🍂 Meet the people guiding your Wellness Wednesday experience.

Wellness Wednesday isn’t about sitting in one room following a schedule all day.

It’s about creating your own wellness journey. ✨

Throughout the day, you’ll be invited to learn, move, breathe, connect, explore, rest, and choose the experiences that feel right for you.

Included with your ticket:

🌿 An opening Welcome + Grounding with Cassandra Brausen of Earthly Essence

🍵 A Tea Ceremony + Mini Sound Bath with Rachel Harveland of Altar Haus

🎤 Featured Speaker: Jewel Wacker of Temple Essentials sharing What You Put On & In Your Body Matters

And during our Choose Your Path breakout, three experiences will be offered simultaneously—you simply choose the one that speaks to you:

🧘 Forest Flow Yoga with Leah Conboy of Heart's Garden
🌬️ Breathwork with Ryan Finck of Uncharted light
🌸 Inner Child Workshop with Amanda Sutter of Manda Bear Heart Healing LLC

Later in the day, we’ll gather again for:

🎤 Featured Speaker: Bestselling author and leadership coach Ruth Hetland of The Strong Alliance sharing Strength Grows Through Connection

🎶 And close our day with Stretch & Sound led by Karianne Hardmeyer of Earth Moon Magick.

All of these experiences are included with your Wellness Wednesday ticket. 🤍

And between them? That’s where the Wellness Village comes alive.

Wander the grounds. Have lunch by the lake. Listen to live acoustic music. Visit our wellness practitioners and vendors. Grab a smoothie or coffee. Book a private healing session or reading. Find a quiet place beneath the trees. Connect with someone new.

The beauty of the day is that you get to shape it in a way that feels right for you.

Choose what calls to you.
Pause when you need to.
Explore at your own pace.

✨ Our Founding Practitioner Circle is officially complete! ✨

When the Lakes Area Wellness Collective began, it started with a vision—to create a space where wellness practitioners could come together not in competition, but in connection, collaboration, and community.

And then people started saying yes. 🤍

When we launched, we opened a limited number of Founding Practitioner memberships at a special founding rate for those who were willing to step in, believe in the vision, and help us build this community from the very beginning.

Those founding memberships are now officially FULL. 🌿

I’m incredibly grateful for every practitioner and business who chose to be part of this beginning. You brought your gifts, your ideas, your connections, and your willingness to help create something new for the Lakes Area.

And in just a few short months, we’ve already gathered, connected, collaborated, welcomed our community in, and begun creating experiences that bring so many different paths to wellness together.

The founding chapter may be complete, but our community is still growing. 🤍

Practitioner and business memberships remain open for those who feel called to become part of the Lakes Area Wellness Collective, now at our regular annual membership rate.

To our Founding Members—thank you for helping create the foundation.

And to those who join us next—we can’t wait to welcome you into what we’re building together. 🌿

✨ Interested in becoming part of the Collective?

Practitioner, business, and individual memberships are still open.

Meet Tiffany Van Watermulen
🌿 Owner of Alkemi | Founding Member

We’re excited to introduce Tiffany VW, one of the Founding Members of the Lakes Area Wellness Collective!

Tiffany is the owner of Alkemi, a welcoming space built around the belief that transformation begins from within. Her vision brings together holistic wellness, nourishing food, education, creativity, connection, intentionally curated products, and community—all under one roof.

At Alkemi, wellness is meant to be explored and experienced. From nourishing food and catering to crystals, workshops, wellness events, guided meditations, sound bowl healing, and private shopping experiences, each offering is thoughtfully chosen to support greater balance, connection, and personal growth.

And Alkemi is continuing to grow! Tiffany’s vision includes expanding into additional one-on-one wellness services and creating even more opportunities for practitioners, artists, and community members to gather, learn, and connect.

We love the spirit of collaboration and community behind what Tiffany is creating, and we’re so grateful to have Alkemi represented within the Lakes Area Wellness Collective.

🍂 A little behind-the-scenes look at what we’re creating for Wellness Wednesday!

Today we headed out to Xanadu Island to begin mapping out where everything will come to life on September 23…and standing on the property imagining it all happening made us even more excited.

This entire island will become our little Wellness Village for the day. 🏡

Yoga overlooking the lake.
Breathwork tucked into a peaceful space.
Inspiring speakers.
Private healing sessions.
A Wellness Marketplace to wander through.
Nourishing food, smoothies, coffee + tea.
Live acoustic music playing while you enjoy lunch.
And beautiful spaces throughout the property to slow down, connect, explore, or simply sit by the water.

The best part?

You get to create your own experience.

Move when you want to move.
Learn when you want to learn.
Explore what calls to you.
Rest when you need to rest.

Some moments we’ll experience together, and others you’ll choose for yourself.

A huge thank you to The Hideaway at Xanadu Island for opening this beautiful property to us and helping make our very first Wellness Wednesday possible. 🤍
