Spring Healer's Retreat May 30 - June 2, 2025
Relaxation Retreat September 19-22, 2025
(we block out cabins on-line for spring retreat, so contact us directly for availability)
--------------------
Need a break? Here’s an excuse to get away for a weekend for some peace and quiet and to “hang out” with other like-minded folk. Only a scenic 3 hour drive north of the Twin Cities, soak in mother nature’s healing embrace to rejuvenate, gain some perspective, find some balance, and to get connected.
This is a very low key, relaxed retreat. We encourage you to do as little or as much as you'd like.
If you want to work on some inner issues and healing, we have a really supportive group to help you feel safe.
If you want to just have fun and chat and play with other like-minded individuals, this is a great opportunity.
If you simply want to do nothing at all but stare at a chipmunk trying to sneak into your cabin, hey, "more power to ya!"
All meals are on your own (bring food! cabins have fully equipped kitchens.)

KID POLICY: As you may have surmised, we are VERY kid-friendly here at the resort, but we wanted to let you know that for this special retreat, we schedule it on purpose the weekend after Memorial Day and before most schools are out for the summer to encourage a more adult atmosphere. By all means, bring the kids if you like, but please know that for this weekend only, the lodge arcade room will be shut down and the pool table will be covered and unavailable throughout the entire weekend (no exceptions). We ask that your kids avoid the lodge area, including the mini-carousel, shuffleboard court, snack counter, etc. while any group meditation or group class is going on so as not to disturb the participants. We hope that you will feel available enough to budget for some “you” time! Can’t wait to see you . . .

I Ching Readings - w/Amy Putkonen (The I Ching is an ancient Chinese oracle that makes suggestions based on the natural patterns going on in one's life at the time. These readings are often deeply personal, as the oracle is not accustomed to beating around the bush. I use the yarrow stick method, which takes more time but is the traditional way that these readings have been performed for thousands of years. My yarrow sticks were hand-picked, dried and cut for me by my husband, Eric, who made them for me - decades before he knew me - not realizing their true owner was his future wife. So they are blessed by love. Ideally, you would e-mail me you'd like a reading BEFORE retreat so I have the proper time to prepare. amyputkonen@gmail.com. $50/hour scheduled during retreat weekend for discussion on results)
