🌊 Cool Down in Lake Huron
After the sauna, take a refreshing plunge into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron—a natural cold therapy experience to reset your body and mind.
🌿 Unstructured Time in Nature
Walk the forested trails. Sit by the water. Write, rest, stretch, or simply be. You’ll have access to both the expansive state park and the private land at Star Forest.
🍲 Optional Bring-Your-Own Community Dinner
Gather by the fire in the evening for a light, bring-your-own dish style meal.
No pressure—just presence.
🎶 Soft Sounds + Starry Skies
Gentle music plays near the fire as the sun sets and the stars rise. Bring a blanket and settle in.

Come as you are—leave grounded, rested, and renewed.
