She glows by firelight. 🔥

Autumn is the season when everything slows down, the air turns crisp, sweaters come out, and a campfire becomes more than warmth… it becomes a place to reconnect, reflect, and remember your light. ✨

This October 1–4, 2026, we’ll gather in circle at Bay Lake Retreat Center in Deerwood, MN, surrounded by water 🌊 peaceful pines 🌲 and the kind of quiet that settles into your heart. ♥️

If your body is craving warmth, if your spirit is asking for space, if you’re ready to gather with women who want the same, this retreat was made for you. 🫂

Dear Friends 😊 I’m happy to share with you a Women’s Autumn Retreat 🍁 experience curated with two other lovely women.

I know there are many of you who would love ❤️ to be guided in some experiences in the 🌲 North woods, and of course the Boundary Waters 🛶🏕️ isn’t the only place this can be done.

The Bay Lake Retreat Center is a unique setting on an island of Bay Lake, Deerwood, MN. There are beds 🛌 with A/C so no sleeping on the ground 🏕️ for this one. 😅 Better than glamping but still a little rustic for fun. The meals will be nourishing, the movement will be intentional, the connection with nature and like-minded women will fill your cup.

We’re still fine-tuning this event but wanted to give our closest peeps a heads up. If this sounds like an experience that would interest you, please follow the link 🔗 in my bio for Three Trees Collective Retreats and submit your email to be among the first to be notified when we go live with all the details mid April 🌷

Journey Inside...Outside™

Guiding Spirit Journeys incorporates facets of our natural world to connect you to your inner nature. Journey to remote wilderness and experience solitude, breathless landscapes and incredible challenges that grow you from the inside out.

Your guide, Melissa has experience with leading groups both young and the young at heart safely through the wilderness. Her love of nature and adventurous spirit make the perfect combination for a wilderness guide.

Choose from multiple Journeys that incorporate elements complimentary to nature such as yoga, journaling, meditation, hiking, healing, ceremony, and coaching to an already extraordinary experience of 5-10 days of wilderness immersion.

Group sizes are small and intimate due to the fragile nature of the wilderness environment. There are options to join one of the Journeys already scheduled and offered or gather your small group and create your own.
