      About this trip

      Are you looking to take your recovery to the next level? Grace Happens: Autumn Self-Care & Renewal in York Harbor is a personal growth retreat for recovering women, facilitated by Kathy Robbins, MSW, LICSW, CCPC, PCC, SRCD, MaryBeth Litchfield-Murphy, BSN, RN-NC, CPRC, SRCD and Payton Kennedy, RYT, CPRC, SRCD. Onsite OR nearby massage therapy services may be available (extra cost is applicable, TBC).


      Kathy, MaryBeth and Payton are professionals in women's recovery and wellness, and in long-term recovery themselves. This is your opportunity to gather with like-minded/hearted women for self-care, connection, renewal and to be in circle to nourish the feminine spirit. Mornings will be spent in group with guided activities, exercises and special sessions; afternoons and evenings are free to enjoy outdoor walks by the sea, hiking and sightseeing; tea & conversation on the porch or inside, in a cozy seating area. A special yoga and mindful movement session will be offered by MaryBeth and Payton at a nearby studio space. 


      Morning Labyrinth ceremonies, sun-gazing and (optional) cold dip will start each day on York Harbor Beach, just a short walk from Varrell House. Evening sharing circles will complete the day around a backyard bonfire or in one of the charming common areas. Explore recovery with experienced guidance in gorgeous York Harbor, Maine.

      The best ever! Accommodations, food, location and the women who've come friends, made this a trip to remember. Yoga is not the same without the rooftop overlooking the ocean. Thank you so much Payton, Dawn & Sharonlee xoxo

      Retreating with 20+ gals on the beach in Cancun was a divine! Everything was perfect..even on the very windy days that Mother Nature bestowed upon us. The villa is beautiful, large, and roomy. The on-site staff are the most warm, humble & kind human beings on the planet. Truth! If only more of us could be like them, oh what a happy world we would have. Payton's leadership in conducting this week long retreat is done with perfection and professionalism, and joy & care. I always look forward to a retreat put on by Return to Grace, and this one in Mexico did not disappoint. Villa, beach, ocean, hammocks, pool, food, lodging..heaven on Earth! Thank you for a retreat to remember.

      The Villa was amazing. Loved the beach, meals and connection. The yoga was good but it would be great to offer some more advanced options. Arrival into Cancun was a big disappointment. After a long day of travel, waiting 3.5 hours for ground transportation was terrible and triggering. Not a good start. Would have liked more options for outings and independence to create itinerary and transport. Overall, a healing, memorable experience with much beauty and heart opening.
