Come as you are.
Leave with lifelong friends.
After the magic we created in Charleston last year, we knew we had to do it again! And this time, we’re heading to the cozy, coastal charm of Portland, Maine.
We’ll spend four soul-nourishing days together in a beautiful, private lakefront cabin just 35 minutes from downtown. Think fall foliage, crisp air, cozy nights, deep belly laughs, and moments that make you feel like you’ve known each other forever.
This retreat is all about connection.
To yourself. To nature. And to a group of women who truly get you.
Our Itinerary
Thursday Night
Welcome Dinner, Drinks & Fireside Vibes 🔥
Arrival begins at 5:00 PM at our dreamy lakefront cabin just outside Portland. We’ll kick things off with welcome drinks (and mocktails!), snacks, and cozy fall vibes as you settle in and meet your fellow Minded gals.
At 7:00 PM, we’ll gather around the table for a family-style welcome dinner filled with laughter, introductions, and delicious comfort food. Afterward, we’ll keep it chill with some classic friendship games, warm mugs in hand, and a nightcap by the firepit.
Friday
Exploring Portland 🦞
We’ll start our day with a light breakfast at the house before heading into downtown Portland for a full day of exploring.
Our first stop: a stroll through the Old Port’s cobblestone streets, local shops, and waterfront views. We’ll grab a fresh seafood lunch (lobster rolls, anyone?) and explore some of the city’s charming boutiques and markets.
In the afternoon, we’ll board a boat for a scenic tour of Casco Bay, complete with postcard-perfect views of Portland Head Light and other historic lighthouses.
After a full day out, we’ll return to the cabin for a cozy movie night + s’mores. Come in your comfies…we’ll bring the popcorn and fuzzy blankets.
Saturday
Nature, Walks & Sound Bath Magic ✨
This is your day to relax and recharge. Start your morning slow! Sleep in, sip coffee by the lake, or take a solo walk on one of the nearby trails.
We’ll gather for brunch around 11:00 AM before leaning into all things chill: journaling by the water, reading, chatting, or simply doing nothing at all (no pressure here!).
In the afternoon, we’ll gather for a guided sound bath ceremony to reconnect with ourselves and soak in the peace of the moment.
That evening, we’ll dress up (a little!) and head out to a local gem of a restaurant for our final group dinner! Expect delicious food, warm toasts, and maybe a few happy tears.
Sunday
Breakfast & Goodbyes 🥹
We’ll have coffee, tea, and grab-and-go breakfast bites ready for you in the morning. Take your time packing, hugging it out, and soaking in the last bits of lake air before heading home—hopefully with a full heart and new lifelong friendships.
