Nurture Through Nature

A beautiful, earth~friendly retreat center in the heart of Western Maine lakes and mountains region

Since 1999, we have been supporting the experience of how to live more simply and sustainably while practicing the healing arts in a beautiful, natural setting.

Maine’s first Green~Certified earth~friendly retreat center, Nurture Through Nature, rests on 33 mountainside, forested acres in the heart of western Maine’s Lakes and Mountains region. We are a solar-powered, off-the-grid retreat with private hiking trails along our spring~fed mountain brook leading to long views of Mount Washington and the White Mountains.

Nurture Through Nature was founded on the premise that retreating inward in a manner that supports your connection to the natural world and your own true nature is invaluable. We support your journey, your healing, your joy and your interconnection to all of life.

Incredible, quiet, nature retreat. We enjoyed the option of checking ourselves in, the yurt was all stocked and ready to go when we arrived. The sauna was amazing! We were able to me Jen during our stay. We loved our experience and would love to return, a truly unique special place. Already recommended to friends!

This is truly an amazing experience. We stayed the weekend in the Sunset Yurt, and could not have loved it more. Stepping away from work, computers, and stress was easy in this gorgeously-kept, electricity-free place. The only tether I couldn’t cut was Instagram, to share all the beautiful things we saw. We grilled over an open fire for nearly every meal, hiked, and read. It was amazing. Thank you, Jen!

As always, the cabin was the perfect tranquility I needed to unwind and forget about the stresses of daily life. It was a pleasure to meet Jen this time, and to learn about how such a special place like Nurture Through Nature came to be. Jen graciously fired up the sauna for us last minute, which was incredible. I will be back again!!

My boyfriend and I love the yurt! It was clean and well-stocked when we arrived and Marie was available through text. I like that our host reached out to us promptly after our arrival to let us know she was available. We also enjoyed the sauna. It was a great addition! I have recommended Nurture Through Nature to all of my friends who enjoy the outdoors. The place was magical!

I spent the week of my 50th birthday alone in robin’s nest this spring. it was delightful. I totally felt held in this sweet community and was allowed all of the solo space i might have wished for! The sauna and brook were terrific gifts. sleeping in a cabin and walking in the woods! Such decadence!

What a perfect getaway from city life! My only wish is that I had been able to stay a bit longer. The eco-cabin is exactly as described – perfectly nestled in the Maine woods with nothing but nature everywhere you look. I had everything I needed while also pushing myself to become more aware of things I take for granted in every-day life such as electricity and water. Super impressed with the solar power setup and truly feeling off the grid.

This place was exactly what my partner and I wanted. Very private/ secluded but not isolated, rustic but not primitive, and a whole lot of love and magic to the space and land. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Nurture Through Nature is a one of a kind Maine experience. At once a community of energy that honors and respects nature while providing the perfect balance of personal retreat experiences…You owe it to yourself to visit Nurture Through Nature.

We stayed for three days in the winter and it was more relaxing, rewarding and rejuvenating then any two week vacation I have ever had. We grew closer to nature, to each other and ourselves. Do yourself a favor and book this trip-use the sauna, go to yoga, explore the woods. We will be back!

Vera
Boston

A gorgeous, incredibly peaceful, and very special place in the woods. It has been created with such thought and care. We had everything we needed and were happy to practice doing without some luxuries that are so easy to take for granted, such as no running water in the house. We were happily plunged into a simpler, slower life much more in touch with nature. The grounds has so much to explore- lovely, secluded swimming holes, a meditation walk, beautiful hikes. The sauna was an incredible experience.

Nurture through Nature is what this world needs. This is compassion in action.

One thing I have experienced since coming to Nurture Through Nature is the spirit which helps open the heart to light when it has been sheltered in darkness. When one leaves, the heart may begin to close up again but it never closes tightly and light still sifts in and each time one comes back to NTN the heart opens more and closes less.

Jen and Nurture Through Nature provide an environment that allows for a beautiful disconnect from the harried pace we keep. We found ousrselves living in the moment, where the moment is the nature’s simplicity and beauty. You must take a wood-fired sauna…we were transformed. Lots of love NTN, see you soon!
