Being Here, As You Are

A Casa Portal retreat for reconnecting with your voice, your pace, and your creative well

Hosted byMelissa Schneider of Casa Portal 

Hosted at Casa Portal—a working farm retreat in mid-coast Maine—this experience is designed for creators and solo entrepreneurs whose work is closely tied to who they are.

When your work and your life are deeply connected, it takes space to hear what’s actually yours—versus what’s shaped by pace, expectation, or constant visibility.

Over a few days together, we step out of that cycle.

Shared meals. Time on the land. Tea on the porch, gardening, being with the sheep. Quiet moments alone, and guided conversation in community.

We will hold space for discussions exploring the questions we hold around our work, our ideas of success, and how we’re showing up in our work and our lives.

At Casa Portal, the environment is part of the experience.

Set on 100 acres of working farmland and forest in Maine, the land invites a slower rhythm. Being in natural beauty—and in relationship with the land—creates permission to pause, to stop producing, and simply be.

This is not about giving you answers or a plan.

It’s about creating the conditions to hear yourself clearly again.

From there, clarity doesn’t need to be forced.
It begins to surface—naturally, and in your own time.

During our time together, the days unfold gently and deliberately. Experiences may include:

  • Daily guided discussion and sessions with Leigh 
  • Solo forest time with simple invitations for noticing and reflection
  • Evening fireside storytelling and shared listening
  • Quiet mornings and unstructured time on the land
  • Walking trails through woods and open fields on the private property
  • Seasonal, chef-prepared meals shared communally
  • Time to sit, wander, journal, or simply be outdoors
  • Sound Healing in the Bath Loft

All-Inclusive Rates Include: 

• Three meals per day (plus snacks & non-alcoholic beverages)
• All teacher-led programming and workshop materials
• Accommodations for the duration of the retreat
• Exclusive private access to Casa Portal and its amenities
