The Land

Seven acres of wetlands hold the Hidden Sanctuary — a rare pocket of true quiet just minutes from everything. Here, the hustle and bustle of the metropolis gives way to birdsong, moving water, and the particular pristine stillness that only comes from land left wild. It is the kind of quiet that is genuinely hard to find so close to a major metro, and to us, that is one of its biggest blessings.

The Sanctuary sits minutes from the edge of Lake Minnetonka, a short drive from downtown Minneapolis and everything the Twin Cities have to offer.

• Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP): ~20 miles, about a 25-minute drive

• Downtown Minneapolis: ~20-25 minute drive

• Lake Minnetonka: minutes away, with public beaches, marinas, and lake access

• Downtown Wayzata: boutique shops, lakeside dining, and everyday amenities, all close by

You can be fully immersed in wetlands and quiet, and still be a half hour from an international flight home. The space is a rare threshold between worlds, and we are honored to share it with you.

The Space

The Hidden Sanctuary was built to hold groups, ceremony, and rest all at once.

• Large group gathering space for workshops, ceremonies, retreats, and events

• Outdoor deck overlooking the wetlands, built for circle, for meals, for the in-between moments of a retreat that matter as much as the programming

• Waterfalls on the property, adding their own sound and presence to the land

• Sleeping accommodations for up to 10 in bedrooms, with total capacity for 20 guests overnight

• Amenities needed to host gatherings- for seating, meals, music, speaking or teaching classes

• Two healing offices for practitioners looking for office space

• COMING SOON- a food forest for the community to gather food and learn about regenerative urban gardening.

Whether you're planning a single-day workshop or a multi-night immersive retreat, the Sanctuary was built to hold both, and everything in between.
