Amidst Nature's Breezes
ARISE & SHINE WELLNESS, LLC
Arise & Shine at The Light House
There's a vision in our hearts. For people to Arise & Shine at The Light House, a wellness campus offering retreats for rest, reflection and renewal; and to seekers, an exploration of healing, of purpose, and of rising. Amidst nature's breezes. We will offer more than typical retreats: clinical therapy by licensed professionals, workshops and seminars, concerts and live theater. Would you join us in our mission to open our doors? Donations are appreciated. Click to watch our Video to learn more.
Our Vision & Mission
The Light House exists within our souls.
As a sanctuary away from it all. Away from time clocks and traffic, office buildings and noise. It's a place where time will stand still.
​
Our tranquil setting will whisper healing, guiding souls to inner peace. It's a place where people will come stay awhile, then ease back into their everyday lives refreshed and renewed. And if they wish, a little more whole.

Why Come to The Light House?
Some will come just to have a good time. Others will come seeking wisdom or growth. Some will enjoy time away with friends, while others will come hoping to meet a few. Some will stay active from sunrise to nightfall. Others will savor quiet moments of reflection. Many will come because life has been hard. Some will know loss. Some hearts will be broken. Some of our guests will have lost their way.
​
Regardless of why people come, all who enter may find what they seek. Insight. Education. Excitement. Inspiration. Entertainment. Socialization. Solitude. Rest. Healing. Growth. Enhanced self-esteem. Healthier families. More balanced thoughts. Improved communication skills. Connection. And re-connection with others. Forgiveness. Freedom. Self-acceptance. Grace. Peace. Purpose. Passion. And glimpses of God.
What Makes The Light House Experience Unique?
The Light House will meet the unique needs of guests by offering individualized experiences that align with their interests, age, goals and desires.
There's a special place for those who enter The Light House as seekers - of human growth or spiritual renewal. Seekers of healing. Of cleansing. Of freedom - from chains of depression, anxiety, addiction, confusion. Chains from trauma, of purposelessness, or of inadequacy. Chains of sin, of darkness or shame. Chains of hopelessness.
​
This is where The Light House will shine!
​
Light House retreats will be much more than your typical retreat! With our holistic approach to healing and our commitment to personalized care, we will offer person-centered clinical therapy - both during retreats and to clients year-round.
Should guests wish to have counseling, they may choose: individual therapy, couples counseling, premarital counseling, family therapy and/or group sessions for like-minded concerns (e.g., self-esteem groups, addiction recovery groups, etc). Click here to learn more about our clinical practice & TRAVELING LIGHT seminars. A licensed clinical therapist will stand beside clients wherever they feel best served: near a babbling brook, perusing the woods, on a bench by the lake, or in the privacy of our naturesque offices.
The Light House will offer spiritual counseling, workshops and activities to foster deeper understandings of ourselves, of God and of our connection to the world around us.
Sharing Light & Giving Back
Our Commitment to Community Service
Our heart's desire and our mission is to serve hurting people. The Light House will host 3-5 day retreats for special groups: single parents, trauma survivors, hospice patients and their families, children and adults experiencing divorce, loss and grief, physical limitations, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bullying, harassment, individuals overcome by guilt or shame, and seekers of spiritual renewal. Guests in recovery from substance use and youth who are transitioning out of traditional foster care systems may remain our care for 3-6 months.
We look forward to opening the doors of the Light House, inviting guests to come stay awhile, and to arise and shine in the presence of our Light of the World.

Donations are sincerely appreciated.
Peace and Light,
