Mindfulness in Maine
A Women’s Wellness Retreat
You’re invited to a Women’s Wellness Retreat in Northeastern Maine from July 24 – 28, 2025 to join Tate Sutton and Lorie Ward for an epic weekend to become fully present.
Embrace the Moment.
5 Days and 4 Nights to live fully in the present moment, accept yourself exactly as you are, and slow down to enjoy all of the mindfulness experiences curated intentionally just for you.
Whether you are new to mindfulness or have been practicing for years, this retreat is designed to offer a space for women to reconnect with themselves, find balance, and embrace the present moment.
“Mindfulness is the practice of purposely bringing one’s attention to the present-moment experience without judgment.”
What makes this retreat so special?
- Experience an untouched part of the world in the most northeastern corner of the U.S., on the 45th Parallel – halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.
- Set against the stunning backdrop of Maine’s rugged coastline on a private 60 acre property, this retreat provides a rare opportunity to recharge, relax, and rediscover your inner peace.
- Practice the 7 Principles of Mindfulness: non-judging, patience, beginner’s mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance, letting go.
- Daily sessions that blend mindfulness practices with guided meditation and breath work to quiet the mind, gain more active listening, find intentions, focus attention, and cultivate inner awareness.
- We provide many opportunities to learn more about mindfulness and how to incorporate it into everyday life, while also having free time to explore all the property has to offer.
- Practice yoga in a serene environment to release tension, improve flexibility, and deepen your mind-body connection.
An invitation to step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, reconnect with your true self, and embrace mindfulness in a welcoming, women-centered space.
