Re Enchantment
Announcing 2025 retreat dates soon.
Invest in one of the most important relationships of your life
Are you and your partner wishing to enhance your relationship? Do you find yourself wishing there was more? Or are things going well and you want it to continue, and evolve into more connection?
We will focus on key relationship areas of communication, connection, emotional safety/vulnerability, and intimacy. Our goal will be to give you the framework, the tools, and to walk with you for the first steps down the path of relationship re enchantment.
If you and your partner long to bring the magic and wonder back to your relationship, this experience is for you.
Here's what you can expect:
Education
You will learn the stages of our adult relationships and where disconnections and intersections inevitably appear; how to process, heal, and move through those transitions.
Support
Our approach is non-pathologizing and supportive. You only share what you are moved to share and our group will create a space full of trust, confidentiality, and support.
Experience
Throughout the weekend you will have opportunities to practice what you are learning with your partner. The breaks will allow for additional time for processing, rest, and enhanced connection.
Fun
Wild Rice Retreat is amazing and you will relish the comfort, amenities, food, and more. You may connect with others or venture off on your own. Anything goes and we promise you will feel nourished and rejuvenated when you leave.
Wild Rice Retreat
The ideal re enchantment venue
Nestled amongst the hugging pines and lapping waters of Lake Superior outside Bayfield, Wisconsin, Wild Rice is a vibrant resort destination founded on the pillars of nourishment, expression, and movement.
Realizing the desire for holistic experiences immersed in nature, Wild Rice created a haven for peace and connection.
Dina Clabaugh
Dina Clabaugh, LICSW, is the founder of Insight Counseling in Duluth, MN. For the past decade, Dina has been practicing psychotherapy with special interests in attachment, connection, neuroscience, and the intimate partner bond. She has studied Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Cultural Theory (RCT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and IMAGO Theory. She is influenced by the works of Esther Perel, Terry Real, and Peter Fraenkel. And Elena Brower will forever be her favorite yoga and meditation teacher.
By supporting couples Dina feels she is also indirectly (or directly) supporting the whole family system. Our individual wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around us mirror the quality of our intimate partner relationship. It matters.
Like anything we do in life, practice makes perfect. While relationships will never be perfect, with skilled direction and authentic support, Dina believes couples can experience the revolutionary sensations of full aliveness, joyful relaxation, and wonder. They discover re enchantment.
Michael Clabaugh
Michael Clabaugh, LGSW, MA, MSW, is a couple therapist practicing at Insight Counseling in Duluth, MN.
Michael sees relationships as the place we go as adults for comfort, solace, validation and as a place where our most vulnerable parts can be seen and held. Because it is two people each seeking this deep love, this intense relationship is also a crucible and struggle. Freud said, "We are never so open to suffering as when we love." The relationship either breaks or stagnates. Or, it grows and blossoms as each confronts the challenge to grow and to become the person that a relationship ultimately requires of us. "I am I because you are you; you are you because I am me. Therefore I am not me and you are not you."
Michael holds degrees from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Harvard, and The College of St. Scholastica. Michael is Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Level 1 trained in clinical hypnosis by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH); he is an avid student of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), David Schnarch, and IMAGO Relationship Therapy.
