The Blue Mind Wellness Retreat

Return to Nature. Restore Internal Coherence.

November 6–8, 2026 | The Shoreline of Green Bay, Wisconsin

Imagine beginning your morning with the gentle rhythm of water, morning light dancing across the bay, and the quiet invitation to simply be.

The view from the kitchen and porch!!

Join us for The Blue Mind Wellness Retreat, an intimate, women-only immersion designed to awaken the healing state that author and marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols calls Blue Mind—the mildly meditative state we enter when we are in, on, near, or contemplating water.

Hosted on the pristine shoreline of the Bay of Green Bay—fed by the living waters of Lake Michigan—this restorative weekend invites you to step away from the noise of daily life and return to your original nature.

Through water, community, movement, nourishment, sauna, ritual, and stillness, we create the conditions for deep restoration of body, mind, and spirit.

This is not simply a retreat.

It is an opportunity to remember.

To soften.

To reconnect.

To restore internal coherence.

Your Blue Mind Experience

Nestled at the end of a quiet road just 20 minutes north of downtown Green Bay on the way toward Door County, our retreat home sits tucked into nature along the Edgewater Beach shoreline.

The home itself is an experience—thoughtfully designed with timeless warmth and creative charm. Expansive windows frame endless views of the bay, inviting water into every moment of your stay. Cozy nooks, curated bedrooms, and intimate gathering spaces encourage both connection and solitude.

Step outside onto the private porch with a warm beverage at sunrise. Wander the shoreline. Watch the stars emerge over the water in the evening.

Let nature become your co-facilitator.

Property photos and room selection details will be released as the retreat home completes its final design and debut as a luxury shoreline retreat.

What is Blue Mind?

Modern life often keeps us in states of Red Mind—stress, urgency, overstimulation, and constant productivity.

Blue Mind offers another way.

Research suggests that spending time near water supports nervous system regulation, creativity, emotional well-being, and feelings of connection. Water invites us into a state of calm attentiveness where healing naturally unfolds, cortisol levels drop, and your parasympathetic nervous system lights up.

At Wild Waters Wellness, we intentionally cultivate these conditions through immersive experiences rooted in Ayurveda, water wisdom, sound, nature, and embodied presence.

Throughout the Weekend You Will Experience:

• Daily Blue Mind Flow Yoga experiences

• Guided meditations by the water

• 528 Hz Miracle Tone sound baths

• Traditional Finnish sauna access all weekend

• Optional lake cold plunges

• Water blessing rituals

• Ceremonial cacao on the beach with the water

• Campfires beneath the stars

• Soul Craft experiences for both self and water

• Spacious time for reflection and integration

• Meaningful community with like-hearted women

• Deep rest and nervous system restoration

This retreat is intentionally substance-free, allowing participants to experience the profound medicine of presence, nature, and authentic connection.

Nourishment as Medicine

Meals throughout the retreat will be lovingly prepared by a local, holistic chef (details being finalized - you are going to LOVE her!!) and designed to nourish on every level.

Expect vibrant, hydrating foods rich in prana—life force energy—crafted to support cellular nourishment, vitality, and coherence restoration.

Food becomes part of the healing.

Water becomes the teacher.

Community becomes the medicine.

Sauna & Water Rituals

Throughout the weekend, our friends at Forest Bay Sauna - Green Bay will provide a traditional Finnish sauna experience.

Guests are invited to alternate between the warmth of the sauna and the invigorating waters of the bay through optional, weather-dependent cold plunges or cool rain-inspired shower. This Nordic-inspired practice supports circulation, resilience, nervous system regulation, and vitality.

Your Welcome Gift

Each retreat guest will receive a thoughtfully curated welcome gift bag including:

• A copy of Blue Mind by Dr. Wallace J. Nichols

• Signature retreat keepsake (it's going to be GORGEOUS!)

This creates a retreat container that allows for deeper conversation, authentic community building, and personalized guidance throughout the weekend.
