Experience the Magic of Lilac Festival on the Iconic Island

Wandering Women Mackinac Island

June 4 - 8, 2027 | 4 Nights

Experience the Magic of Mackinac Island During Lilac Festival Week

Get ready for a step back in time with Wandering Women to an island without cars for unforgettable travel, inspiring connections and new experiences!

Join us for four unforgettable nights on beautiful Mackinac Island, where horse-drawn carriages replace cars, fragrant lilacs bloom throughout the island, and lifelong friendships are made.

During the island's famous Lilac Festival, we'll experience the very best Mackinac has to offer—from carriage rides through historic neighborhoods and visits to iconic landmarks to elegant dining, waterfront views, and plenty of time to explore at your own pace. Shop at unique stores and sample the finest homemade fudge.

We'll be staying at the historic Island House Hotel, one of the island's most beloved waterfront properties, located just steps from downtown shops, restaurants, and scenic harbor views.

Whether you're traveling solo or with a friend, you'll be welcomed into a warm community of women who love to explore, connect, laugh, and create lasting memories together.

And the best part? You don’t have to plan a thing — we’ve curated every detail for you.

"I loved both Amy and the women in the group. I knew only one of them before the retreat, and by the end I had created special friendships with each of them. That was beyond my expectations.”

-LEAH GOERKE

“My first trip with Amy was more than I hoped for. I don't think I have laughed and danced that much in a long time. I feel like I have made bonds with new people that will last a lifetime. Amy, I can't express enough how grateful I am to you for facilitating this incredible experience! You've been such an inspiration to me!”

Comments about previous trips with Amy

“I loved defining a new goal for myself and getting into action with Amy’s guidance. Having an opportunity to be with other women, away from home and Zoom, that want the same things as I do was incredible.”

“The group showed such love and support. It was an experience like no other.”

“I always feel Amy is available to support me. This retreat combined wonderful women, a great location and a unique program to help me reach my goal.”

“I loved the intentionality of the program and the authenticity of the interactions with both Amy and the women in the group. I knew only one of them before the retreat, and by the end I had created special friendships with each woman in the group. That was beyond my expectations.”

“This was my first retreat, and now I’m hooked. I look forward to being on Amy’s next retreat wherever and whenever it is.”
