The retreat
you can actually
get to.

A private, membership-based urban retreat.

An original house from 1900 with a communal kitchen, dining space, and gathering room. Four cabins, a movement studio, an art loft, a working garden — built around lunar rhythm and seasonal gathering. A place to both just be and to get away from it all — right around the corner.

The Place

A 1900 house on a corner lot.
The third-space we have all been needing — a return.

We have lost something. Not access to nature — nature is everywhere — but access to each other within it. The urban retreat. The third space that isn't a coffee shop or a gym. The place where you make something with your hands, eat at a long table, walk a garden path, and remember what it feels like to be unhurried.

Chez 600 is a private, membership-based retreat on the corner of Hartford and Saratoga in Saint Paul. A 1900 house, four private retreats, a movement studio, an art loft, a working garden, and a community anchored by lunar rhythm and seasonal gathering.

This is not a coworking space. It is not a spa. It is the living ecosystem your life has been missing — and it is five minutes from where you already are.

Six spaces.
One living system.

01

The Main House

A 1900 home at the center of everything. Communal kitchen, long dining table, and a lounge anchored by a mural of the forest. This is where the community eats, gathers, and exhales.

Est. 1900
02

The Retreats

Four private ADUs on the property. Stay for a night or a weekend. Available for member overnight stays and pre-sale retreat experiences. Your own quiet corner of the grounds.

03

The Movement Studio

A heated ground-floor space for tai chi, qigong, yoga, and meditation. Programming follows the season — slower in winter, expansive in summer. Instruction and open practice both welcome.

Tai chi · Yoga · Meditation
04

The Art Loft

The upper floor of the garage is a communal creation space. Pottery wheels, easels, drawing stations. Come to make something. Come to make nothing. The point is the practice.

Pottery · Canvas · Drawing
05

The Garden

Member plots alongside shared production beds. Planted and tended by the biodynamic calendar. What grows here feeds the table. What you grow here feeds you.

Biodynamic · Seasonal
06

The Bathhouse

Four bathroom stalls and four showers — the shared service facilities for the ADU retreat cabins. A future Hot House Hammam is part of what comes next, shaped by the founding circle.

The house keeps a rhythm.
Come find yours.

"This house has always had a rhythm. Monday smells like something good. Wednesday sounds like a cork. Friday moves. I've been keeping time here longer than anyone — come find yours." — Hazel Wise

Unscheduled. The week needs a breath.

The named programs above are the heartbeat of the week. Friday Flow (5–10 pm) and Sundays are open to every member regardless of rhythm — the two communal pulses of the week, one at each end of the day. The other days follow each member's chosen rhythm. Read more on the Build the Village page.

Three doors
into the founding circle.

Thirty seats. Three ways in — one for each kind of contribution this place asks for. Founders pledge capital and seat the Board of Directors. Builders apply with their craft and hold a corner of the house. Circle members join the community that brings the house to life every week. Three verbs. Three different relationships with the place.

Builders

$10K–25K, or $5K + in-kind

8–12 seats · You apply

Cornerstone members — bodyworkers, gardeners, writers, poets, makers, teachers — whose craft holds a corner of the house. Being a Builder is not a title. It is a role.

$2,500 founding fee

Up to 12 seats · You join

Pre-sale experiences fund the buildout and give early guests the first access. Redeemable once Chez 600 opens. No expiration.

Seasonal Anchor Dinner

A long table dinner at the solstice or equinox. The full house, the full garden, a meal built from what the season offers. This is the heartbeat of Chez 600.

Overnight Retreat

One night in a private retreat ADU. Access to the grounds, the movement studio, the art loft. Breakfast from the house kitchen. No agenda required.

Lunar Event Experience

An evening gathering tied to the lunar calendar — a full moon fire, a new moon meditation, a harvest night supper. Small group, intentional, unforgettable.

$95 / person

The year has a pulse.

The Long Table

The longest day. The longest dinner. The garden at full force.

Fall Equinox

The Harvest Supper

Everything the season grew, on one table, under one roof.

Winter Solstice
