Meditation Retreats

Healing happens here. The Olive Branch, in Central Minnesota, is located on a very quiet, semi-private lake. The water soothes, especially since the motorized vehicles on the lake are few. We offer a fishing boat, pontoon, and canoes for getting out on the water. The quiet energy about the place stimulates meditation, reflection, and authentic conversation. A Chapel is on site and is ideal for deep thought. Our quiet corners are comforting and inviting. Inspirational literature is available in the library and scattered throughout the bedrooms. The Olive Branch, a place of peace, is somewhere to be quiet – or be heard.

What our guests say:

The Olive Branch is a unique and spiritual oasis. We laughed, cried, sang, worked, and played. The sacred space and peaceful relaxed surroundings were charming. The perfect scene for great personal introspection, creative idea generation and calm spiritual growth. Thank you for creating an oasis in the country! Namaste.  ~Julie

Thank you for having such a wonderful place for us all to come and spend time together. From 16-day-old baby girl to Nana and Papa, and special friends. This is our second time here. The first we came to grieve our dear 6-year-old N, this time to remember him and his adventurous spirit. I love this place! ~ Sally
