24th through Sunday, January 27th for a women’s weekend of solitude, discovery, and replenishment.  Experience the ambience of live harp music while engaging in group activities.  Delight in cooking classes with healthful intent.  Awaken the body through outdoor recreation.  Luxuriate in rejuvenating spa treatments and unwind with yoga.

You’ll be welcomed to a community of women committed to experiencing THRIVETransform for enrichment; Harmonize with environments; Replenish for joy; Integrate mindfulness; Visualize for growth; Empower for strength.

Package prices begin at $217 per person, per night based on double occupancy or $195 per person, per night based on triple occupancy.  No matter which option you choose, you price includes a stunning suite at Stony Brook Lodge, two dinners, two lunches, three breakfasts, and the many activities scheduled during the retreat.  They do not include: spa treatments, outdoor activities such as skiing, gratuity or tax and tariff on the room.  An advance deposit of $350 per person is required at the time of reservation.  Cancellation prior to 7 days is subject to fee of $50.  Cancellation within 7 days forfeits deposit.

Boyne Mountain – Snowshoe Lacing Workshop – January 25 – 26, 2013

Boyne Outfitters has teamed up with Michigan’s own Iverson Snowshoe & Furniture Company to offer individuals a chance to lace their own pair of traditional wooden snowshoes.  During this two-day workshop, students learn the basics behind traditional snowshoes, as well as the pros and cons compared to their aluminum counterparts.  Unlike some classes that only teach you part of the process, following completion of the class on Saturday, you are able to take your new pair of snowshoes straight to the snow and enjoy the rest of the weekend hiking the north woods!

When:
Friday, January 25, 5-8pm
Saturday, January 26, 9am-1pm

Cost is $200 per student.  Reservation required.  This class is limited to 10 students.  Two-day participation is required.
