Madeline Island is the spiritual home for the Ojibwe tribe, guided here by Great Spirit. Nestled in a secluded log cabin surrounded by the healing waters of Lake Superior, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this secret getaway is where creativity flourishes and inspiration abounds. Madeline Island exudes an aura of tranquility and wonder, making it the perfect haven for writers and artists seeking restoration and inspiration.

This is where I wrote The Spiritual Vixen’s Guild to an Unapologetic Life and The Maiden Voyage, as well as many sermons and songs, like My Dear Ireland. This is where my mother-in-law, Jeannine Rhine Schaub, the cabin's original owner, spent decades writing a weekly article for the newspaper she ran with her husband. It’s a powerful vortex for the creative flow. I have been hosting writing and spiritual retreats on the Island for several years.

The invitation is limited to 6-7 creatives.

The enchanted experience of five days and nights in a rustic log cabin, surrounded by fellow writers engaging in stimulating conversations and thought-provoking prompts, will ignite the imagination and stir the soul.

Questions? Let’s connect.

There is star gazing, sound healing, strolling the labyrinth, hiking, yoga, and a delicious healthy menu. Hang in the hammock, nap on a chaise lounge, enjoy a bike ride or a dip in the lake, or check out the award-winning beaches within walking distance of the cabin.

You’ll leave the retreat with greater confidence, direction, and clarity for your creative goals. Plus, a fresh batch of spiritual tools and personal clarity.

These creative/writing retreats are intimate and life-changing. If you are looking to relax, restore, remember, and write, schedule a chat or click the accommodation that best fits your needs. I look forward to seeing you on the Island.
