Sometimes, you just know.

Sometimes you just know when it’s time to say enough is enough of simply “getting by” in life. When it’s time to say goodbye to giving fear the driver’s seat in your life’s journey. When it’s time to stop hiding your talent and brilliance and to step into the fullness of who you are for this short and precious time on earth.

When your soul wants to shine, it first speaks to you in a whisper, louder and louder, echoing across the chambers of your heart. A soul that wants to shine demands you to stand at attention, slink out of the old brittle skin that is no longer serving you. To do the work, take the wavy route, stop for breaks at the tiny islands of your life—taking time for tea with a friend, making love in the afternoon, trying something that makes you feel completely silly. Skinning your knees, brushing yourself off. Getting back up. Letting the lullaby of your ancestors, of the stars lull you to sleep at night. Burn the old and emerge fresh, agleam, ready to see and absorb all of the sparkly-ness of your life like a vitamin designed by and for you and only you.

If you know it’s time to awaken the radiance within you, we invite you to join us for a transformative day this February.

You're warmly welcomed to join Monique Forcier and Katrina Pierson for a soulful winter day retreat in Duluth, MN on February 10, 2024 from 9 am-5pm. Embrace the winter enchantment and relish the crisp air in captivating Duluth at the historic downtown Oliver Inn boutique hotel and Evolve Yoga Studio— with dedicated moments to indulge in yoga, meditation, journaling, group discussion, sound bath, 1:1 spiritual guidance, healthy food, optional sauna and meaningful connections.

This retreat is designed to support embodying your own inner boldness and radiance. During the retreat, we will provide support for you to release the fears that are keeping you from embracing your own inner light so that you can radiate out into the world. This retreat is to help you bring you back to your authentic self.

Embodying Boldness will give you the opportunity to:

  • Release the fears that do not allow you to shine your inner radiance.

  • Learn how to stop playing small in your life with yoga practices, guided inner inquiry discussion and sound healing to help break loose old patterns of belief and behavior.

  • Connect with yourself and other beautiful souls —during activities, over meals, and break time.

The Retreat Includes:

  • Programming from 9am to 5pm on February 10.

  • A vegetarian Lunch on Saturday- which will be customized based on the needs of our group and will be enjoyed at the studio.

  • Guided meditation, Kundalini yoga, a special talk on stepping into yourself by Katrina, supportive journaling on courage, inner inquiry discussions, a sound bath by Monique, slow flow, and a burning ceremony to ignite your inner fire.

Retreat Cost:

  • $185.00 (includes lunch)

Registration is limited to 12 participants.

*Registration closes February 3. A 50% non-refundable deposit will be paid at the time of booking and final payment is due 4 days prior to the retreat. All payments are non-refundable unless the retreat is cancelled or rescheduled by the instructors.

  • Monique Forcier

    Spiritual Coach, 220 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Intuitive Energy Healer, and Certified Sound Healer

    I have always been the person whose center is spiritual. I have been diligent throughout my life on continually improving not only my life and outlook but that of the ones who are around me. I have a gift to give to the world with my unique perspective and lens.

    I am able to be of service in the following ways. Being a witness and coach for those who are going through transitions in their lives or are just in need of someone to have their back. Leading group sessions that help others and myself to heal and evolve to higher levels of consciousness. I want to continue to be the person that nourishes the light that is in all of us, even if it is only being the example.

    I live in both Duluth and Bayfield and enjoy the beauty that is Lake Superior. I love being by her or on her, feeling her beauty and bounty.

    I love offering classes to groups to lift the consciousness and facilitate experiences that help people to do the deeper, more meaningful work. I am a calm extrovert who truly gets filled up and inspired by being around other fabulous souls. I am excited for the future and what is yet to come. I have a deep knowing that connection is the way we will all grow and evolve this planet. Our influences and love is the only way.

  • Katrina Pierson

    Leadership Coach, Entrepreneur, 200-HR Yoga Teacher, Meditation Guide, Poet and Designer

    I am a mother of 2 and the Managing Partner of Evolve and bring a background in Vippassana mediation and leadership coaching to my work as a yoga teacher and studio director. I seek to bring equal parts support and energy as a teacher, mixing mindful movement, breath work, mantra and music for an inspired practice.

    In addition to teaching yoga and meditation, I am a leadership and mindset coach and committed student of applied neuroscience. But underneath titles and roles I am a soul who loves to connect, challenge myself to show up as my authentic, messy self and set aside ego and expectation so I can bow to the delights and blessings that my beloveds, old and new, bring to my life each day.

    I am passionate about using brain science to empower myself and others to lead happy, healthy lives. I am also inspired by opportunities to engage youth in recreation to create greater emotional safety and connection for their growth.

Invest in yourself (or gift to your lover).
