A Taste of Denmark
3030 West River Parkway
Minneapolis, MN 55406

Why are Danes said to be the happiest people in the world?  Certainly, it’s their culture. But it’s also an emphasis on lifelong learning – a tradition carried forward from the very first Folk School, founded in Denmark in 1844. Nestled on 1.5 park-like acres in Minneapolis overlooking the Mississippi River, the new Danebo Folk School features exquisite natural vistas coupled with urban amenities. This year, we're offering two retreats: "A Taste of Denmark" (August 25 - 31), and "The Mississippi River" (September 15 - 21).  Both retreats feature fine arts and crafts, lectures and discussions, storytelling, field trips, nature walks and bike paths, folk dancing and music, and Danish-inspired community meals. Exchange the pressure of modern day life for restoration of your mind, body and spirit at an inexpensive week-long learning vacation on the banks of the Mississippi River. Leave with a fresh perspective, and a sense of new possibilities! To learn more, and to register for one of the retreats, visit the Danebo Folk School website.
