Retreat Overview:

Healthcare providers are exceptional at caring for others, often times at their own expense and health. Our one-of-a-kind self-care CME retreat for clinicians gives healthcare providers time to put their own oxygen mask on first. During this 3 day retreat, you will have time for self-care, restoration, relaxation, and learning. Find new joy and wellness in your life and work! We offer this retreat in partnership with the newly merged HealthEast/Fairview healthcare system to provide a unique and one of a kind continuing medical education retreat exclusively for healthcare providers.

What’s Included:

Registration cost is all inclusive and includes – basic lodging (upgrades available), 5-star meals prepared by renowned health and wellness chef, full-service beverages (including Dry Farm Wines and Bullet Proof Coffee), professional seminars, CME credits, activities, and on-site amenities.

“This is a Continuing Medical Education experience like no other!” – Christa Rymal

Every moment of each retreat is intentional and designed to care for you – body, mind, and soul. Your time at The Point will be filled with meaningful opportunities to experience and learn from sunrise to sunset. The day can start with yoga by the lake or functional exercises with our fitness team in the gym, followed by Listening to expert speakers in our main log lodge in your slippers and wrapped in a warm blanket. Afternoons will be spent in our Culinary Rx Cooking Classes where you will find time to converse, laugh, and cook with a community of adventurous learners, followed by time outdoors to enjoy a hike or taking time to relax in the sauna, and finally ending your day with a peaceful meditation by the fire.

The best part is you have unlimited access to the pristine lakes and towering trees surrounding The Point Retreats property and peninsula during your stay.

Spouses/Support Person:

We welcome and encourage spouses to attend this CME retreat! We have a number of Private King Suites just for couples. At our CME retreats, we hope your spouse will join you for every moment of learning and activities during your stay. It can be easier to embrace new experiences and information that lead to improved health when your loved one is learning alongside you.
