Experience a fun and deeply restorative experience designed to combat the winter blues and enhance mental, physical and spiritual wellness. Glisten: A Winter Wellness Retreat will be hosted at The Abbey Resort & Avani Spa near Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The retreat runs from January 23 through 26 and guests are welcome to stay each night or commute from home. Operating daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., this four-day retreat provides a unique opportunity for guests to rejuvenate in a luxurious setting while surrounded by the season’s serene beauty.

The retreat is led by Carissa Beaman, founder of MoonBeaman Retreats, and promises a dynamic program packed with healing workshops, interactive group sessions and mindfulness practices. Key events include daily qigong and meditation sessions, hands-on wellness workshops and immersive healing experiences, all crafted to promote self-care, personal growth and inner balance. Guests will also have access to diverse healing modalities, including body-centered sound baths and energy-balancing workshops.

Among the expert presenters are Kim Pomeroy, who will guide participants in Soul Speak: Listen to Your Body and Heal, teaching attendees to interpret their body’s messages and engage in self-healing. Lamont McPheron will lead tai chi sessions focused on uniting mind and body, while DeEtte, a master teacher and medium, will conduct workshops on enhancing intuitive skills and trusting the gut. Each evening will close with a community bonfire where attendees can unwind, share stories and connect over s’mores under the winter night sky.
