To create a safe nurturing environment for guest to explore themselves, their experiences and their life style (goals) in a personally impersonal family community.
Clear your soul at the historic Sewall House, built in 1865, where yoga instructor Donna Davidge’s great grandfather, William Sewall, taught Theodore Roosevelt the wonders, beauty, and healing attributes of nature. Mr. Sewall gained much of his native knowledge from the Indians and was an excellent log man.
Donna’s great grandfather’s chosen location in northern Maine is close to Canada and near Mt. Katahdin, where the sun first hits the East Coast as it rises; you can enjoy the nearby forests, lakes (Mattawamkeag Lake and Pleasant Lake), Baxter State Park and wildlife such as moose and loons. It is here you will be able to experience serenity and solitude, away from the trappings of everyday life.
A variety of forms of yoga are offered based on your level of yoga, taking into account your personal needs and reasons for being on a yoga retreat.
Let the fresh air of northern Maine, its wildlife, lakes and hikes along with the embrace of this historic home allow moments of reflection and healing. Sewall House offers all this within a supportive atmosphere, educating through healthy tasty eating, nurturing interactions and the wellness that a yoga lifestyle gives us.
Donna purchased her great grandparents’ National Historic Registry home in 1997 to save and continue her family legacy of friendship and healing in nature with likeminded seekers.
The Yoga retreat offers a warm Bed & Breakfast atmosphere filled with antique treasures and books as well as a lovely fireplace for gatherings in the living room. Yoga DVD’s and books are available for use during your stay.
