Bayfield, Wisconsin, United States
Wild Rise: Rituals of Renewal, a retreat led by Jen Veralle — founder of Sauna and Sobriety and the Mindful Drinking Movement — is a full-sensory experience rooted in community, ritual, a softening and deep restoration. Jen is trained in the Revivery method, a bio-psycho-social approach to hot and cold contrast therapy that honors the whole person: physical, emotional, and relational. Wild Rise invites you into a guided experience through intentional sauna rituals, learning about the culture of sauna, immersion in cold plunge practices led by Belén Fleming, and the science and history behind why heat and cold therapy transform us from the inside out, specifically for women. Off the sauna bench, the retreat celebrates a new kind of toast. Elevated nonalcoholic beverages will be featured throughout the entire weekend, creating an environment where alcohol-free sipping is the norm. The weekend is intentionally unhurried and creative expression is abound, guided by Kada Goalen, a muralist and maker. Unstructured time, forest hikes, yoga round out a retreat designed to restore and reconnect. Rituals of Renewal is open to anyone ready to feel deeply well — no experience necessary, just a willingness to show up, slow down, soften, and rise.
