This Blissful & Creative Private Retreat is designed to leave attendees relaxed, recharged, and filled with inspiration! After arriving and taking time to settle in, we will meet in the dining room to celebrate all things delicious with a four-course dinner featuring flavorful and seasonal dishes paired with quality non-alcoholic beverages.

Later in the evening, we will gather in the chapel for an evening restorative yoga & meditation experience that engages all of our senses and is designed to help us relax and unwind. On Saturday morning, wake up, grab a cup of coffee or tea and/or some fresh fruit and enjoy the new day reading, journaling, relaxing or feel free to sleep in. After a nutritious breakfast, we will depart to visit unique boutiques and shops in Morris and stop for lunch at Letty Mae's Tea Room before heading to Ivy Oaks Floral Garden and Studio in Somonauk where studio owner, Angela Grandgeorge, will provide us with an evergreen wreath design instruction session that includes all of the supplies we need to design our own winter/holiday wreath! Upon returning to The Homestead 1854 there will be time for rest and relaxation before a Wine and Crostini Pairing – It is The Homestead 1854’s belief that a wine and crostini pairing should be a complete sensory experience and so this is a premium experience of eight wines accompanied by savory and sweet crostinis finished with a port and dessert pairing.

On Sunday morning, we will gather in the chapel for a blended yoga and meditation session designed to help us to focus on what important during the December holiday month, preparing us to better able to face any challenges that may arise while cultivating a sense of joy, happiness and peace during the holiday and then have breakfast before checking out.

This customized retreat cost each of the attendees $576.
