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.

3 | Taking the Leap: Embracing Imperfection and Starting Before You're Ready
In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I am sharing publicly—for the first time ever—the true origin story of my bootcamp business I had in Winnipeg. At 20 years old, I unintentionally started a wildly successful business overnight. After 10 years, I’m excited to finally share the origin story of how it all went down. In this episode, I talk about the importance of “writing your first draft” because it’s the only way you’ll get to draft 17. I also talk about how I’m not ready to start this podcast, but I am doing it anyway! I hope it empowers you to get started on whatever it is you want to accomplish in 2025.
