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.

17 | Amie Seier: Resilience, Heartbreak, Chaos, and Community
In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Amie Seier, entrepreneur and founder of The Community, a boutique fitness studio in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Amie shares her journey of entrepreneurship, from a seed planted over a decade ago at a spin studio to owning and operating The Community Gym today. We discuss hardship, heartbreak, divorce, carrying boxes, values, and much more. This is an honest and beautifully messy conversation between pals. Amie offers wisdom on resilience, self-love, and self-compassion (even when it feels like an uncomfortable pair of pants). Expect tears, laughter, dog metaphors, and a reminder that Ceremony isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.
Let’s connect!
