Upcoming Events

Come and be among friends.

Put things down.

Camp is restorative.

If you’d like that, here’s your opportunity.

Join me and a small group of women (a maximum of 8 of us) on Sheepscot Pond in Palermo, Maine for six heavenly days of camp-style retreat.

See below for more about the experience, pricing and what’s included, and how to book your spot.

The Space

The Camp Retreat takes place on its own very adorable peninsula on Sheepscot Pond here in Maine. We have extensive grounds, lots of places for sitting with coffee, relaxing in a hammock, listening to the loons, playing a variety of land sports games, or taking a quiet walk.

We also have kayaks and paddleboards for getting out on the water, as well as a dock with a bench for morning coffee or nighttime stargazing.
We have a firepit to come together around in the evenings.

We have two beautiful sun porches – one each for the Bunkhouse and the Main House – a mini kitchen and hangout space in the Bunkhouse, and a lovely large living area, kitchen, and dining space in the Main House.
The bathrooms are shared, one each in the Main House and the Bunkhouse. Plus there’s an outdoor shower, a wonderful amenity after time on or in the water.

What We’ll Do

We’ll have space and time each day to connect, talk, and laugh.
We’ll share meals together – and maybe cook together, for those who’d like to join in a local chef cooking class, right in our kitchen.
We’ll do campy things: Arts & Crafts, Landsports, Boating, Me Time, Scavenger Hunting.
We’ll do retreaty things: Mindfulness Walks and Meditation, Intuition Treasure Hunting, Sharing Circle time.

What we WON’T Do

Anything we don’t want to.

These days are a haven. An opportunity for deep rest, connection, and restoration.

If that means hanging out in a hammock all day, feeling the breeze on your cheeks? That’s what it means.
It’s your camp retreat, and you get to choose how you spend your time here.

The Location

Sheepscot Pond is one of my favorite lakes in all of the state of Maine.
This is because it’s amazing.
It’s also because there’s great access to lots of wonderful places to visit.

Will we:
Hike and walk the Carriage Trails in Acadia National Park?
Visit the Lost Kitchen Market in nearby Freedom, or the lovely coastal town of Belfast?
Wander through Maine’s largest general store, Hussey’s, whose sign reads “Beer, Guns, Wedding Dresses”?
I can’t wait to find out.

Hooray!

What Your Ticket Does, and Does Not, Include

Your ticket includes accommodations, all meals, and all excursions as well as transportation to and from the retreat from your arrival in Augusta, Maine, on the first day.
Everything’s included except: getting to/from Augusta, alcohol, souvenirs, and travel insurance.

Getting to the Retreat

Sheepscot Pond is located just close enough to major highways and transit hubs such that getting here is reasonable, and far enough away that it’s the peaceful Maine experience you’ve been wishing for.

If you’re driving, there’s space at the camp retreat for your car.

If you’re flying or coming in by bus or train, I’ll meet you at the appropriate transit hub, about 45 minutes from our camp retreat by car.
