FAQ’s

We welcome women of all different backgrounds of faith to attend. You do not have to be a Christian to attend but yes, this is a Christian (non-denominational) event and all teaching sessions will be based on Christian content.

As Christian women who founded this retreat, please know that workshops that focus on spiritual health, materials or resources pertaining to spiritual health, and our keynote speaker’s messages will always be centered around the Christian faith and include biblically-sound teaching. We are very open to answering any questions you might have so please don’t hesitate to email: elizabeth@revivemnretreat.com

Women in all different seasons of life are welcome to join us! We have opened this retreat to women of all ages in various seasons of life because we feel that an multi-generational in-person gathering is powerful and so desperately needed in today’s world. We believe that we were created for community and that in-person relationships are the best way to thrive and flourish in any season of life.

In order to foster a peaceful, retreat-like environment, we welcome women around 18 years of age and older. This opportunity is meant to be an escape from your current reality of home, kids, work, etc. and why we only offer it as a day’s experience rather than an overnight. We hope that you feel refreshed and relaxed when heading home to baby (or whomever) at the end of the day! If you have a question or would like to request an exception, please email us directly and let’s chat!

We want to make sure that everyone is safe and offer healthy, nourishing food. Meals are catered by a licensed, local caterer and they will offer a gluten-free or vegetarian option. We do not cater to every individuals’ sensitivities but you may acknowledge a food allergy on your registration form and we will have a separate meal option available for you. You are also welcome to bring your own food!

Please wear comfortable clothing especially if participating in any of the exercise/movement sessions. This is meant to be a comfortable, relaxed setting. And bring layers! Whether the Spring Retreat or Winter Retreat, the MN weather is always unpredictable! You should be able to run out to your vehicle to grab anything additional whenever you need but dress warm, comfortably, and in layers.

Pack light - you will receive a gift bag upon registration so you can store any materials in there that you collect from the day. Feel free to bring a small notebook/journal, Bible, and/or something to write with.

Bring earbuds for the prayer walk to listen to worship music at each station.

Please refrain from wearing heavy perfumes, heavy bug spray, or heavy scents - we have many attendees allergic or sensitive to smells and want this to be a relaxing environment that doesn’t cause any serious reactions.

Consider LIGHT bug spray for the Spring Retreat. The venue does spray for bugs but if venturing through the Prayer Walk (outside), you may want something more.

Consider sunscreen for Spring Retreat.

If participating in the exercise/movement sessions for the Spring Retreat, bring your own exercise mat if you have one.

We are both an indoor + outdoor event! And the event will happen snow, rain, or shine! Please make sure that you dress appropriately and bring appropriate winter, rain, or spring gear depending on which retreat you are attending.

Spring Retreat: Bring an umbrella if it looks like rain (and wear waterproof boots or shoes!)! We offer both indoor and outdoor sessions. We also offer an outdoor prayer walk.

Winter Retreat: Wear boots, warm coats, and hat/mittens (winter outwear). We will still have an outdoor prayer walk and everyone will be participating in it! Dress in layers - you know the MN weather!

We welcome women 18+ to our event! We feel that an multi-generational experience is powerful and so needed in today’s culture so please know that there is something for every woman here no matter your age!

We will be sending an email the week before the event with a form for ladies to fill out their breakout session preferences. Please make sure you have given us your email address (or if your ticket was purchased by someone else that they will pass this info along to you). This will help us keep the sessions small and intimate. Once each session fills up, there will be other options like the prayer walk or free time that you can participate in. Each breakout is offered 3 times so there will be plenty of opportunities to attend your sessions of choice.

We recommend choosing one teaching/coaching session, one movement session, and one prayer walk session.

All tickets will be filed under the name of the purchaser. Please be sure you mention this name at Registration and you enter in the line for the last name of the purchaser of the ticket.

Yes! We always offer a light snack option in the afternoon and water bottles throughout the day. We also serve sparkling water with our meals.
