The Space had the chance to escape the hustle of life and slip away to northern Michigan. What better time of the year to do so! The colors, the cool breeze, the way the world shows us just how beautiful it is to change, and ultimately let go. Kelli McMullen led our group of 36 Souls on a journey of the compass. The directions and the elements associated, inviting a new awareness of Self.

This was our first time retreating as a community since the world closed in March 2020. It was a beautiful experience to witness not just personal healing for many, but a collective healing after all we have been through the last 2 years. We had booked the Northport Bay Retreat center in 2019 after hosting our first local retreat there, booked for October 2020. It was incredible to gather together, in a new world, in new bodies, new versions.

2+ hours of daily movement and meditation with Kelli McMullen. Delicious and nutritious food by Brianna Belanger. Our incredible massage therapists, and Reflexologists offered for all. Optional wine tour. Fire ceremony, cold plunge. It was a lot of GOODNESS.

It’s an honor to walk along side and hold space for transformation. The gathering of Women is powerful and after almost 2 years and social distancing, it felt great to be together again. Reborn. On our way.

It’s never too late to start again, to recreate a connection. Are you still in hideout? does connection feel tricky and is it married to a lot of resistance? We have undoubtedly been through the ringer, collectively. Don’t forget — we’ve all been affected. And there is a place and a community of women who can say “I feel it too. I want it too. I am ready to reconnect too.”

You are never alone. If not starting at a retreat, start by plugging in. to classes, to workshops.

Just begin.

We are ready when you are.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT

I N F R A R E D H E A T

Here is why we need it and where you can get it.

Panels are on and the Red Room is ready, we love infrared here at The Space. The Space was born with Infrared heat as a core part of the method. It’s purifying, refining— part of the great release that we work so hard towards.

Infrared heat heats from the inside out.

Infrared saunas can help increase blood circulation and stimulate the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins in the body. Daily sauna sweating can help detoxify the body as it releases heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, and cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid and other organic and inorganic compounds.

Infrared saunas have been shown to affect the autonomic nervous system by putting the user in the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state, allowing the body to heal and restore itself.

The penetrating infrared wavelengths from infrared saunas raises the core body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. A fever is the body’s mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as seen in the case of infection. This enhances the immune system, and combined with the improved elimination of toxins and wastes via intense sweating, it can increase overall health and resistance to disease.

No matter what your needing today — infrared is sure to get you in the right direction. We love how there is something for everyone in infrared heat, and it truly is healing in its release.
