It will likely still be 
like winter along Lake Superior’s shores! But never fear! Beauty, wonder, and awe are here by the lake and in the woods. Our agenda will allow for personal time to explore the luxurious Wild Rice Retreat. Check out the campus lodgings. Note the cedar Sauna Haus and luxurious Rain Room. It’s the perfect spot to unplug from life and nourish your holistic well-being. Remember: There’s no such thing as bad weather…only bad clothing. – Scandinavian Adage

Still not sure? Consider these questions…
- Do you feel overwhelmed by the pace and load of work life?
- Are you experiencing a change or transition in life that leaves you unsettled?
- Are you considering cutting your work hours or changing jobs?
- Do you find it hard to fall asleep because of racing mind?
- Do you check your phone immediately upon waking? Is it with you at the dinner table? Do you receive and respond to business emails or texts after work?
- Do you eat meals at your desk or in your car?
- Do you lack a clear vision of a version of your life that is deeply satisfying?
- Do you rely on coffee or other beverages or foods for quick energy?
- Do you depend on other drinks or food to decompress after a hard day?
- Do you feel uncomfortable with nothing to do?
