An Opportunity to Retreat & Renew
How would you like to spend five days disconnected from everyday life so you can take the time to go deep within yourself to heal, grow and evolve into the happy, joyful expression of light you're meant to be?
Maybe you are a nurse or another highly component professional on the edge of burnout, at your wit’s end. You need a break, a chance to reset and renew
There is no better place in Michigan or nearby to do that than one of David’s retreats in the Upper Peninsula. You will be isolated from the rest of the world on a quiet peninsula with all the amenities you need. We will get to spend hours everyday meditating and learning other tools for creating peace, confidence and clarity. Meals made with love are provided and much more.
Are you in the middle part of your life and asking yourself what you need to do?
You need something different, a goal, a purpose - you are just not sure what you are supposed to do, or you know exactly what you need to do, you are just too scared. All your life you have given to others, lived for others and now you are ready to do some seeking for yourself. The retreat will provide a clear vision of your two year future self; you will begin to build a mastermind relationship with this version of yourself to keep you on track. Your future self will always be there to help you overcome fears. Because they have already faced them and conquered them.
Are you a business owner, entrepreneur or you want to leave your career to be a business owner or entrepreneur?
The best part of the retreat is that it includes The Five Pillars of Spiritual Success - a five week course that will help you create certainty for the direction of your life, what your next goals are and the path to accomplish them and much more. You will have a formula for success that you can repeat every year and every day. You will have a framework for success and references to ensure you stay on track.
Maybe you are just looking for the time and space to get still and silent, to dive deeper into meditation, going within to find the answers you seek.
Come one, come all, so long as you are earnest in your desire to evolve and grow towards enlightenment.
What can you expect at the retreat?
Sitting still and silently is the core practice of the retreat.
You will be guided into“meditation;” you will receive a blessing and a third eye touch which will help you lock into your own nature which you will know by the experience of peace.
Meditation or better said, sitting, especially for longer periods of time is typically much easier for people at retreats than when they are on their own.
The most challenging, difficult and rewarding work you will do in your life is sitting still & silently with yourself. It sometimes takes people a couple of days for the mind to settle down.
You will no doubt have great meditations and the sound healing always makes meditation easier and the sound bath when you lay down is almost always peaceful and fantastic.
The point is not to have an expectation of unicorns and rainbows; you never know what will come up at a retreat.
With that being said, there is typically a lot of laughter, joy and fun times and even some goofiness. There is plenty of free time to think, make new friends and learn from one another.
We eat twice a day and there is some breakfast fare like at a hotel: coffee, tea, oatmeal etc. Best just to eat the two meals a day; there is a store down the street and a coffee shop inside the retreat center if you do need something else.
The Retreat will include Sound Healing and Cello Performance
-
Tammie Raine Hayes ~ co facilitator vibrational healer, and retreat leader.
-
Cellist extraordinaire Jeannette Bradshaw
-
Yoga Teacher Jasmine Marie Villanueva
You will be taken out into the depths of the universe, enjoy a classical concert with a modern flare and leave with a short yoga routine for your daily use.

So you've decided you would like to come to the retreat ...whats next?
Yes I am interested in learning more about the Meditation & Healing Retreat and would like to have a short conversation with David about the retreat to make sure it is right for me
I too would like to have a short conversation with you as a chance for us to learn more about one another and the retreat. Fill out the info below and I will look forward to connecting.
Cultivating the right group for a retreat is an art in itself; I know there are other retreats out there you can just pay and sign up for. The Meditation & Healing Retreat is more of an invitation event.
I have to get to know you a bit and vice versa; the more trust and rapport going into the retreat, the better for everyone. That is one of the purposes of including The Five Pillars of Spiritual Success as a one on one coaching program included with the retreat. The Retreat is all you, and the attitude you bring - the pillars are to prepare you for the retreat.
upper peninsula & Garden Michigan
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a unique and beautiful place and the Garden Peninsula is a special place in the Upper Peninsula.
You would never just drive through or end up there unless you intended to.
Garden MI, is on the Garden Peninsula on Lake Michigan. There are less than 1,000 people on the Garden Peninsula, one restaurant, a state park, and the retreat center.
The state park is a Ghost Town from 1870, which is a short drive from the retreat center. It’s super cool. There is also a natural spring called “The Big Spring” that is a 25 minute drive from the retreat center.
Garden Grove Retreat Center and Lodging was a Catholic retreat center for 70 years. It was donated to the city and is now open to all.
The retreat center is not fancy; it is comfortable and has something money can’t buy: the spiritual energy of 70 years of worship and retreats.

The Five Pillars of Spiritual Success
The five pillars of success have been tested and improved upon over the last 25 plus years.
Self Realization is at the top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. If we want to master ourselves, we have to master the world around us and create a way of life that is conducive to peace, joy and freedom.
This begins with getting super clear and certain about the direction you want to lead your life. You do not need all the details or any sense of how you are going to do it. You do need to know the direction you are heading with crystal clarity and certainty.
We will also have to create a new path for you to walk because the path you have been walking has gotten you right to where you are now. If you want to go somewhere else, you are going to have to take a new path, form new habits, and get uncomfortable.
On the spiritual level, we want to lose the concept of self image in the game of mastering the world - you will never outperform your self image. Which means if you are looking to level up your life in some way, you are going to have to level up your self image first.
I believe one of the most important things to have an abundance of is Faith. In spiritual growth and in life, if you want to grow, you have to be willing to jump without seeing where you are going to land.
The key is to get out of your own way and follow the spiritual will that leads and guides you - when you are connected and you follow the flow of life, everything works. When you don’t listen and let ego lead, life does not work.
The fifth pillar is the pillar and the goal Self Mastery - if we master ourselves, we can accomplish anything. Define Self Mastery as “the ability to do what needs to be done whether you feel like doing it or not.” As well as not doing what does not need to be done.
Before the retreat we will have five 45-60 minute classes, it will be just you and I in class You will get the formula, learn the formula and now have a formula for success that you will be able to reference, track and measure for the rest of your life. If you follow the path you lay out for yourself through the retreat process, you will have a guaranteed path to happiness and peace.
