About Heartwood
Heartwood was purchased in October 2005 by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans to carry out and complement the organization's mission, demonstrating its core values in a unique way. Heartwood provides an experience of togetherness, learning, celebration and overall wellness for the benefit of Thrivent Financial members, the Lutheran community and nonprofit organizations in the Twin Cities and Fox Cities.
Heartwood features two large, central lodge facilities for group food service and meeting space with free high-speed DSL and wireless Internet connectivity. All of the buildings were built after 2000 except for the cottages, which have been renovated recently. The natural setting is perfect for corporate and church meetings and retreats, as well as family reunions, celebrations, weddings, personal vacations and more.
