Dear Friends of ARC
On October 31, 2025, the ARC Retreat Community property in Stanchfield Minnesota became the Ainsley Sutton Retreat Center and Lodge.
The new owners offer a variety of retreat experiences ranging from total solitude and silence in the hermitage to an exclusive stay in the lodge.
Retreats reserved prior to October 31, 2025 are being honored. New retreats can be scheduled through Shontel by phone at 763. 689. 3540 or by email at
ARC Retreat Community, the non-profit business organized in 1972 by Ruth Halvorson, continues to exist under the leadership of its current board of directors to advocate, educate, and support the ministry of retreat.
