This is our fourth year at Big Raven Farm, and each year this retreat becomes more special. This is a cozy, women’s weekend in the peaceful Driftless region of southeastern Minnesota, an easy drive from the Twin Cities, designed for rest, nourishment, and genuine connection. We spend our days enjoying delicious home-cooked meals, rejuvenative yoga practices in a beautiful renovated barn, and plenty of free time for naps, journaling, wandering the area, or laughing with new friends. There’s the option for a scenic group hike, a relaxed trip into town, and a choose-your-own craft or low-key games and puzzles. With a small group (about 14 guests), a beloved farm dog named Auggie, inspiring art, open landscapes, and a no-pressure vibe, it’s truly a retreat—not a boot camp. Some guests return year after year, and spots tend to fill quickly, so it’s a lovely opportunity if you’re craving space to slow down and be cared for.
