just 30 minutes east of Minneapolis.

Conversation transforms.
But music moves you forward…faster.
Step inside the Schoolhouse Sessions…
This spring, an intimate circle will gather inside a restored 1859 schoolhouse, hidden deep in the woods. A place where the walls still hum with curiosity, the chalkboards remember a thousand questions, and every creak of the floorboards tells a story.
Here, learning isn't about getting the answers ‘right’. It's about leaning in: to reflection, discovery, and the voice inside you that could change your life.
By invitation or application only, these concierge evenings are designed for the boldly curious. The ones who crave meaningful conversation, unexpected insight, a great mocktail — and the evocative power of a perfectly chosen song.
A handful of guests gather round a vintage turntable. Three-hand picked records crackle. This isn’t a listening party. We listen…consciously. Each song curated to stir something real: a memory, a feeling, a belief you didn't know you were carrying.
Evocative questions emerge, based on those in the room.
Together, we'll explore the big themes of what it means to be human, through music and conversation that challenges your status quo, surrounded by the enduring spirits of this one-room schoolhouse.
Playful, immersive, and thoughtfully imagined, the Schoolhouse Sessions are designed to unlock forward motion: fresh clarity; stunning perspective; deeper connections; your next empowered step forward. Homework you can’t wait to do.
(And yes, you can even ring the bell.)
Ready to join us?
Like a sound check before a concert, we first make sure we’re all in tune.
Everyone who joins the Schoolhouse Sessions applies with a 15-minute call with me, your host, Bethany. With my compliments, we’ll get into your world for a moment. And if it’s a vibe,
your private session contributes to shaping the evening itself. The central theme, and the songs chosen to carry it, are drawn from everyone in the room.
So on the day, the energy is right, the people are your people — and we can all play, together.
Why Music?
Because music gets us there faster.
When we’ve thought ourselves in circles, music opens a portal to new possibilities. It bypasses the need to explain and brings us straight into what’s real. A single song can surface a memory, shift a mood, or say the thing we didn’t yet know how to say.
When we listen together, we’re not just hearing music—we’re stepping into something shared. And in that shared space, conversations deepen naturally.
There’s a reason we remember lyrics decades later, why a melody can stop us in our tracks. Music doesn’t just entertain us, it reveals something deeper inside us that’s waiting to escape.
And from there, the real conversation begins.
