Engaging the Senses - A Creative Arts Retreat

With Natalie Davis and Maura Ambrose

July 29 - August 2, 2026
Casa Portal
A four-day retreat in Maine guided by Natalie Davis and Maura Ambrose, centered on sensory play, herbal crafting, sound healing, and time in nature. Through hands-on making, forest bathing, sound, and shared daily rhythm, guests are invited into a slower, embodied relationship with creativity shaped by land and season. Days unfold through tactile experiences — using your hands, your attention, and the natural world as teachers.
