Two Opportunities to Connect with Yourself and Others

Claiming Space: On and Off the Mat 

Women's Wellness and Yoga Retreat offered twice a year:


Near the Spring Equinox -  in the Southwest Region (desert)

Near the Fall Equinox - in the Great Lakes Region (water)

Created by Soul Friends

This journey began during a walk on the shores of Lake Michigan when Page (left) was visiting Marianne in the summer of 2024.  These soul friends envisioned creating conditions for women to come home to themselves, through guided and independent experiences for the mind, body and soul, with yoga at the heart of the experience. Hence, Claiming Space: On and Off the Mat  was launched!  The inaugural retreat was held in the desert in March 2025. 


 Marianne and Page have been friends for over 30 years. From becoming instant soulmates while teaching on the Navajo reservation to co-teaching in a Montessori classroom to raising their babies together across 500 miles, and a lifetime of adventures in between, they have spent their lives engaging in their own personal growth. The work they have done on themselves has spilled over into a desire to support others. Marianne and Page have a passion for empowering women to see their own light and live their truths.
