Ways to Gather

Choose the retreat experience that fits your gathering.

Every group comes to Butterfly Lake with a different purpose. Whether you're planning an intimate leadership retreat or gathering a group of up to 20 guests, Butterfly Lake offers three intentional retreat experiences. From focused day retreats and breakout conversations to overnight stays where relationships and ideas deepen naturally, each experience is designed to help your group focus, connect, and move important work forward.

Gather for the Day

A full day of focused work, important conversation, and unhurried connection.

Some of the most meaningful work happens when people step away from the office and into a space designed for focus and connection. Gather for the Day offers exclusive daytime access to Butterfly Lake, creating an environment where ideas can develop, relationships can strengthen, and important conversations have room to unfold.

Whether you're leading a strategic planning session, board retreat, facilitated workshop, coaching session, or creative gathering, you'll have the time and privacy to work intentionally, without feeling rushed.

Includes:

Exclusive use of The Gathering Place
Daytime access to the surrounding outdoor gathering spaces

Beyond the Meeting

More space. More flexibility. More room for intentional conversations.

When your retreat benefits from additional room to spread out, Beyond the Meeting includes daytime access to the Cedar House. Create comfortable breakout spaces, prepare meals together in the full kitchen, or simply enjoy the freedom to move naturally between focused work and relaxed conversation. It's an ideal option for larger groups or gatherings that benefit from multiple meeting spaces.

The Signature Retreat

The complete Butterfly Lake Sanctuary experience.

Slow down, stay together, and let the retreat continue beyond the agenda. With exclusive overnight access to the entire property, your group has the freedom to share meals, gather around the fire, enjoy quiet mornings, and make the most of uninterrupted time together.
