Description
Named one of the "10-Top Eco-Destinations of North America" in Eco-Watch, Nurture Through Nature is a beautiful, eco-retreat center located in the lower sloes of Mount Pleasant in Demark, Maine. The center's intention is to hold a space for conscious, simple, green living for those interested in a return to balance. The center offers a diverse and private 33 acres of forest and trails for exploring, be it along their magical mountain book, picking wild blueberries on the granite outcrops in summer or a hike to a beautiful vista of the White Mountain National Forest. Surrounding their land is an extensive woodlands and Nature conservancy land, providing a true sanctuary into the natural world.
Nurture through Nature is committed to sustainable practices, including solar power, composting, renewable heat sources and non-toxic cleaning products. While the center encourages a return to a more simple way of living, their cabins and yurts provide an inviting stay. The main lodge is a two story meeting house constructed in 2003. The upstairs hosts a open, spacious bright space for yoga and healing arts. The back room houses a bunk too with 3 sets of hand-crafted bunks. There is a large parlor/kitchen/fining area and a deck, offering plenty of space for lounging dining or enjoying some reading.

This retreat will include two 90-minute active yoga practices and two yin or restorative practices with meditation interspersed throughout. You will learn about Ayurveda and how to become more in harmony with the season along with self-care techniques like ambyanga to help foster a rejuvenating experience. You'll also enjoy a tea-making ceremony in which we learn to connect more deeply to plants and the earth. In between classes and meals you are welcome to explore the expansive and beautiful grounds on your own or join us in group nature hike to their Medicine Wheel and sit at its center, gazing into the long views of the White Mountain National Forest.
