SUMMARY:The ‘So Much More’ Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Dona Hohensee\, Certified Grief Educator \n\n\n\nA Sanctuary for Mothers Navigating Loss to Addiction \n\n\n\nWelcome to HighLake Grief Healing\, an extension of HighLake Vacations. We created this space to help mothers such as myself navigate the profound grief of losing a loved one taken by addiction. \n\n\n\nOur mission is born from our own heartbreak. We lost our 24-year-old son\, Phillip\, unexpectedly to a fentanyl overdose. Phillip was a fighter who lived with the disease of addiction through years of both struggle and long-term sobriety. He often told me\, “Mom\, don’t worry\, my life is so much more than my addiction\,” and he was right. He was so much more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy Approach to Healing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy journey led me to become a Certified Grief Educator under the mentorship of world-renowned grief expert David Kessler. This training provided me with the tools to understand the mechanics of loss\, but my heart provided the map for navigating it. \n\n\n\nI don’t believe we “get over” our loss. Instead\, I believe we learn to: \n\n\n\n\nAcknowledge the unique trauma of addiction-related loss.\n\n\n\nRelease the heavy layers of regret\, guilt and “what ifs.”\n\n\n\nReconnect with the love and light our children brought into the world.\n\n\n\n\nI combined my background in hospitality through HighLake Vacations with my grief certification to create something I wished I had: a sanctuary of high-quality care\, nutritious food\, and deep\, communal understanding. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn Olewinski\, owner of True Vibrations Massage will provide massages and sound therapy for this retreat. \n\n\n\nRetreat Structure Overview: \n\n\n\nFriday Night: Setting the Space \n\n\n\n\nArrival\, welcome circle\, and grounding\n\n\n\nIntroduction to our children through pictures and memories\n\n\n\nDinner and Bonfire\n\n\n\n\nSaturday Morning: The Anatomy of the “Heavy” Grief \n\n\n\n\nThe Burden of “Why”: A guided discussion on releasing the search for answers that addiction took away.\n\n\n\nIdentifying the Weight: A quiet reflection exercise where mothers identify where they carry grief in their bodies (shoulders\, chest\, stomach).\n\n\n\nStigma and Shame: A safe circle to explicitly name and “drop” the shame often associated with overdose loss.\n\n\n\nGentle Yoga\n\n\n\nNote: Massage’s for each guest will be woven into the day and again Sunday Morning follow by the option to take a jacuzzi bath afterwards.\n\n\n\n\nSaturday Afternoon: The Architecture of our Beliefs \n\n\n\n\nThe “Relationship” Belief: Reaffirming that love is an energy that does not dissipate.\n\n\n\nThe “More” Belief: Grounding the group in our childs truth—that our children are more than their darkest days and more than the way they left this earth.\n\n\n\nThe “Survival” Belief: Shifting the narrative from “I can’t survive this” to “I am moving with this.”\n\n\n\n\nSaturday Evening: Celebrating our Children’s Life \n\n\n\n\nSound Therapy\n\n\n\nFire celebration including 5 of each of our children’s music\n\n\n\n\nSunday Morning: Stepping Into Self-Leadership \n\n\n\n\nGentle Yoga practice: grounding new awareness through the body\n\n\n\nFinal teaching session: self-trust\, responsibility\, and self-leadership\n\n\n\nClosing circle: claiming a new archetype or chapter moving forward

SUMMARY:HighLake’s Painted Lotus Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:HighLake Vacations welcome’s Painted Lotus!  Come spend the day with us painting\, enjoying an elegant lunch\, exploring nature and socializing while creating refreshing mocktails.   \n\n\n\nCome paint with Stephanie Brunell founder of Painted Lotus. Stephanie’s bio:   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI wondered who I was\, almost 50 years old\, without the titles of various jobs I no longer could work at\, due to disabilities. As a former competition and award winning chef\, and a florist that loved doing weddings and events\, I felt a nudge to create\, and have that joy and passion I used to find in my daily jobs. So did I find that creative joy again? I sure did!!! \n\n\n\n\nI’m a creative and curious individual with a passion for exploring and learning new things. Over the last two years I learned how to garden and grow my own produce from seed. I learned how to can what I grew in the garden\, (which is a science\, not a creative past-time I found out…) I learned how to draw\, paint\, and craft various things. I went on a self awareness journey over this past winter\, which led me down a path of learning who I actually am.  \n\n\n\nI found how healing art could be\, even if it wasn’t perfect to look at. It helped me appreciate and understand myself more\, and that I could find humor and beauty in the mistakes of not only what I was creating\, but of my own physical self.  \n\n\n\nIn this chapter of my life I want to share my art\, and guide others to the fun of creativity. EVEN if you don’t think you have a creative bone in your body…My local artist business offers “fun art”\, not “fine art” paint classes\, in person\, virtual live\, and virtual pre-recorded. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda: \n\n\n\n9:00 – 9:30  Welcome and  Introductions \n\n\n\n9:30 – 12:00  Painting – Choose one of the paintings below.  All painting supplies included. \n\n\n\n12:00 – 1:00  Lunch \n\n\n\n1:00 – 2:30  Discovery Walk – A Discovery walk through HighLake’s scenic property and along Wisconsin’s snowmobile trails – an immersive journey to explore and connect with nature. \n\n\n\n2:30 – 3:30  Mocktail Hour – Socialize while learning how to make Mocktails – 3 recipes will be available. \n\n\n\n3:30 – 4:00  Closing
