Unplug, Relax, and Deepen Your Overall Wellbeing

 

Our 2024 Summer Retreat is now bundled with the 3 month Body Burden Bootcamp program, so you can truly feel your best, look your best, and BE your best!

Instead of a vacation, we invite you to consider a purposeful getaway aimed at removing you from the everyday situations and stressors that are pulling you in the wrong direction. A retreat where you can unwind, relax, and deepen your continuing wellness journey. This is a chance to unplug and spend time with yourself, to discover and heal anything that has been holding you back on your journey to health.

Imagine the amazing change you will be celebrating when you have completed your 3 month Body Burden Bootcamp and then join us for an amazing weekend away, reconnecting with yourself and being immersed in this new lifestyle of health and wellness!

 

 

Join Preventative Health Experts Jenni Wise and Kendra Duquette on the Take Your Health Back Now! Wellness Retreat!

We’ve created a perfect combination of a health and wellness program and an amazing weekend away, so that you can get away from the everday stressors and refresh your mind, recharge your body, and enhance your wellness journey!

Get Away and Connect with Nature

Unwind, slow down the fast pace, and get back in touch with nature. Spend the weekend with us in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest, surrounded by the beauty of Southern Illinois. Weather permitting, we will host the majority of our programming outside on the grounds.

Healthy Meals Prepped for You

Delicious, healthy meals will be provided as part of the retreat programming. Food prep, cooking demos, and time to answer any questions and provide tips on things that might be holding you back in this area will be included. 

Immersive Wellness Activities

We will make sure your time throughout the weekend is balanced between unwinding and destressing as well as growing your understanding of the Preventative Health Lifestyle. With activities touching on mindset, nutrition, environment, and movement all led by experts.

Relax, Replenish, & Reconnect

Retreat Hosts & Preventative Health Experts Jenni Wise and Kendra Duquette will help you take a pause and reprioritize what you need to bring more ease into your life.

The Makanda Inn

We chose the Makanda Inn as the setting for this retreat for many reasons. It is an eco-friendly retreat that sits on 18 acres of lush woodland, in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest, with the Drury Creek winding through it. The design and building techniques used expressly fit the natural environment by using eco-friendly construction methods and sustainable materials bearing a low carbon footprint. Local and natural building materials such as straw bales for the walls, earthen plaster, recycled plastic roofing materials and reclaimed wood are integrated throughout the Inn. Additionally, our retreat guests will have full use of the entire Inn building, including the 5 suites.

Luxurious, Eco-Friendly Suites

All 5 luxury suites within the main Inn building are available for the retreat. They include a king bed and a lovely sitting area.

Ensuite bathroom

All ensuite bathrooms include a sink laid into a stunning black walnut wood slab sustainably harvested locally and Riverstone or beautifully tiled shower.

Outdoor Access

Each suite has access to a sitting area on the wrap around balcony or ground floor patio overlooking the wooded grounds.
