Awaken Your Flame
~with Michelle Hillier~

As the founder of Breath+Fire and a TEDx presenter plus author, she delivers immersive, high-impact experiences for schools, universities, and leading corporate groups, guiding teams through burnout, stress, emotional regulation, and nervous-system recovery with practical tools and profound presence.

Through grounding practices, intuitive movement, restorative breathwork, journaling, and guided self-reflection, you’ll reconnect with the part of you that never burned out - your flame, your clarity, your inner resilience.
Dates:
- Sun, March 1st 10am - 1pm
- Sat, April 25th 10am - 1pm

WINTER & SPRING GRIEF RETREAT 2026
We invite you to experience a day of renewal and hope at one of our Grief Retreats. These retreats occur quarterly - spring, summer, fall and winter.
Sun Feb 8th and Sun April 19th
These grief retreats are an offering — a sacred space to be with your grief, held in compassion and quiet support. Whether it has been one year or twenty, the grief process always deserves a moment of pause — to remember, reflect, and acknowledge all that was, and all that now is. This one-day retreat will do just that.
Even in the wake of fresh sorrow, or long after a loss has settled into the fabric of our lives, a strategic pause gives us a quiet promise of growth. Take a moment to gently tend to your emotions around your grief while giving yourself space to breathe.
Date: Sunday February 8th and Sun April 19th, 2026

| | Virginia Copeland Forest Map | | |
Virginia’s Copeland Forest Trail Map (2025 Version) is available.
It’s been about 10 years since the release of the original one in memory of Vicki. This year, with Virginia's father passing, she decided it was the perfect time to revamp the map and release a new updated version in memory of him.
All net proceeds from the map will be donated to a local mental health initiative. I would so appreciate your support.
To purchase one pop by the studio, e-transfer to wellness@vickitree.com with your name and number you want, or visit Vickitree.com and go to the store on the booking system.
$20 for one, 3 for $50. Flat or folded versions.
So grateful to those that choose to support this cause thus far. Thank you :)
