Some places are just different. They hold a magic you can’t quite explain—a feeling that wraps around you when you arrive, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeper, and feel truly cared for.
Big Raven Farm is one of those places.
Nestled in the breathtaking Driftless Region of Minnesota, our retreat center is a sanctuary for self-care, creativity, and connection. But unlike traditional getaway spots, we aren’t open for casual visits—the only way to experience Big Raven Farm is by joining one of our 30 retreats in 2025.
Whether you come for yoga, art, cooking, crochet, or even tarot, you’ll find yourself in a space designed to nourish your mind, body, and soul.
