October Retreat
Fall in Midcoast Maine
Per tradition, before every Retreat registration, I always share the information about a week in advance! Please note that registration will take place on Wednesday May 21st at 5:30 pm EST. I will place a button below so that you know exactly where to go!
Kara Duval and Catie Macken invite you to join them in the natural beauty of Midcoast Maine from October 16-20 for a 4 night / 5 day Retreat that celebrates nourishing movement, breath, local food, rest and listening to and learning from the land. Tucked between Damariscotta and Rockland in Maine’s Midcoast lies the 83 acres of Tops’l Farm. You can’t look at this land without feeling the warming sweep of nostalgia. Tops’l provides us with the environment to feel like we are at an elevated summer camp which is precisely the experience we have created! From mornings filled with nourishing motion, to afternoons spent exploring ourselves through breathwork, to evenings spent laughing and story telling around a campfire, there’s an undeniable magic about Fall in New England.
Something that is incredibly important for me to mention is that after years of hosting Retreats, I am feeling so called to collaborating with fellow creatives for these experiences. Bringing Catie onto Range to create our Ritual Breathwork category continues to be one of the best decisions that I have made. Though we have collaborated on Retreats in the past, this is the first that we are truly cohosting together. There will be as much emphasis on movement as there is with daily breathwork practices and vice versa. We will each be holding the space in a way that is balanced, harmonious, down to earth and (can I say?) FUNNY. Catie and I take our crafts incredibly seriously but……..not too seriously.
Retreats are about welcoming pleasure and celebrating the joys of being human. Together, we will move, breathe, eat, explore, rest, and relish within the land. You are welcome to come exactly as you are. In fact, a question that we both receive quite often is “can I come alone?!” and my friends, this is exactly the space to do so.
On my website (which is also where registration will take place) you will be able to peruse room types, pricing details, policies, what's included and more!
We cannot wait to welcome you to Tops’l! As a reminder, registration will take place on Wednesday, May 21st, at 5:30 PM EST.
Sending a warm hug to all,
Kara + Catie
