We will be staying at beautiful Big Raven Farm, a 15-acre retreat center in the heart of the Driftless region, where Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa meet.

Featuring 6 guest rooms that sleep 14+, a 1200 square foot event center and yoga studio, an 800 square foot ballroom that accommodates 60, a commercial kitchen, and a 2-mile walking trail, we are conveniently located only 2½ hours from Minneapolis-St. Paul, Madison, and Dubuque.

All of the meals and snacks are made in the commercial kitchen at Big Raven Farm. The owners, Darin and Joleen hold culinary certifications: Darin spent a year in Bangkok training with chef Danielle Kattan, and Joleen has earned a Baking Certificate from the Culinary Institute of America—Hyde Park, New York.

Big Raven Farm does not serve soda or alcohol but we do make sure that water, coffee, brewed iced tea and sugar-free Arnold Palmers are available all day long. You will have a happy belly — the food is divine and abundant!

Breakfast items commonly served: house-made granola, Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, sour cream coffee cake, cranberry oatmeal bake, avocado toast made with farm-fresh bread and freshly laid eggs, spinach quiche, hashbrown egg bake, baked French toast, cornmeal-dusted waffles, turkey sausage, banana bread, strawberry muffins. (Varies by season and the whims of our cooks and bakers.)

Dinners at Big Raven Farm are designed to be the perfect end to a remarkable day. Some guest favorites include: turkey cranberry chili with cornbread, chicken wild rice soup with Parmesan focaccia, spinach lasagna with salad & rustic house-made bread, asparagus ham fusilli, and creative, gourmet pizzas such as BBQ chicken, cheeseburger, and arugula and prosciutto. Desserts include blueberry plum upside-down cake, black bean brownies, rhubarb crisp, butterscotch chocolate chip cake, Earl Grey pound cake with lemon curd, and spicy mango oatmeal bars.

Like the postal service, we deliver regardless of snow or rain or heat or gloom of night. We wish we could provide refunds due to inclement weather, but so much of the work that goes into our events occurs before the event even begins — cooking, cleaning, linens, setup, prep, etc., and most of it — especially the cooking and meal prep — simply won’t carry over to the next event. As they say, the show must go on.

Our home belongs to the pets we already have… chickens and our beloved family dog, Auggie. Thanks for understanding.

If you don’t have current pelvic or sexual concerns, you are still SO welcome at Satisfy. Consider it preventative care and self-care—a weekend of deep rest, great food, and pampering.

Our themes and practices offer a nourishing, uplifting experience for all, whether you come with specific questions or simply want to enjoy this retreat in great company. When women come together from all walks of life we learn a lot from each other.

Yes. This is so important to Cheri and the group. Thanks for asking.

We will abide by group guidelines that center owning our present experience, compassionate witnessing without judgment or advice giving/cross talk, and trusting and tending to our needs as they arise.

Practices will be offered in stages (titration) with many options available. Any partner work/touch will be optional. We will NOT be ‘working trauma’ by sharing histories - our focus is on healing and LIVING.
