As a girl, she was all about freedom and movement, and that mysterious place where strength meets balance. At Augsburg College she coached youth soccer and tapped a little deeper into the roots of what her dreams were. Working toward her Masters degree at University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Laree realized how drawn she was to leadership. Compelled by the fierce magic that happens when communities get to drive their own collective future, Schouweiler knew the rest of her life would need to continually flirt with intuition, big picture ideas, creativity, and meeting people where they are through movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When she found herself in Decorah to support her spouse\u2019s professional track, Laree decided it was time to put her body, brain, and values to work. She launched yoga-cycling outfit Reefuel, which she operated with contagious zest until she ultimately decided to close as she braced for her third child during the COVID pandemic. Laree\u2019s been focused on teaching remote classes, hosting smaller outdoor special group sessions, and expanding the Driftless Yoga Festival since.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As Schouweiller juggles three young children and her own dreams and goals, she continuously engages with the cognitive and emotional labor around critical social issues of equity and justice. The Driftless Yoga Festival happens in the Decorah, Iowa river valley each June over\/around the summer solstice and is a three-day long event that features nationally recognized yoga &amp; wellness facilitators centered on yoga, equity, and nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8216 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/People-Of-The-Driftless-Laree-Schouweiler-Pic-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/People-Of-The-Driftless-Laree-Schouweiler-Pic-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/People-Of-The-Driftless-Laree-Schouweiler-Pic-2-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Personal Interest<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">How would you describe yourself?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Oy.

(positively or negatively)<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After the completion of our first festival in 2019, I knew it wasn\u2019t enough to just host an event that would bring folks together to spotlight the Driftless region. The momentum of the festival, feedback from participants and my craving for something greater drew me to Asheville\u2019s Yoga Festival in July 2019 in an effort to research what else DYF could be. It was there I met Michelle C. Johnson, author of Skill in Action &amp; anti-racist trainer, who would spotlight my limited understanding of ways wellness spaces aren\u2019t made available for every body. Following my short time with her, I reached out to book her for a future festival and we landed on 2021. How far away that seemed at the time\u2026<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Upon returning to the Driftless, I had a new found vision for the festival and began moving forward with the creation of the 2020 event. The schedule was lining up with local and regional presenters, I was working with Driftless businesses to use their working spaces as a way to get folks to support their brick &amp; mortars and ticket sales were showing folks were excited about it for a second year! Things were progressing; that is until March 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I don\u2019t need to tell you all the nitty gritty details, but I will share DYF didn\u2019t walk away unscathed in 2020 from the impact of the pandemic and cancellation of our event. However, not all was lost. The cancellation of the festival allowed time to grieve. It opened the opportunity to find space for greater awakening of the injustices not just happening in wellness spaces, but also across the globe. It provided time to evaluate and evolve. It allowed space to process the internal inquisition of \u201cWhat\u2019s ahead?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What is another name you would give the Driftless?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What is your favorite season in the Driftless &amp; why?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There is so much to do here year round, but summer is especially my favorite because of the ability to literally walk out the door and be in the beauty with unlimited options of ways to move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tell us of an experience \/memory you had with Driftless lakes, rivers or waterways?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Running alongside the Upper Iowa!
