Question 1

Will there be free time to get a massage at the spa, sit by the lake or go for a nature hike?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You're welcome to schedule a massage before checking in on Friday, or take advantage of the open self-care window from 2–5 PM on Saturday. This is your time to relax by the lake, enjoy quiet reflection, or receive prayer and encouragement from one of our team members. 
This retreat was intentionally designed with extra space in the schedule so you can slow down, reflect deeply, and leave feeling refreshed—body, mind, and spirit. Call Glacial Waters Spa to book your appt. 218-963-8700

Question 3

Can I use this retreat as a business expense?

Accepted Answer

Possibly! If you are a business owner or entrepreneur and the retreat supports your professional development—such as providing clarity, rest, strategic visioning time, or tools that help you show up more effectively in your work—it may qualify as a deductible business expense. However, every situation is unique, so I always recommend checking with your tax professional or accountant to determine what’s appropriate based on your business and current tax laws.

Question 4

Can I come alone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many women come on their own and leave with new friendships. This is a safe, welcoming space designed for connection, reflection, and personal growth—whether you come solo or with a friend. We look forward to meeting you and pouring love into you over the weekend.
