I Did It! I Finished My Master’s in SEL, Mindfulness, Yoga & Transformative Leadership

Hello All,

I have the biggest news to share—and I can barely contain my excitement…

I just completed my Master’s in Social-Emotional Learning, Mindfulness, Yoga, and Transformative Leadership & Wellness!

All the late nights, reflection journals, Zoom classes, meditations, research projects, and yoga flows have led to this moment. I'm feeling so proud and SO READY to share everything I’ve learned with you.

Crochet + Connection + Wellness

You know I’ve always believed that crochet is more than just yarn and hooks—it’s a form of self-care, a moving meditation, and a creative connection to the present moment.

Now that I’ve deepened my practice with this master’s program, I’m bringing everything together—my passion for crochet, my knowledge of wellness, and my commitment to community—in one incredible weekend retreat.

Introducing: The Crochet Connection Retreat

October 24–26, 2025 | Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin

This fall, I’m inviting you to join me for a cozy, creative, soul-nourishing weekend where we’ll combine the joy of crochet with wellness practices like gentle chair yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, journaling, wine tasting, laughter, and deep sisterhood.

What’s New Now That I’ve Graduated?

This retreat is unlike anything I’ve done before.

I’m weaving in everything from my studies:

  • Social-Emotional Learning tools to help us reconnect with ourselves and each other

  • Mindfulness & Meditation to calm our nervous systems and deepen presence

  • Gentle Chair Yoga for every body and every level

  • Transformative Leadership practices to help you reclaim your voice and energy

  • And of course... plenty of time to crochet, relax, and sip a glass of wine or two

This Is For You If You’re Craving…

  • A weekend away that’s all about YOU

  • Connection with like-minded, warm-hearted women

  • Time to slow down, breathe, and get creative

  • A safe, cozy space to be fully yourself

  • A retreat that blends joy, rest, movement, and inspiration

Let’s Make a Weekend of It!

I want this retreat to feel like a warm hug and a deep exhale.
If you’ve ever said to yourself:
“I wish I could take a break and do something just for me,” — then this is your moment.

I’m celebrating this huge milestone in my life by creating space for you to celebrate yourself too.

Come to the retreat.
Come connect.
Come crochet.
Come fill your cup.

I can’t wait to see your face and share this beautiful experience together.

With gratitude, yarn love, and a whole lot of excitement,
Marie
