Presentation: Relinquishing the Reins: Ritual, Reflection, and the Practice of Letting Go

Julie Lesnik is an anthropologist, lifelong horse person, and founder of The Sanctuary School, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of working horses. Her approach brings together scientific observation, relational horsemanship, bodywork, and other ways of knowing to better understand horses and support their wellbeing.

Drawing on her anthropological understanding of ritual, Julie has developed practices that help her slow down, listen, and reflect on what she learns. While these practices grew out of her relationships with horses, the lessons extend beyond the barn, offering anyone an opportunity to find insight through deeper connections with the more-than-human world.

I’m a wife, mama of 3, and a multi-passionate entrepreneur. My husband and I have lived coast to coast, but these days you’ll find our family here in the beautiful UP.

My husband and I co-own our family’s sourdough wood-fired pizza truck, Basil & Banjo, and I wear a few other hats as a virtual assistant for a naturopathic Dr, Oliveda consultant, and busy Mom!

I’m passionate about natural, non-toxic living, whole-body wellness, spending time in nature, and creating in the kitchen.

Two years ago, I discovered Olive Tree People and fell in love not only with the products but with the heart behind the company. Today, I’m passionate about educating women on the importance of clean skincare, the connection between gut and skin health, and the power of intentionally caring for ourselves.

I’m excited to share what makes this innovative European company different and inspire women to feel confident in their skin while discovering a more holistic approach to beauty.

Presenter: Nitya Sri 

Organization: Northwoods Ayurveda & Integrative Care

Presentation: Intro to Ayurveda: Daily Routine

About the Presentation: Dinacharya, Ayurveda’s practice of daily routine, teaches us to align our habits with nature’s rhythms — restoring balance before illness ever takes root. In this class, we’ll explore foundational practices like rising before sunrise, tongue scraping, self-massage (abhyanga), and eating in tune with your unique constitution (dosha). You’ll leave with a simple daily rhythm rooted in a 5,000-year-old tradition of self-care.

With a Master’s in Psychology and ten years in private practice as a psychotherapist, I bring a deep understanding of the mind-body connection to my work. Six years ago, Ayurveda entered my life not as a professional pursuit but as a personal one — through my own healing journey, its wisdom transformed how I understood health, balance, and daily living. That experience continues to shape how I teach: with compassion, practicality, and respect for each person’s unique path. I’m honored to share the tools of dinacharya as both a clinician and a fellow traveler on this path toward wellbeing.

In this personal and interactive presentation, Rebecca shares how she rebuilt her self-trust while navigating a major life transition, and what she discovered along the way. Attendees will explore how we lose trust in ourselves, what it really means to trust yourself, and how small acts of self-respect, compassion, and aligned action can begin to rebuild that relationship.

Expect personal stories, reflection, and practical takeaways you can begin using in your own life.
