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.

14 | Amelia Barnes: Slow Fashion and Authentic Living
In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Amelia Barnes. She is an entrepreneur, yoga teacher, writer, and mother. Amelia shares how her life has evolved over the past decade, from teaching yoga to founding Prana Vida Style, a Canadian-made sustainable clothing company. We also talk about her book, Landon’s Legacy, a deeply personal reflection on the life and loss of her son Landon, who passed away at just four days old. Whether you’re interested in slow fashion, entrepreneurship, creativity, or sustainability, this conversation is filled with real and raw human stories about life, loss, and authenticity.
