Reserve Your PlaceA DIFFERENT KIND OF GETAWAY
Some seasons ask for a different kind of care. At Coast & Crow, mornings unfold with salt air, warm tea, and room to notice what you need.
“Remember Yourself” is at the heart of Coast & Crow. Guided practice, shared meals, and unhurried time offer a gentle rhythm for your stay. You are welcome to join in, listen quietly, or make room for yourself.
WAYS TO BE HERE
There is no single path to healing. Come for a guided experience, gather with a small group, or simply give yourself room to be.
“Remember Yourself” · November 13–15, 2026
Intimate, immersive healing experiences with a gentle rhythm of guided practice and unhurried time. Restore, recenter, remember—and return home with simple ways to carry that connection into everyday life.
Personalized experiences with Reiki, yoga Nidra, and meditation, held with care to support your own healing journey and a gentle return to yourself.
Make Bailey Island your home base for a while. Slow mornings, salt air, and room to reconnect with the people you came with—or with yourself.
MANY PATHS TO HEALING
Feel the texture of bark beneath your hands, listen to water moving over rock, or settle beneath a blanket for Yoga Nidra. Forest and ocean therapy, Reiki, meditation, sound, and creative practices invite you into the experience through your senses, with room for your own pace.
Yoga Nidra, Reiki, meditation, sound, and intentional silence invite you to rest, listen inward, and receive. There is no requirement to share, reach a breakthrough, or do healing correctly. You are welcome as you are.
Sylvotherapy / Forest Bathing and Ocean Therapy invite direct, attentive connection with the living world. Guided forest immersion, ocean sensory practices, shoreline meditation, and mindful walking make room for breath, stillness, movement, and the simple recognition that you belong to nature.
Journaling and nature-based creative expression offer room to explore what you notice and feel. Visiting practitioners may bring experiences such as art therapy and portal painting. The value is in the process; nothing needs to be beautiful, finished, or shared.
THE RETREAT JOURNEY
Time to sit by the ocean, walk, journal, read, drink tea, watch the fire, or rest is woven into the retreat. You can share quiet company without needing conversation, or take time to yourself. These open spaces are part of how the experience settles into your life.
THE SETTING · BAILEY ISLAND
Coast & Crow sits between Mackerel Cove and Giant Stairs, two iconic coastal Maine places you can reach on foot. Here, the water is never far away.
Nature participates in the experience. We slow down to notice tides and waves, wind through the trees, birds, textures, sounds, shifting light, and the small changes of the season. Through our senses, we remember our place within a living world.
Ocean Therapy draws on the idea of Blue Mind: the sense of calm and quiet attention we may find near water. Here, you are invited to notice your own response to its rhythm, with no particular feeling required.
The changing tides offer a gentle way to reflect on impermanence, release, resilience, grief, and renewal. There is room for what is changing in your life, and no timetable for what you feel.
Belonging also invites care. We approach the forest and ocean with gratitude, humility, and respect for wildlife and local access.
EXPLORE ON FOOT
Walk to Mackerel Cove or Giant Stairs for time by the water, then let the day unfold at the island’s own pace.
Local shop hours vary with the season. Walking routes and suggestions will help you plan your time on the island.
A TASTE OF THE ISLAND
Good food is part of feeling cared for. Rebekah has connected with the owner of nearby Fishnet Café, who will cater some of our retreat meals—bringing her fresh, creative cooking to the Coast & Crow table.
A personal favorite of Rebekah’s, the café offers some of the best food she’s enjoyed, including wonderful gluten-free and vegan options. It’s also within walking distance for a visit during your stay.
Meal offerings will be shared with each retreat. Let us know about dietary needs when planning your visit.
THE HEART BEHIND COAST & CROW
“Find the quiet that lets you remember who you are.”
In my one-on-one Reiki sessions and group Nidra Heal experiences, I kept noticing something: so many people are seeking healing, even when they can’t quite put into words what needs care.
Those experiences can open the door to something meaningful. But I often wished we had more time. Time to listen, to explore, and to go deeper without having to return so quickly to the distractions of everyday life. Coast & Crow grew from that wish.
The word I keep coming back to is remember. I believe there is a divine light at the core of every person—an essential self that remains unchanged beneath stress, grief, roles, expectations, and all that life brings. Coast & Crow creates space to reconnect with that light: to remember what has been there all along.
As we remember who we are, we can begin to recognize what no longer feels in alignment, what needs our attention, and where healing might begin.
My hope is that this space gives you time to find your way home to yourself—and that you leave with a renewed connection you can carry into your life, continuing your own path of discovery and healing long after your stay.
Sending love,
Rebekah
This is the floor where my first Yoga Nidra clients lay down, closed their eyes, and trusted me to guide them.
Holding space for them shaped who I am as a healer. Those early sessions planted the seeds for Coast & Crow—and the wish to offer more time to slow down, listen deeply, and remember who we are.

GETTING HERE
Trade the highway for a window seat. A train ride to Brunswick brings you within easy reach of Bailey Island, with time to read, rest, and watch New England pass by.
The Amtrak Downeaster runs directly from Boston’s North Station to downtown Brunswick. Settle into a comfortable seat and enjoy the changing scenery, without driving the highway miles, paying road tolls, or stopping for gas along that part of your journey.
Coming from the Fitchburg or Leominster area? Take the MBTA Fitchburg Line from Wachusett, Fitchburg, or North Leominster to North Station, then connect to the Downeaster in the same station. Check departure boards for your platform and allow time between trains.
Downeaster schedules & fares ↗Fitchburg Line schedules ↗Book each rail service separately. Fares vary by date and availability; check current schedules and service alerts before booking.
Step off the train and into a lively, creative town center. Brunswick is home to Bowdoin College, independent shops, artisan goods, galleries, craft coffee, and inviting restaurants.
Choose an earlier train and give yourself time to wander Maine Street, browse something handmade, linger over lunch, or explore the college’s surroundings. Your time away can begin before you reach the island.
Explore downtown Brunswick ↗03 / THE FINAL STRETCH
From Brunswick, continue by car to Bailey Island in Harpswell. Allow about 30 minutes for the drive, depending on your pickup point and traffic.
“I’m happy to help you arrange transportation for the final stretch to Coast & Crow.” — Rebekah
Arrange your ride ahead of time. Uber is an option when drivers are available; a prearranged taxi or car service offers another way to reach the island. Plan your return transfer too, so you can leave your car at home with confidence.
