RESPITE by Wanderlark

breathe ● reflect ● connect

Rooted in proven concepts of wellbeing, RESPITE retreats are thoughtfully designed to give you time and space to breathe, reflect, and connect — with your true self and with others in the community.

Join us for an accessible, one-day experience that offers a break from the hustle & bustle of everyday life.

Experience a day dedicated to your wellbeing

With loneliness being an epidemic and anxiety ever increasing, we all need a respite. Our carefully curated blend of movement, meditation, reflection, and community is sure to boost your mental health.

The Inspiration Behind RESPITE's Creation

Psychologists have done extensive research on the impact of experiences on mental health & wellbeing. While multiple-day retreats in exotic locales are exciting, they're not always feasible.

RESPITE was born from a desire to help individuals feel the benefits of positive experiences and find solace right here in Ann Arbor. Our founder recognized the need for a dedicated space to breathe, reflect, and connect.

What You’ll Experience at RESPITE Retreats

Immerse yourself in a hygge environment conducive to comfort and connection. Our retreats offer a unique opportunity to step away from daily stressors and embrace tranquility.

Build Community

As part of the RESPITE journey, we encourage you to connect with fellow attendees. You'll have ample opportunities to share your insights and receive wisdom throughout the day. (Sharing is not required; introverts are welcome!)

Introducing RESPITE
