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 - Feel free to bring your own bag for the day and 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.

You are also welcome to bring your own food!

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!
