RESPITE by Wanderlark
breathe ● reflect ● connectRooted 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.
We're excited to announce the next edition of RESPITE. Join us at York this September for Back to School Breather: a joyous blend of movement, music, food, and wine.

Experience a day dedicated to your wellbeing
With loneliness being an epidemic and anxiety ever increasing, we all need a break. Our carefully curated blend of movement, meditation, reflection, and community is apt 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.
Recharge Your Mind and Body
Each retreat will kick off with physical movement and meditation.
Not into yoga? No problem. Our retreats are open to all levels and abilities. We encourage you to make the RESPITE experience your own.
Participate in Guided Exercises
We'll guide you through thought-provoking exercises intended to spark self-reflection and personal growth. We invite you to process the day's activities, generate new ideas, and identify action items to improve your wellbeing.
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!)
