Take a weekend away
from the hustle and bustle of daily life to surround yourself with what
renews your body and your mind. Enjoy all raw food meals and snacks,
yoga classes, raw food preparation classes, round table discussions and
more!
Location
The retreat is being
held at De Sales Retreat Center just outside of Brooklyn, Michigan,
just 45 minutes from Ann Arbor. The retreat is beautifully landscaped
and sits on property just off of M-50 on Daugherty Road.
Accomodations
Each spacious room
has a private bath and two bunk beds to accomodate your group of two to
four adults (or even up to six people if you are bringing children who
don't mind sharing a full bed.) We will work with you to make the most
comfortable room groupings possible based on your requests. The lodge
is complete with a living area fireplace, large screen TV (for viewing
DVD’s about the environment, health, and raw food), a dining area and
full kitchen. We will enjoy yoga, dining and other recreation in the
neighboring building which has a large meeting room complete with a
vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and stage in addition to a separate dining
area that can seat up to 50 for our meals and talks.
Amenities Available
The spacious
grounds include a basketball court, softball field, brick patios, lawn
furniture, a playground and plenty of green grass, beautiful flowers,
gentle breezes from the lake, paths to walk, and places to meditate.
Activities to Enjoy

Hands-on food preparation classes prior to each meal. Come to one or all!
In addition to
providing raw food instruction, Michael Dwyer will be speaking on a
variety of raw food related topics throughout the event.
