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.

15 | Amanda Carson: Grief and Loss: A Helpful and Healing Conversation
In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Amanda Carson. She is a Registered Social Worker specializing in grief, loss, and life transitions. Amanda shares how this path found her, rather than her seeking it out. We discuss different grief models and different therapeutic modalities to support people in processing grief and loss. She shares her favourite books, resources, and guidance on what to say and what NOT to say to someone grieving. We also discuss the connection with spirituality and the role of rituals in healing. If you’re looking for a grounded and compassionate conversation about life and loss filled with practical wisdom, this episode is for you!
