Held by Water: A Women's Gathering by Boat

$125.00

Version 1:

There is something ancient that awakens in women around water.

We carry oceans within us — in our blood, our tears, our cycles, our wombs. Water has always been a place of reflection, power, healing and remembrance. And yet, in the pace of modern life, how often do we truly pause long enough to feel this deep connection?

Join us for an unforgettable evening on the Maine coast: Together, we’ll travel by boat through Casco Bay and the New Meadows River to the quiet shores of Malaga Island for a guided women’s gathering.

A rare evening for women to be cared for, transported, nourished and held by nature.

This experience is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, feel the salt air on your skin, and remember your place within the living world. Less about do-ing, more about be-ing.

Version 2:

There are so few places where women are truly able to soften.

So much of life asks us to hold, carry, manage, produce, tend. To keep moving. To stay on top of to-do lists and schedules. Especially in the fast-paced season of summer.

Held By Water is an invitation to step away from the busyness for an evening — and let the ryhthmn of the tides remind us how to BE.

Together, we’ll travel by boat to Malaga Island, exploring the island trail and gathering on land in a women’s circle with the ocean at our backs. Allowing ourselves to be held by nature, by community, and by the simple but profound relief of not needing to do anything at all.

This is a space to breathe deeper. To listen inward. To be kissed by the salt air, rocked by the ocean mama, and met by the earth beneath your feet.

Version 3:

Held By Water is an evening for women to step outside the pace of modern life and return to the intelligent, cyclical pace of nature—slower, quieter, deeper.

We’ll journey together by boat to Malaga Island, where the tides, the wind, the rocky shore and the soft soil are all additional members of the gathering.

A chance to soften into the landscape. To anchor yourself amidst the waves of life. To be lulled by the gentle lap of the water against the boat. To breathe salt air into tired bodies. To sit among women without needing to be anything other than human.

For a few hours, the sea holds us all.

Version 4:

Held by Water was created for women who are longing to exhale.

Women who spend their days caring for others, moving quickly, staying strong, holding so much — and who quietly ache for a space where they can simply rest into themselves again.

On this evening boat journey to Malaga Island, we gather not to escape life, but to return more fully to it: through water, earth, conversation, stillness and community.

The ocean has a way of reminding the body how to unclench.

Together, we’ll let the tides slow us down long enough to hear ourselves again.
