August 2-August 9
An empowering holistic paddling expedition in the North Maine Woods.
Words do no justice in describing what unfolds for those that show up for a retreat of this length and nature. Becoming absorbed in the natural world while in community, having all that we truly need in our canoes, creates a sense of spaciousness, simplicity, and empowerment. Connecting with the natural rhythms of sun, moon, stars, water, and earth brings us back to a more authentic and ease-filled way of being.
