🌴 THE VEGAN WELLNESS RETREAT VLOG IS LIVE, AND IT IS SO MUCH FRUIT🍌

Truckloads of tropical fruit, raw pizza night, a giant banana pudding and one very happy durian dance🥳

Around 300 of us ate, laughed and learned together in Michigan, and the whole retreat sold out more than a month early. I filmed as much as I could in between the prep madness, and a huge thank you to Sarah and Chase @veganwellnessretreats for creating such an amazing event and inviting me to be part of it❤️

🍕Chef Kevin @rawfoodiestyle n I ran the kitchen, with 60+ raw pizza crusts spinning in multiple dehydrators
🍈Big love to @fruithuntersco for the epic tropicals
🥭Black sapote, white sapote, mamey and durian from my friends at @durianwriter
🎉A raw vegan wedding cake by Dan @enzyme.333 and way too many happy faces

Did you know Vegan Wellness Retreats are family-friendly?

We offer a full kids program running all day long, so parents can enjoy keynote lectures, workouts, cooking demos, and relaxation knowing their children are in a safe, fun, and engaging environment.

Our amazing kids program keeps everyone busy with activities like:
Arts & crafts
Games/onsite Playground
Banana nice cream parties
Tie-dye
Sandcastle building
Outdoor adventures
…and so much more!

But one of the biggest benefits isn’t just the activities—it’s the friendships. ❤️

Your kids will spend the retreats surrounded by other like-minded children from plant-based families, building friendships and making memories that last long after the retreat ends. It’s a place where they can truly feel like they belong. New to VWR for BOTH 2027 retreats are onsite playgrounds! Kids will have a blast at kids club.
Meanwhile, parents get the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the retreat experience, knowing their children are having just as much fun as they are!

Kids club is open at both 2027 VWR’s daily from 630 am- 930 pm. It’s a retreat for the entire family!

As I scroll through the photos from this past week, I’m honestly blown away.
The smiles, the laughter, the connections, the movement, the incredible food, the friendships old and new—it all reminds me why we do this. Seeing hundreds of people come together from across the United States and around the world to celebrate health, wellness, community, and joy is something I’ll never take for granted.
To every guest, volunteer, speaker, chef, vendor, and team member: thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your time, your energy, and your memories. The moments we shared this week are the kind that last a lifetime.
A very special thank you to @symbioticsolutions . He went far above and beyond all week long, capturing the heart and soul of this community. Just look at these photos. The joy, the connection, the energy, the love—he somehow found a way to preserve it all! These aren’t just pictures; they’re memories we’ll cherish for years to come. We are so grateful for the passion, talent, and countless hours he poured into documenting the VWR family!
What started with a small group a few years ago has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined, and it’s because of each and every one of you!
My heart is full. ❤️
Thank you for being part of this incredible community! We already can’t wait to do it all again and see everyone in Texas this March!

🍓 Fruit, Triglycerides, Fatty Liver, and Diabetes... Let's Talk Properly👀

This conversation with Dr. Rick Dina is one every fruit based eater needs in their back pocket🙌

"Too much fruit causes fatty liver" is one of the most persistent myths in nutrition and Dr. Dina breaks it down with actual science, not opinion, not fear, actual peer reviewed evidence💚

If you have ever been questioned by a doctor, a family member, or just a random person on the internet about eating too much fruit... this is your resource😂

Bookmark this one. You will use it😏

Just 2 weeks until we welcome 300+ beautiful humans home to Northern Michigan for the 2026 Vegan Wellness Retreat 🌿

5 days surrounded by nature, movement, healing foods, inspiring speakers, deep conversations, fitness, yoga, laughter, lake days, sunsets, music, connection, and community.

Yes, what you eat matters.
Yes, moving your body matters.
Yes, getting sunlight and spending time in nature matters.

But one of the most important things in this world is your people. Your community. Feeling understood. Feeling supported. Feeling like you belong.

That’s what makes this retreat so special.

So many people arrive not knowing anyone… and leave feeling like they found lifelong friends and a second family.

If you’re joining us this June, we cannot wait to welcome you home 💚

ALL NEW — We just added something extra special to the 2026 Vegan Wellness Retreat itinerary…

A special DURIAN TASTING WORKSHOP with the @fruithuntersco himself, Sal !

This incredible durian came all the way from Malaysia thanks to Lindsay @durianwriter . For those who have never tried premium Malaysian durian before… this is truly the BEST of the BEST — some of the highest quality durian in the world.

Creamy. Rich. Complex. Unlike anything most people in the U.S. have ever experienced.

We are beyond excited to bring this special tasting experience to Vegan Wellness Retreat 2026 and can’t wait for everyone to try it together!
