Whidbey Island, Wa is an island off the coast of Washington State, north of Seattle. The charming island town is known for deception pass state part, mystic pine forests, lakes, and cute little towns like Langley, Wa, which is where the retreat is being held. Also, for those "Practical Magic" fans, this is where the movie was filmed --- we are SO excited.
Join Mel Afflerbach + Emily Snieska as they guide you through a foodie, mystic, and outdoorsy 4 Day 3 night retreat on the beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington.The town gives off art, culture, seafood, outdoorsy experience. November is the the perfect time for a coastal, fall weekend. Cozy fires, wine tasting, forest vibes with temps in the 50-60s. It's a perfect setting to practice yoga, cozy up next to the fire with a blanket & hot tea & seeing incredible cliffside views.
All meals are Organic, farm-to-table foods, coffees and teas. The VIBE of this retreat is "ALIGNING" Yourself + embracing change. We ask you to allow yourself to let go of your stresses, your day to day distractions and embrace what we have in store!
