In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Mikaela Millington. She is a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and the founder of Evolve Retreats. Mikaela shares her journey of creating and holding space for transformative in-person experiences.
We dive into what first-time retreat-goers need to know, from setting intentions, connecting with your guide, and understanding group sizes, to recognizing the different types of connection and community that retreats can offer. Mikaela also shares insights into the personal challenges of hosting retreats and trusting the process.
We explore the magic that emerges when people show up authentically, take their masks off, and lean into community and playful moments. Mikaela reflects on her favorite parts of retreats and the value of in-person connection.
Finally, we discuss what’s next for Evolve Retreats, including potential expansions, teacher trainings, and her vision for future offerings that continue to nurture community and growth. This conversation is for anyone curious about retreats, spiritual growth, and the power of in-person experiences and connections.

In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Mik Gerylo—elite athlete, three-time Canadian Spartan Race Series champion, and Phys. Ed teacher—to explore the connection between mind, body, and spirit in sports. Mik shares the journey that led him to become an elite athlete and the deeper life lessons he’s gained along the way. We dive into values and habits that have shaped his approach to both athletics and life. Beyond training and competing, Mik also talks about how he reconnects with himself outside of sports. Whether you're an athlete, a seeker, or simply someone looking for motivation to embrace life's challenges, this conversation is full of inspiration, purpose, and words to live by.
