Homecoming: A Women's Retreat — It's Your Time

Come home to yourself for a three-day retreat on a beautiful lake in Southern Maine. Encircle yourself with like-minded women or just be by yourself. Chose from a diverse selection of workshops and gatherings or simply create your own experience. Get away from the Shoulds. Connect with the magic of nature and the feminine spirit. This is a getaway for you, a group of friends, sisters, mothers and daughters, and some new faces. Space, structure and options—large and small—will be abundant for the choosing throughout the weekend. Let your inner compass guide you. Pack a sweater and a healthy dose of intention. It’s your time.

Making the Decision to Come Home

Women Keep Coming Home

Homecoming was born out of a belief that when women gather, things happen. Embedded in the design of this retreat is a deep appreciation for how busy and exhausted women are today and how taking time for ourselves can be a radical act for most of us. Homecoming rests on the notion of choice and a deep trust that given the opportunity, each of us will know what we need to come home to ourselves. Homecoming: A Women’s Retreat was first held in October of 2008, and forty-one women gathered on the shores of Panther Pond in Raymond, Maine. Women came alone, in pairs or in entire carloads for one particular purpose... to come home to themselves. For some women this was a new experience—bold and defiant act. For others, it was something familiar and entirely natural. None of that mattered. What did matter was that women said yes to themselves—to putting themselves first, to feeding their cravings, to listening to their innermost wisdom, to returning home. And they will do it again in 2010. Homecoming: A Women’s Retreat will be offered every two years in the first weekend of October. Will this be your year?
