FALL RETREAT
OCTOBER 13-16, 2022
WELLS, MAINE
LOCATION
Expansive ocean views serve as the backdrop to our weekend in Wells, Maine. Retreat attendees will have the opportunity to run along the ocean and experience gentle trails at a marsh preserve. At the conclusion of the weekend, you'll have the chance to salute the sun with oceanside yoga. Attendees have immediate access to the beach for solo walks, a chilly dip in the Atlantic, or find a secluded spot on the porch to journal and watch the waves.
