Hackmatack Retreat: Time Out for Time In

Hackmatack Retreat: Time Out for Time In check us out @ www.hackmatackretreat.com The land is native prairie with a winding slow river, ponds, 200+-year-old oaks, and big sky.

The mission of Hackmatack Retreat is to provide an accessible space that becomes the physical container for deep wisdom teachings and heart-centered, transformative work. Hackmatack Retreat Center in Richmond Illinois (bordering Wisconsin) sits on almost 30 acres of protected land in the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge in the heart of the Midwest. With countless places to enjoy the silence and

meditate, gathering spaces for group work, and writing nooks and crannies indoors and out, Hackmatack seeks to offer “time out for time in” amidst this noisy world. Only five minutes from two small towns with all the amenities needed, and within an hour or so of major airports of O’hare, Midway, Milwaukee, or Rockford, Hackmatack is all about ease. We’re also 15+ minutes from the world-class historic resort town of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. We host retreats and on a case-by-case basis offer Hackmatack for others to use for their retreats.

Rain on 30 acres of protected forest. Come hear it from the inside.

The kind of quiet you can only find when rain is doing all the talking.

This is what slowing down sounds like.

This little one didn't book a cabin.

But they did find 30 acres of protected forest, native prairie, a slow-winding river, and 200-year-old oaks, and decided to stay.

Some things know where they belong.

Hackmatack Retreat sits two hours from Chicago in the heart of the Midwest. It's a place to slow down, go inward, and let the land do some of the work.

Two hours from Chicago. A world away from everything else.

Even the forest floor is doing the work.

Growth happens in the quiet, in the dark, in the unexpected places.

Your cabin is waiting.

The river doesn't hurry. Neither should you.

Nearly 30 acres of native prairie, ancient oaks, and open sky, just outside Richmond, IL, just two hours from the city.

Hackmatack Retreat is a place to exhale, to listen, and to remember what matters. A non-denominational, radically welcoming space where transformation happens quietly.

Come as you are.

You keep saying you need a break.

This is what a break actually looks like.

30 acres of protected refuge land, a river that moves slower than your Monday morning, and a light-filled cabin an hour outside Chicago waiting to hold all of it.
Come see what quiet feels like.

Plot twist: the most productive one on the property isn't a guest. 🦫

This little builder called Hackmatack home long before we did, and honestly? He gets it. Slow down. Create something sturdy. Live close to the water.

The Glass Cabin is your light-filled escape on nearly 30 acres of protected forest in Richmond, IL, just an hour from Chicago.

There's a particular kind of quiet that greets you here, the kind that exists before the world remembers it needs something from you.

Coffee warming your hands. Old oaks holding the sky. Just you, the light, and 30 acres of protected forest doing exactly what they were always meant to do.

This is the glass cabin at Hackmatack. Two hours from Chicago. A lifetime away from everything else.
