Badass women + nutrient dense delish food + a gorgeous geodesic dome = an epic babe dinner

Picture this: 10 women cozy around a gorgeous flower-filled table in a geodesic dome. Candles. Sunset. Delicious food.

You have the space to treat yourself with truly healthy, nourishing food, connect with new like-hearted women and savor the present moment.

Our food will be curated by Minnesota native chef Nettie with attention to healthy saturated fats (no seed oils!), organic, regeneratively farmed (grass fed + finished) meat sourced from local farmers, and the freshest ingredients sourced from the farmer’s market that morning.

FAQs

  • The lodge is in Cotton, Minnesota which is about 3 hours from MSP International Airport. We recommend flying in to MSP and carpooling up :)

  • You will be responsible for getting to the lodge, but once you are there you will not need a car. We will help facilitate carpooling with the participants.

    If you wanted to stick around a little bit and go see Lake Superior (the largest freshwater lake in the world!) you would want a car. Duluth / Lake Superior is about 45 minutes away from Cotton.

  • August will be 50-60 at night and 75-80 during the day. Minnesota is quite humid, so we will enjoy the pond big time! We can get summertime thunderstorms, so a rain jacket might be nice. We’ll have a better sense once we get closer :)
