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.

13 | Jazmin Feschuk: Ancestral Reconnection and Indigenous Healing
In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Jazmin Feschuk. She is a First Nations woman from Sechelt Nation, a counsellor, and my good friend and colleague. In this episode, Jazmin shares her personal story of how spirituality helped her reconnect with her First Nations roots. This is a conversation for our younger selves—for those who needed something like this to listen to early on in their reconnecting journeys. We talk about the challenges, what was helpful, and what was healing. We discuss status, blood quantum, and mixed ancestry. Jazmin also shares how culture has become a way of life for her and how she balances modern life with traditional teachings.
