The retreat that started it all
Our flagship retreat returns to Michigan in 2027, bigger than ever. We book the entire camp, so for five days all 900 acres are ours — no other guests, no crowds. Join hundreds of like-minded people for five unforgettable days of wellness, adventure, education, and connection — with incredible WFPB meals and a one-of-a-kind plant-based community.
The filmmaker behind Cowspiracy, What the Health & Seaspiracy comes to Michigan — with a premiere showing of his brand-new documentary.
Rythm Health is bringing its mobile lab to Timber Wolf Lake this September, and 25+ biomarker bloodwork is included with every adult ticket. It’s the first vegan retreat Rythm has ever pulled up to.
It’s totally optional. But it’s free and painless, so why not get a baseline — then track your results from retreat to retreat? Know your numbers: test, don’t guess.

Real guests · real transformation
"I was amazed at how much was included. Delicious meals, fitness classes, cooking demonstrations, outdoor activities, incredible lectures, and plenty of time to relax and connect with others. It was worth every penny."
"What stood out most to me was the people. Everyone was welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely excited to be there. I made friendships that I know will last for years, and it reminded me how powerful a community can be."
"The speakers were phenomenal. I walked away with practical information that I could immediately apply to my health and my family's lifestyle. Every presentation was engaging, evidence-based, and incredibly motivating."

Evidence-based, always. Every VWR speaker is vetted for scientific rigor. Our education programming draws exclusively on peer-reviewed research — not trends, not opinions, not anecdote. That's the VWR standard.
We've partnered with Casa de Luz East — one of Austin's most beloved organic, whole-food, plant-based, oil-free kitchens, an institution people drive across Texas for. This isn't catering. We're bringing their kitchen, their chefs, and their standards to the retreat — cooking for every guest, at every meal.
Our head chef, Mario Fabbri, leads the kitchen — with Gabby Martinez, owner of Casa de Luz East, as his sous chef — together cooking five unforgettable days of food for every guest.
Every meal, every day — included with your ticket. Organic, oil-free, refined-sugar-free, 100% whole-food plant-based. Come hungry.
Head chef Mario Fabbri and sous chef Gabby Martinez of Casa de Luz East run both retreats — oil-free, refined-sugar-free, 100% whole-food plant-based, every meal included. Here’s what’s on the table every day; Michigan’s full five-day lineup is confirmed closer to September.
Sal hand-delivers thousands of pounds of just-picked exotic fruit to Timber Wolf Lake, chosen in season at peak ripeness. Expect fruit you may never have tried before.

Timber Wolf Lake has a full organic coffee & tea bar right on site, with its own cozy seating area. Lattes, cappuccinos, chai & organic teas alongside organic coffee — made with organic plant milks and natural sweeteners and served all retreat long. Grab your favorite drink, charge up between sessions and hang out with new friends.
Vacuum-blended smoothies, fresh-pressed juices, and scoopable banana ice cream — new for 2027, out all day long.
A melon bar in the mornings; a full fruit bar at lunch & dinner — tropical & non-tropical, chosen in season at peak ripeness.
Three cookies at every lunch; brownies, berry-filled cupcakes, strawberry cake & apple pie at dinner — all gluten-free.
Same standard as our Texas kitchen — 90%+ certified organic, oil-free and whole-food throughout. Michigan’s full day-by-day menu is posted closer to September. See the Texas menu →
Running the VWR kitchen at both 2027 retreats — Los Angeles vegan private chef, TEDx speaker, and host of Trying Vegan with Mario. Expect live food demos, big flavors, and every meal feeling like an event.
Owner of Casa de Luz East, joining our kitchens at both 2027 retreats as sous chef to head chef Mario Fabbri — cooking for every guest, every day.
