The Wild Woman: Choose Your Path. Build Your Retreat. Do You Hear the Call of the Wild?

The Wild Woman Retreat is a curated Northern Michigan experience created for women to reconnect with intuition, creativity, rest, and the parts of themselves that everyday life can drown out.
Set among the woods and water near Cheboygan, the retreat blends chef-prepared meals, workshops, ritual, movement, self-discovery, tarot and intuitive practices, authors, wellness experiences, local makers, and time simply to breathe. Guests are invited to follow the path that speaks to them most through Oracle, Restoration, Becoming, or Wild Card, creating an experience that feels personal rather than prescribed.
Throughout the retreat, each woman builds her own grimoire, filling it with reflections, recipes, rituals, notes, intentions, discoveries, and pieces of the weekend she wants to carry home. From Terroir & Tarot and kitchen magic to wreath making, meditation, manifestation, sound, self-discovery, and evening experiences, every element is designed to feel immersive, thoughtful, and beaut

## About

Salt Smoke & Brine is a Michigan-based, family-run curated hospitality company founded by Head Chef and Owner Jen Biermann. Built from the beginning around the strengths of the people closest to her, the company has grown into a deeply personal collaboration where food, design, logistics, and hospitality come together with intention.
Jen leads the culinary
 vision, creating refined seasonal menus rooted in flavor, storytelling, and the emotional connection that happens around a shared table. Sous Chef Ryan Biermann brings precision, creativity, and a steady hand to the kitchen, helping shape each experience from preparation through the final course. Derek, Director of Operations & Logistics, is the backbone behind the scenes, managing the details, movement, setup, equipment, and problem-solving that allow each event to feel seamless.
Together, the team creates private dinners, weddings, destination events, retreats, and bespoke gatherings that feel intimate, layered, and entirely individual. Rather than working from a formula, Salt Smoke & Brine draws on each person’s strengths to create experiences that are thoughtful from every angle.
That philosophy extends beyond the kitchen. Salt Smoke & Brine also incorporates thoughtfully sourced vintage pieces, collected tableware, textiles, décor, and one-of-a-kind finds into its hospitality experiences, creating settings that feel storied, distinctive, and beautifully lived in.
At its core, Salt Smoke & Brine is a family company built around a shared love of food, beauty, gathering, and making people feel cared for. The result is hospitality that feels elevated without losing its warmth, personal without feeling informal, and memorable long after the table has been cleared.
