Three Days of Bliss
Day 1
All registered retreaters get a detailed itinerary 4-6 weeks prior to the retreat. On your first day, you’ll arrive ready to dive right into everything Sugar Lake Lodge has to offer. Feel free to take advantage of our watersports options on Sugar Lake, our 18-hole golf course, outdoor sports and games, beaches, hiking and biking trails, and much more. Some guided and group activities may be available for early-arrival participants! The Leadership Lodge setting encourages exploration and ease from the moment you arrive, making it simple to settle in and feel at home.
Day 2
After staying a night in one of our gorgeous lakeside rooms (choose from villas to cabins and a variety of lodge rooms and suites for any group size), you’ll have the option of choosing from the many activities available on your itinerary. There are plenty of options— yoga, meditation, workshops, recreation, etc. —so you get to choose what works best for you and your group. Feel free to explore the lake and grounds in between activities!
Day 3
Enjoy a Sunday morning brunch and more activities early on in the day. You can stay on site and use all the resort amenities until you are ready to make your trip home, or you can extend your stay and continue to explore all that Grand Rapids and the Minnesota Northwoods has to offer. There’s hiking, biking, fishing, and beautiful scenery that stretches miles in every direction! Ask how you can add a discounted Sunday night extension to your stay!
“Boreal bliss yoga retreats have been the best experience for me. It’s nice to get away with other like minded people in the wilderness.
I always feel refreshed after. I will definitely go every time they have one!!”
