READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Welcome "Velkommen"! Reconnect and live healthier, longer! We warmly invite you to join us from Friday to Sunday to embark on a journey of rejuvenation at our inclusive and engaging Wellness Retreats. Have fun and relax while you discover the hidden rewards and benefits of a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. Explore key strategies to enjoying longer, more vibrant living as you immerse yourself in wellness discussions and activities inspired by our family's Scandinavian heritage (where hospitality, coziness "kos", and fresh air living "friluftsliv" are traditions) combined with cultural influences of the stunning Driftless Region in Southwestern Wisconsin.

 

Proudly woman-owned, veteran-owned, we welcome you to rejuvenate, relax, and rediscover your best self with us. Each retreat is customized and tailored for up to eight guests, ensuring every detail is crafted for a truly personalized experience. Sign up in groups of 2 with your bestie, mother, daughter, co-workers, or come solo to connect with like-minded people. Retreats are led by our dynamic mother-daughter duo: with our founder, Dr. Jodi, a seasoned physician with 30 years of expertise in wellness, and her daughter, AnaCapri, a new mom, along with an amazing team of helpers. Be our guest for an exclusive three-day, two-night adventure filled with engaging activities reflective of our unique local culture, wellness, and longevity principles. Treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation and fun!
​

Hosted by AnaCapri, a sixth-generation native of the Driftless Region, the retreat features interactive experiences with local experts. Immerse yourself in our health and wellness retreat, while relaxing in a destination nature setting!  Engage in physician-led educational wellness and longevity discussions while immersed in a nature-lover's paradise- surrounded by hundreds of acres of  scenic Driftless Region landscapes with ancient, unglaciated topography and gently rolling hills.

 

Embrace the essence of the Sweet Life, where healthy living, nature, and family take center stage. Enjoy delicious meals and the company of friends while staying in an elegantly renovated, historic farmhouse- all set against a breathtaking backdrop of panoramic views and vibrant local wildlife. Indoors, relax with thoughtfully curated bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and a multipurpose room for meetings, creativity, and formal dining. Outdoors, discover an orchard and grapevines, stroll thru a wildflower field surrounded by walking/hiking paths. Revitalize with yoga followed by the Nordic wellness tradition of sauna-cold plunge, or wake up early and enjoy a sunrise sauna session followed by a nature walk to cool off. At night get cozy by the outdoor fire pit while you stargaze. Experience the peace and tranquility of nature as you enjoy incredible sunrises and sunsets on the expansive grounds. Don't miss this opportunity to reconnect with friends, family, co-workers, yourself, and nature!
​

Unlock the secret entrance to "Esther's bookclub"- 1920's style! Bring some accessories or dress for a 1920's style party if you feel inclined. Follow subtle clues to the password hidden throughout the retreat with mindful messages, elemental rituals, and poetic riddles designed to help you discover our hidden sanctuary. As our present and curious guests, have fun practicing cognitive wellness and solve the clues to learn the password - and find the way in! There, we will celebrate with a refreshing, Wisconsin classic "Mocktail" demonstration and tasting.
​

Expect some exciting surprises! Itineraries are personalized for each retreat and subject to change based on seasonality and availability of products, reflecting the authenticity and excitement of this experience!
