ARC Retreat Community is a nonprofit hospitality organization that operates a retreat center offering spaces for reflection, rest, and spiritual renewal. Located in Stanchfield, Minnesota, the center provides a quiet environment for individuals and groups to slow the pace of life, engage in silent meditation, and deepen connections with themselves, others, and the spiritual or universal dimension. Its facilities include a log lodge, a private hermitage, and a cottage, all set within ninety acres of wetlands and woodlands that feature trails and a labyrinth for walking meditation, with additional options such as spiritual direction, reiki, and therapeutic massage by advance arrangement. The center emphasizes homemade meals, inclusive dietary accommodations, and environmentally conscious practices, while also supporting solitude and quiet contemplation as well as opportunities for writers and artists to focus on their craft. ARC envisions a transformed world through healthy, loving relationships among people and with the earth, positioning itself within the hospitality and wellness landscape as a small, nonprofit retreat venue dedicated to rest, renewal, and personal growth.
