Event Details

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a member at your favorite Leelanau Peninsula winery? What if you could enjoy membership at all the wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail?
During our annual Harvest Days event, locals, visitors, and existing wine club members alike, can experience how it feels to receive exclusive benefits at all the wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail.
All September long, and for only $35 per person, participants can take advantage of the exclusive wine club benefits unique to each winery. Benefits include everything from complimentary flights and tastings, to case discounts and more!
Harvest Days provides ticket holders with a casual yet elevated experience, allowing guests to plan a leisurely visit on their own schedule, instead of being locked into a single weekend.
The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail is hosts over 20 different wineries with each tasting room offering its own unique experience, from pure elegance with unparalleled views to cozy nooks loaded with charm. Whatever your preference, you’re sure to find a wine you love on the trail, with a wide variety of red and white wines and ciders, including dry, sweet, sparkling, and still.

NOTICE:
**While each ticket holder can travel along the peninsula at their own pace, reservations are highly recommended and may be required for larger groups, as space at each winery is limited. To enjoy full service at individual wineries beyond the scope of the ticketed event, such as wine by the glass, bottle service, additional flights, food, etc, reservations are again highly encouraged and may be required.**

**Tickets for this event are non-transferable, and attendees must be prepared to show a valid, government-issued photo ID at each winery. Tickets and glasses are available to be picked up at whichever winery you choose to begin. Simply provide proof of your purchase, and your adventure begins!**

Then join us for our annual Halloween event every fall! The Farmer for the Ghost Farm is always digging up new frights for the best-haunted house attraction in Northern Michigan. See you this October for some screams!
The Ghost Farm digs up scare actors to incite fear in its guests. This theatrical and terror-inducing haunted trail is one of the best-haunted attractions in Northern Michigan! But it only operates 10 days every fall and serves as a major fundraiser for local children’s organizations.

This admission is good for the Ghost Farm Haunted Trail attraction where our Scare Actors will SCARE you. This starts just after dusk.

You can come out for our Dusk Walk (starts promptly at 7:15pm) for any guest that would like to enjoy a haunted house without the actors scaring you.

Event Details

Fall is just around the corner… time to start thinking about the Fall Session of MBSR – Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Classes; sponsored by Northern Michigan Psychiatric Services, PC and the Mindfulness Center of Northern Michigan, LLC. Teen class begins Wednesday, September 27th and adult class begins Thursday, September 21st

Reduced Rates/Financial Assistance is ALWAYS AVAILABLE and can be accessed on the registration page: Registration is now open at: www.mindfulnesstc.com or call 231-342-9634 for more information. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

MBSR is an evidence-based, well -researched program that offers secular intensive mindfulness training to assist people with a host of stress-related physical, emotional and psychological conditions. Along with ongoing practice throughout the week, this class trains attention and cultivates awareness, providing one with positive coping tools needed to become strong and resilient in both body and mind.

MBSR is a psychoeducational and highly experiential in nature. In addition to didactic teaching, classes are interactive and dynamic, using a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, yoga and the exploration of patterns of behavior, thinking, feeling and action. The MBSR program helps us become aware of our habitual patterns of reacting and the self-agency to interrupt this cycle and create more choice in our life. MBSR offers us the potential to relate to ourselves, our experiences and the world around us with fresh perspectives and in new and more meaningful ways.

This is a hybrid class being offered both in-person and online via Zoom and each MBSR session includes:

An Orientation (1 hour)

8 – MBSR Class Sessions (2 ½ hours ea.)

Full Day Silent Mindfulness Retreat

Free Online Guided Meditations

MBSR was founded by Jon Kabat Zinn in 1979 out of the University of Massachusetts. Since then, there has been a tremendous amount of research coming out of U-Mass, Harvard, Brown, UCLA, Stanford, UW-Madison and numerous other institutions around the world providing insight into, not only how MBSR positively benefits the body and mind, but also how it changes the structure and function of the brain through positive neuroplasticity.

This evidenced-based practice, deeply rooted in psychology, science and Far Eastern practices, has over 40 years of research and neuroscience demonstrating the profound ability to positively impact the health and well-being of body and mind. Over 1000 studies have shown that regular practice and mindful living can enhance attention, focus and memory, decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, decrease self-harming and addictive behaviors, increase emotional stability and balance, improve mood and optimism, improve communication, social and relational skills, decrease the risk for disease, and reduce symptoms of diseases of both body and mind – enhancing overall immunity.

You will find a plethora of this research at the American Mindfulness Research Association www.goamra.org

Viktor Frankl, a Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, explains how mindfulness teaches us to pause and bring moment to moment awareness to our thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations in the face of unpleasant stimuli; permitting us to calmly choose to respond thoughtfully instead of simply reacting habitually to life’s inevitable challenges. Most of us, are unaware of this space “between stimulus and response” because we get caught in our habitual patterns of reacting to life.

“Between stimulus and response there’s a space, in that space lies our power to choose our response, in our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Victor Frankl
