SHE RECOVERS® Retreats are our mission in action: connecting, supporting & empowering women to heal in community.

SHE RECOVERS in Maine is your invitation to take a sacred pause from your busy life and gather with like-hearted women recovering from life’s challenges. Spend 5 days and 4 nights in an intimate setting at the edge of the Atlantic in historic, scenic York Harbor.

The setting is stunning and the food divine, but after more than a decade of hosting SHE RECOVERS Retreats, we know the most important element is the women who join us. There is nothing better than honest conversation and the ease of simply being yourself among those on a similar path.

SHE RECOVERS in Maine is yours to shape: your recovery, your rhythm. We offer a range of experiences and activities, but you get to decide how you would like to spend your time:

• Rise with the sun, walk the beaches, take a cold plunge in the Atlantic

• Take part in daily guided activities and embodied movement with our SHE RECOVERS Professional facilitators

• Share what’s on your heart in circle with women who have earned the right to hear your story

• Go sightseeing, hiking, or simply sip tea on the porch or by the fire

• Do nothing — there will be plenty of time to read, rest, and nap

Important:

SHE RECOVERS Retreats are designed for women and non-binary folks in or seeking recovery from many things. You don’t need to explain why you’re coming, but out of a deep respect for those healing from substance use, our retreats are strictly alcohol- and drug-free, both on site and on group excursions.

Nestled in the fiery autumn foliage of New England and just steps from the rocky coastline and windswept beaches, Varrell House welcomes you with its cozy charm and gentle rhythm of seaside living. It is a large private, 3-story house with private and shared rooms, multiple bathrooms/showers, and large, intentionally furnished communal spaces. The dining room and kitchen are in the center of the house and the hub for morning coffee and shared meals.

Nourish yourself with three delicious meals per day made by our private chef. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary requests will happily be accommodated. Tea, coffee, and cold alcohol-free beverages are always available.

Spacious and cozy, Varrell House is truly a "home-away-from-home" where you can immerse yourself in holistic recovery practices, form deep connections with like-hearted individuals, and receive unwavering support from facilitators with decades of lived and professional recovery experience.

All retreat deposits and payments are non-refundable. We commit to venues, staffing, food and beverage, transportation, and vendor contracts many months in advance, and these costs are incurred whether or not a registrant can attend.

Under some circumstances, and at SHE RECOVERS discretion, if you cancel before your final payment is processed, a portion of your payment to date may be applied as a credit for another SHE RECOVERS Retreat within the next 12 months.

If you cancel after the final payment has been processed, the entire retreat payment is forfeited.

*The Cancellation Policy is part of the Retreat Participant Agreement you are required to sign to complete your registration.
