This special three-day retreat and workshop is designed to deepen creative engagement with the Maine woods, and immerse participants in the older forests and crystalline ponds of Borestone Mountain. It’s an opportunity to explore a unique ecosystem, from the lilliputian mosses and lichens to the panoramic views of Borestone’s summit.

Open to artists, writers, and creatives, who draw inspiration from the natural world, we will traverse an unimproved road and take a short boat ride to access Maine Audubon’s Borestone Mountain Lodge. The Adirondack style lodge on Sunset Pond will be our home and studio for this three-day exploration.

With nature journaling as our foundation, each day Maine Audubon Director of Conservation Sally Stockwell will lead forest walks drawing on the many trails, surrounding forests, and alpine ponds and mountaintop for inspiration. Melissa Sweet, illustrator and Maine Master naturalist, will offer writing prompts and visual storytelling exercises, designed to take note of the natural world in unexpected ways. In addition, Sally and Melissa will draw on ecology, climate science, and environmental philosophies to enliven our connection with nature. Along with optional planned activities, time will be set aside for reflection, conversation, and exploring inventive ways of working. While we will introduce some new techniques and tools for recording your nature experience, this is not a beginner class.
