Team Retreat 2026: A little learning, a little relaxation, and a LOT of laughing!
We traded our usual routine of babies, birth tubs, and charting for a couple of days of team time, and it did not disappoint!
We started things off doing what midwives do best (besides catching babies 😉)... practicing our skills and preparing for the unexpected! We loved having some fellow community midwives join us for emergency drills and training. Such a great opportunity to learn together and strengthen those connections!
Then we headed to New Ulm, where the agenda got a little less serious.
Lunch, yoga and acupuncture at The New Ulm Wellness Collective , a floral class at A to Zinnia Floral And Gifts (turns out midwives are pretty good at making fall wreaths, too!), a cozy soup supper, card games, campfire conversations, and plenty of s'mores.
And because apparently we can't just sit still, we wrapped things up the next morning with coffee and a beautiful fall hike.
There was lots of laughing, a little friendly competition, some much-needed relaxation, and plenty of time just enjoying each other's company.
We spend a lot of time together caring for families, navigating unpredictable schedules, and showing up for each other when things get busy. It was so good to have a little time away to simply be friends, have fun, and recharge.
Turns out we really do like hanging out together... even when we're not getting paid to.
Feeling pretty grateful for this crew and the work we get to do together!
