LADIES, THIS IS FOR YOU!
Welcome, my name is Laura Kazimer, and I am the owner of Divine Emergence, LLC. and for this retreat I will be co-hosting with Monique Kasper, owner of Rise Within. This retreat is for women who are ready for that mind/body/soul reset. Just after kids go back to school and before the holidays, this is the most perfect time for us women to come together for a magical Lake House weekend.
This retreat is intended to help get you away from the obligations and away from the constant distractions.
Over the course of five days, you will be held in a private lake house in the heart of Michigan's fall season, surrounded by women who showed up for themselves the same way you did. We will share healing modalities, somatic practices, gentle plant medicine, and integration to help you on your journey with us. We will sit around the fire and talk about the things we rarely say out loud. We will laugh harder than we have in months. We will play. We will rest. We will simply just be.
We will also offer gentle plant medicine ceremonies for those who feel called. This is not a deep dive. This is an introduction, a first conversation with the world of plants, held in a safe and sacred container with experienced facilitators by your side every step of the way.
Your phone stays down while you dive deep into yourself and connection with other, like minded women. This is about presence, relaxation, and healthy, distraction free living.
If your body said yes before your mind caught up, that is your answer. Keep reading and find out if this is for you.

Why An All Women's Retreat?
Because you have been holding it down for everyone else and now it is time somebody holds it for you.
This retreat was designed specifically for women because we are everything to everybody, all of the time! We know what it is like to be fine on the outside while something deeper is asking for our attention. And we know that when women get into an intentional space together, away from the day in and day out, something remarkable happens.
Guards and walls come down. Workshops happen. Conversations take place. The laughter gets loud and the tears come easy, yet nobody has to explain themselves because everybody already understands. This is why we are here!
There is a specific kind of healing that only happens when women gather. It is faster, deeper, and more honest than most of us expect. You will come in as strangers and leave as sisters. That is not an exaggeration. That is just what happens when women are given real permission to show up fully and be met exactly where they are.
And listen, if you have a woman in your life who needs this just as much as you do, bring her. A best friend, a sister, a coworker you have been meaning to have a real conversation with. There is nothing quite like going through something this powerful with someone you already love. You will leave with a shared experience that becomes part of your story together.
Do not talk yourself out of this one.

Is this retreat only for women?
Yes. This is a women only experience, intentionally designed that way. There is something that happens in an all women space that we do not want to dilute. Come as you are.
I don't have experience, is this retreat for me?
Honestly? It might be made for you.
You do not need any prior experience with breathwork, plant medicine, somatic practices, or retreats to be here.

First time giving themselves permission to explore something outside of their normal routine.

What others are saying about their experiences with me.
Last year I found myself in Tulum, out of my comfort zone and ready to do the work on the retreat. Laura is not only a breathwork facilitator; she’s a medicine woman, a friend, a guide, a facilitator, a healer and so much more. She led us through ceremonies with plant medicine. Her voice is powerful and as she leads you through your journey you feel safe and comfortable. And she knows exactly when you need one on one attention. She has a gift. To experience her in a retreat setting is the best investment you could make for yourself. I’d do it all over again!
Not to mention, the integration support was perfect,
Heather K.
I wish I could rate her 10 stars. I have relinquished inauthenticity and I walk with a confidence I never knew I had before. I’m able to get to the root of my trauma with breathwork. She really gives you the tools you need to be able to do it on your own. She is also AMAZING at serving medicine. I did bufo alvarius with her and THAT has also aided me in my life’s transformation. She is graceful and really truly respects you & the medicine she is serving. She is THE REAL DEAL. So grateful to her always for the work she has done in the betterment of society and the world’s vibration as a whole.
Kierra A.
Working with Laura as my breathwork and plant medicine facilitator at a recent retreat was a deeply healing and transformative experience. Her grounded presence immediately made me feel safe, seen, and held. The space she creates is intimate and sacred, allowing for true vulnerability. She is deeply curious and compassionate, always seeking to understand and support your healing journey. I felt her genuine desire to help me move past old traumas. During a particularly intense plant medicine journey, her attentiveness never wavered. She was right there with me—calm, grounded, and fully present. Her support helped me move through some of the most difficult moments with trust. I never felt alone in the process. Laura is a gifted guide, and I’m deeply grateful for the experience.
Vesna A.
My friend invited me to attend Laura’s breathwork session and it was beyond anything that I anticipated. I’ve done breathwork before but never really been able to journey or release emotions like I did in Laura’s class. I’ve been to therapy for years and still really stuck with beliefs that I know aren’t true but I couldn’t change the way I felt. I was fully stuck in my head and not my body.
I felt a huge shift after doing breathwork and each class with Laura is a different experience. I really like how Laura emphasizes integration and offers integration calls. It’s clear that she is truly passionate about the work which shows in her classes. I’m really grateful that I found this work and can’t thank Laura enough!
