✨ Facilitator Spotlight: Tammy Holleman ✨

Healing looks different for everyone, and we’re incredibly honored to welcome Tammy Holleman to the Elevated Escape family.

As a Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist, Tammy is passionate about helping others break through limiting beliefs, quiet the mental noise, and reconnect with the version of themselves they’ve been searching for.

Throughout the weekend, Tammy will be offering The Breathroom—guided breathwork experiences on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday designed to help you slow down, release what no longer serves you, and create space for healing and growth.

Sometimes the most powerful transformation begins with something as simple as a single breath.

We’re humbled to have Tammy sharing her gifts with our community and can’t wait for our guests to experience the impact of her work.

We need change!! Absolutely!!💜📢🙌🏼

Two Forestview Middle School students, 11-year-old Ava Starr and 13-year-old Alexis Thornton, died just three weeks apart. Both families say the girls were bullied by other students.

Be the change this world needs.

Lead with kindness when it’s easier to judge.
Choose compassion when others choose division.
Offer hope when someone feels like giving up.

Real change doesn’t always begin with grand gestures. More often, it starts with a conversation, a helping hand, a smile, or simply showing up for someone who needs to know they’re not alone.

The world changes one person at a time. Today, let that person be you.

💙 Be present.
💙 Be compassionate.
💙 Be the reason someone believes there’s still good in this world.

Together, we can build stronger communities, healthier minds, and a future rooted in hope.

Everyone says they value collaboration.

In business—and in life—success is rarely a solo endeavor. Yet few people know how to make collaboration truly work.

Minnesota’s cannabis industry is entering a defining chapter. Licensed businesses are launching, partnerships are forming, and new opportunities are emerging every day. Many are still discovering where they fit in this rapidly evolving market.

As the proverb says, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

At ElevateMN, collaboration isn’t just something we talk about—it’s how we’ve grown. Through Elevated Escape and partnerships across Minnesota, we’ve brought together nonprofits, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, educators, advocates, and community leaders around a shared purpose. Those relationships have reinforced a simple truth: when we work together, entire communities benefit.

Join us on July 22 at CannaClub for The Collaboration Edge, where we’ll explore what makes collaboration successful, why many partnerships fall apart, and how entrepreneurs can build relationships that create lasting value—not just short-term transactions.

📍 Earl Giles Distillery
📅 July 22
🕔 CannaClub: 5:00–9:00 PM
🎤 Featured Conversation: 6:00–7:00 PM

As part of the lead-up to Minnesota Cannabis Week, this conversation is an opportunity to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, operators, and ecosystem leaders.

Together, we’ll demonstrate why collaboration matters in Minnesota’s emerging cannabis market. By sharing knowledge, supporting one another, and building meaningful partnerships, we’re creating opportunities that strengthen not just our businesses—but our entire community.

Minnesota Cannabis Week is a collaborative initiative between MCBA, ElevateMN, Hey Mango, and many incredible ecosystem partners, bringing together community, education, business, networking, wellness, advocacy, and meaningful connection.

Let’s grow Minnesota cannabis—together. 🌿

There are moments that define a community.

This August, Minnesota has one of those moments.

For seven incredible days, organizations with a shared vision are coming together—not to compete, but to collaborate. To educate. To advocate. To build relationships. And to continue shaping the future of cannabis in our state.

We’re honored that ElevateMN is part of that story alongside the Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA) and Hey Mango.

🌲 August 21–23
Elevated Escape Camping Retreat
Three days to unplug, reconnect with nature, prioritize your mental wellness, and experience the power of genuine community through live music, workshops, wellness experiences, shared meals, and campfires.

🤝 August 24–27
MCBA Green Equity Summit
Continue the journey with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, advocates, policymakers, and changemakers working together to build a stronger, more equitable cannabis industry through education, networking, and collaboration.

🌿 August 27
Minnesota Marketplace
Celebrate the innovation, businesses, and people driving Minnesota’s cannabis community forward while creating new partnerships and opportunities.

This isn’t just a week of events.

It’s a reminder that our greatest strength has always been each other.

When we share ideas, lift one another up, and work together instead of apart, we create something far greater than any one organization could accomplish alone.

Whether you spend one day with us or experience all seven, we invite you to be part of something that’s bigger than all of us.

Let’s grow Minnesota cannabis through collaboration.

We’ll see you this August. 💚

Partnerships like these are what make Elevated Escape possible.

When people ask how a small nonprofit continues to build something this special year after year, the answer is simple: incredible businesses and incredible people who believe in giving back to their community.

Today, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Emerald Enterprise & Distribution for becoming an Official Retreat Partner for Elevated Escape Camping Retreat 2026.

Your support isn’t just helping put on another event—it’s helping create a space where people can unplug from the noise, reconnect with themselves, build lasting friendships, and focus on their mental wellness in the beauty of nature.

Together, we’re creating a weekend filled with community meals, live music, wellness experiences, education, laughter, campfires, and memories that will stay with people long after they head home.

On behalf of everyone at Elevate MN, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue building something truly meaningful for the people of Minnesota.

If your business is looking for an opportunity to make a real impact while supporting mental wellness and community connection, we’d love to have that conversation. Sponsorship opportunities for Elevated Escape 2026 are now available, and many are already beginning to fill.

Thank you again, Emerald Enterprise & Distribution. We can’t wait to welcome you to the Escape!

Be Blessed, Stay Lifted, Spread Love.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, bonus dads, foster dads, and father figures out there.

Today we celebrate the men who show up, sacrifice, teach, protect, support, and love. The men who work long hours, carry heavy burdens, offer guidance, and continue to give even when nobody notices.

Fatherhood isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. It’s about showing up on the hard days, leading by example, and doing your best to leave the world a little better for those who follow behind you.

To the fathers who are thriving, we celebrate you.
To the fathers who are struggling, we see you.
To those missing their fathers today, we hold space for you.
To those doing everything they can to be better than yesterday, keep going.

Thank you for your strength, your sacrifices, your wisdom, and your love.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at ElevateMN.

Be Blessed. Stay Lifted. Spread Love.
