Wonderful, guided meditation retreat! Lots of variety in the type of meditations offered, and expert guidance. Beautiful property, very serene and restful. The walking mediation and sound bath were my favorite!

I attended the Day of Renewal Retreat for Helping Professionals, and was so happy to make it my first time at EarthWell. Ari and Emily have something special to offer, and they guided us with care and professionalism in beautiful gentle ways (yoga and meditation along with discussions), along with a delicious lunch. I highly recommend not only the Retreat, but give yourself an extra gift and rent one of the lovely little cabins for the night. They're simple and cozy, adding to the restful and restorative theme of the Retreat.Rooms: Cozy, even though no electricity - propane heat and portable solar lights for reading.Safety: I forgot and left my keys in my vehicle...no worries!Walkability: Well groomed and scenic hiking trails.Food & drinks: Simple and nutritious (vegan) snacks and delicious catered lunch.Noteworthy details: An overall vibe of peace and tranquility.

I attended a Day of Renewal for Helping Professionals, and I had a wonderful experience. As someone who often places the needs of others before my own, I have been susceptible to burnout in the past. This day reminded me that self-care is not just important, but necessary. Ari and Emily are wonderful facilitators who are authentic, sincere, and gentle. The day flowed well between sessions of meditation and yoga, journaling, a sensory walk, a delicious lunch, and discussion. We had a great group! I came away feeling energized and inspired. The massage by Miriam was amazing, and I have already made an appointment to see her again next month! I highly recommend this retreat to anyone feeling a little burned out and looking to fill their internal bucket.

I am absolutely smitten with Earthwell Retreat Center!! I was looking for something close to home that allowed me to retreat into nature and focus on my growth and spirituality. I got all of this and more by attending 4 very different experiences at the center over the last year. I have attended two silent retreats facilitated by Emily and two mother retreats facilitated by Miriam. These women are truly gentle and welcoming in their presence. The warmness I experienced allowed me to be vulnerable and self-accepting in a way that I never thought possible. The opportunity to truly let go and heal in a community of other women is exactly what I have needed. The space to explore my inner world without needing to be anything on the outside is such an important practice. These women have helped me navigate what it means to be ME, a woman, mother, human being, and last but not least, a deeply feeling soul.

I spent four nights at the EarthWell Retreat while I was attending a workshop in Dexter, Michigan. EarthWell, is a slice of heaven, filled with trails, reading nooks, and even a wooden bench swing. Coming from a very stressful job, it was exactly the environment I was seeking. The Spike Cabin is beautifully constructed and has a stunning view of the pond. I stayed by myself and felt very at home and safe.At night you can hear the gentle sounds of the wild life and see the starts or moon shinning down on the water. I sat out with a hot coffee in the morning and truly never wanted to leave. I hope to go back next summer!!

I went to EarthWell for a 1-day retreat. It was absolutely lovely. It was very laid-back, but our hosts were still gracious and accommodating. The grounds were beautiful. Will definitely return.

As the owner of a company, I highly recommend taking your staff to a retreat for wellness and I highly recommend Earthwell. Emily and her staff are spot on in the self-care industry. This is a quaint setting, with loads of nature to fully relax you and bring you to center. Emily helped set up my event and made everything effortless. The price was more than acceptable and the organization of the event itself was impeccable.I would be remiss not to mention Miriam, who ran the day flawlessly. You cannot be around this woman without feeling centered...she's amazing. Sasha's artistic therapies were wonderful...it's incredible what the arts can bring out of you to help you introspect and find balance. Rob's sound bath was relaxing, emotional, moving and healing and the day wouldn't have been complete without him.I have to say, Jake from Kitchen Little pulled off an amazingly healthy and tasty lunch anyone would love to have a taste of. Amazing quiche with farm fresh vegetables and cheeses, a fantastic quinoa salad and a green salad w/sweet fruits and a dressing that was to die for! I can't complain about the wholesome organic dark chocolate, coconut covered dates and turmeric cashew snacks either...Lord knows I had my fair share!Last, but certainly not least, as massage therapists, we were all grateful for the massages! Emily has her hands in the healing pot of every industry and knows how to bring them to the table.From start to finish it was renewing, team building and wonderful in every way. I will definitely be treating my people again next year.

I recently did a weekend personal retreat at Earthwell. It was exactly what I was looking for – a cozy private space for practice in the middle of nature, but also close to a kitchen and shower. The blanket of snow on the ground made it extra quiet and magical. The cabin I stayed in had cheery yellow walls, the bed was comfortable, and I was able to adjust the temperature however I liked. Ariana the caretaker was always accessible if I needed anything. I look forward to returning to Earthwell in the future.

The cabins are lovely and the pond and trails around the retreat center are beautiful. The staff was also a joy to work with (and the reservation system was easy to use.)

I attended a mindfulness workshop in November. Very lovely to be on location in such a peaceful and beautiful natural setting. I felt very nurtured.
