Soulful Shores
A Four-Day Journey to Rest, Recharge, and Reclaim Your Vibrancy
Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of waves, with nothing on your to-do list except showing up for yourself. No meals to plan, no responsibilities calling, just four transformative days in a stunning Great Lake-side setting where you can finally exhale.
Welcome to Soulful Shores, where self-care transforms into true self-resourcing.
You can't pour from an empty cup
In one of my recent workshops, I prompted women to write down a handful of things they want in the next year.
I gave them time, but I could tell it was challenging for some, so I read out my examples.
After doing so, one of the attendees said,
"Wow, all of the things you listed were for you. All the things on my list are really for everyone else."
It's time to put yourself on the list.
You love taking care of others, showing up fully in your work, and making things happen. But lately, you've been craving:
Space to truly exhale
Time to hear your own thoughts
Permission to prioritize yourself
A break from decision-making and daily responsibilities
Connection with other women who get it
Tools for sustainable self-resourcing that go beyond basic self-care
What Makes Soulful Shores Different?
This isn't just another self-care retreat with face masks and wine (though we might enjoy both!).
At Soulful Shores, you'll experience:
True permission to rest
Practical tools for lasting transformation
Meaningful connection with like-minded women
Expert-guided workshops on self-resourcing
Luxurious accommodations at Fresh Coast Cabins (featured in Travel & Leisure and The New York Times!)
All meals thoughtfully prepared for you (by our private chef!)
The healing presence of Lake Superior
&
Zero pressure to "do it all"

You know that feeling when you've been giving and giving, and somewhere deep inside, you know it's time to refill your own cup?
This retreat was created for women just like you - women who are ready to move beyond the quick-fix promises of basic self-care into something more sustainable and true.
Maybe you're craving genuine connection with other women who get it, or perhaps you're simply waiting for permission to prioritize your own rest and renewal.
If you're willing to show up authentically (dry shampoo welcomed here), ready to gather practical tools for living more vibrantly, this is your invitation.
And the best part? While you focus on what matters, we handle all the details.
Because it's time for someone to take care of you for a change.
hello!
I'm Erin!
I know what it's like to feel depleted and lost in seasons of motherhood and womanhood. I also know the transformative power of true self-resourcing - not just the quick-fix self-care we're often sold, but the deep, lasting kind that changes everything.
As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I've built two thriving businesses in West Branch, Michigan - The Highway Brewing Company and Kit's. I'm also a mom of three earth-side, a wife, a leader, and a friend. Through all of these roles, I've learned that being truly present and vibrant isn't about doing more or being more - it's about giving ourselves permission to show up exactly as we are and honoring exactly what we need.
After years of my own self-resourcing journey, I now guide other women to find their unique path to vibrancy. I believe that when women have the space, tools, and permission to resource themselves fully, their light radiates to everyone around them.
Soulful Shores is more than just a retreat - it's an invitation to reclaim your relationship with yourself in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Frequently asked questions:
What if I've never been to a retreat before?
Perfect! This retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you are. You'll find a welcoming community and plenty of guidance throughout your experience.
What are the sleeping arrangements?
You'll have your own private room within a shared luxury cabin at Fresh Coast Cabins. Each cabin features stunning Lake Superior views and comfortable common spaces.
Will there be cell service or wifi?
This is truly an unplugged experience, but in case of emergency, there is wifi in the main lodge to reach your key people.
How do I get to Copper Harbor?
Copper Harbor is located at the tip of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The closest airports are Hancock (CMX) and Marquette (MQT). We'll connect you with other retreat participants to coordinate ride sharing if you'd like, and provide detailed driving directions. Many women find the drive through Michigan's Upper Peninsula to be a beautiful start to their retreat experience.
Do I need to participate in everything?
Not at all! While we've crafted each element of the retreat with intention, this is your time. We encourage you to honor your needs - whether that means joining every activity or taking extra time for rest and reflection. There's no "right way" to retreat.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Absolutely! We work with incredible local chefs who can accommodate various dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Just let us know your requirements when you register, and we'll ensure you're well-nourished throughout your stay.
What level of experience is needed for the movement sessions?
Our gentle morning movement session + hikes are accessible to all levels. No previous experience is necessary, and modifications are always offered. The focus is on connecting with your body, not achieving perfect form.
What makes this retreat different from others?
Soulful Shores isn't about escaping your life - it's about learning to resource yourself within it. While many retreats focus on temporary relaxation, we combine deep rest with practical tools for sustainable self-resourcing. Plus, our intimate group size, stunning location, and focus on both individual growth and community connection create a uniquely transformative experience.
Is there a payment plan available?
Yes! After your initial deposit, the remaining balance can be broken into 4 convenient payments, to be completed by June 15, 2025.
The shore is calling.

A personal note
from Erin
Last summer, one of our participants arrived planning to spend the entire retreat in her cabin with a stack of books. She was exhausted and thought she just needed time alone to read and rest. But something magical happened - the safe space, the community, the invitation to just be... it all called to her. She found herself joining every workshop, each day growing more alive, more present, more herself. By the end of our time together, her whole energy had shifted. She'd found not just rest, but a renewed sense of vibrancy.
That's the magic of Soulful Shores. Whether you come ready to dive deep or simply needing space to breathe, this retreat meets you exactly where you are and guides you toward what you need most.

I left with a clearer picture of where I'm at in my personal, professional and spiritual life and a vision for the future that I've already started implementing.”
—Bekah K.
“From the sessions to the scenery, to the food and the laughs, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was a safe, encouraging, and uplifting atmosphere. I walked away feeling very refreshed and re-set. Ready to take on my future and accomplish the things that I really aspire to.”
