Willowbrook Wellness Day Retreats
We believe healing does not happen through pushing harder. It happens when the body finally feels safe enough to soften.
Our retreat days are an invitation to step away from the noise, the pressure, and the constant doing. Return to yourself through rest, breath, movement, connection, and the grounding presence of the land.
Held on our peaceful farm along Bass Lake, these intimate day retreats weave together the calming rhythm of the water, the steadiness of the earth, open skies, gentle forest trails, nourishing practices, and meaningful community.
What to Expect
Our retreat days are intentionally designed to nourish the nervous system and support deep restoration, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Throughout the day, you may experience:
-
Gentle movement
-
Guided breath and meditation
-
Grounding practices in nature
-
Meaningful conversation and community
-
Time by the lake to rest, reflect, and reconnect
-
Nourishing lunch, snacks, and refreshments
-
Quiet moments to simply pause and breathe
Held by Water & Land
There is something deeply regulated when you’re near water. The gentle movement of the lake, besides the open fields, and the quiet rhythm of the farm all invite the body to slow down naturally.
At Willowbrook Wellness, the land itself becomes part of the experience. You are invited to walk barefoot in the grass, breathe deeply under open skies, rest by the water, and remember what it feels like to simply be.

"I want to thank you for hosting such a fantastic day at your very special place. What a pleasure to be able to see you in action, stepping into your power and bringing forward your unique gifts and teachings. Your property is a gorgeous piece of nature with amazing energy - the perfect backdrop for the work you are creating. That gazebo is incredible. The shape is perfect for that type of gathering, and it is beautifully built too. You and Bass have been putting so much love into every detail and making sure the people attending feel so welcome and cared for - thank you for that.
The boat ride was so cool, and the animals and dragonflies sealed the deal. I personally felt like my body melted as we moved through the program, feeling more and more grounded and relaxed. Even my foot felt better after I soaked it in the lake! Thank you again for such a great experience. You have found a gem of a place to be the stage for your magic.
Cheers to many more retreats and future projects. I have a feeling this is just the beginning."

Hello, I'm Gerda
I am the heart and host behind Willowbrook Wellness.
After years of believing healing meant doing more, a season of forced rest changed everything. I realized my calling wasn’t to push or perform — but to create soft, nurturing spaces where others could slow down too.
As a holistic wellness practitioner trained in grounding techniques, EFT, and NLP, I now guide women and entrepreneurs back to themselves — helping them regulate their nervous systems and feel safe again in their own bodies.
Here on Willowbrook Farms, I host gentle experiences rooted in nature, presence, and care.
