Winter’s Here. So are we.

Winter has a way of testing us in Minnesota. This winter is testing us like never before.

The Lake Street Council condemns the federal immigration actions happening in our community along the Lake Street corridor and throughout Minneapolis. We highly encourage all individuals to know their rights.

This winter, there are many reasons to stay home. There are many ways to show up for Lake Street. And when we show up, we remind each other that this place is alive.

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
