Sisters Breaking Free: Into The Wild Retreat


  • Izaak Walton League 5641 Myers Lake Ave Belmont, MI 49306 United States (map)

Join Amanda Fisher of Honor Wellness and Mel DeBoer of Rooted in the Wild for a wild weekend of connecting with self, a supportive community of women, and the wild world of nature. Together we will explore the depths of becoming lost enough to find our way back to love community, connection, and purpose with an experience of fasting, ceremony, contemplative practices, and council.

During this 3-night retreat, you will have the opportunity to explore your comfort zone and your edges. Together we will dive deep into nature with the rare opportunity to unplug. With your guides, Amanda and Mel, and your fellow sisters for the weekend, you will have the invitation to choose what your experience will be and how you will connect with yourself, the community, and nature. Our ceremony and contemplative practices will encourage you to explore silence, nature, and yourself in ways that are not often found in today’s society.

This retreat will also offer an optional 24-hour fasting practice. This practice provides your body an opportunity to become fully emptied to allow you to feel the sacredness of the space and community around you. In many cultures throughout the world - past and present - solo fasting is considered a rite of passage or initiation into the discovery of the soul. Amanda and Mel will offer practices to explore out on the land during solo time in order to deepen your work. Upon return to the community of fellow fasters and participants, we will hold council to share our experiences and offer the gifted wisdom out to the collective of the group. 

This time together includes: camping sites on 40 acres of private conservation land, meals (2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners), various exercises and practices on the land, group breathwork, solo contemplative time, council, and connection. The cost of this 3-day retreat with 2 guides, meals, and practices is $315 per person.

Meet with Mel or Amanda to determine if this retreat is right for you.

Please note this is a women’s only retreat space. No refunds will be issued after June 16, 2024. Tickets may be transferred to another individual after June 16, 2024. It is important to consider the needs of your particular body when considering a fasting practice. If you have a history of blood sugar instability, diabetes, or any other metabolic condition, please connect with your physician before applying. Mel and Amanda can offer optional deepening practices without fasting if needed.

This work is DEEP and nurturing to the soul when we dive into the practices nature offers. We would love to have a conversation with you about the work and possibilities of this retreat.

Have a conversation with Mel or Amanda to discover if this retreat is right for you.
