Alpacas, Ramble & Wine Write Adventure

Join MYA in Unity, Maine where we’ll visit an alpaca farm, stroll through a beautiful land trust property, and have a tasting & writing session at Stone Tree Farm & Cidery. Cheryl Daigle will be our co-host leaning into her naturalist and artful composition expertise.

The adventure begins at the Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm, Maine Alpaca Experience where adventurers will get a tour of the farm and an opportunity to meet the cute, furry alpacas. Afterwards we’ll have time to shop in the alpaca gift shop with the most amazing clothing, gifts, and yarn. We can be sure to offer up a donation or make a purchase to support them.

With lots of warm fuzzies from the farm, we’ll head out to the Richardson Memorial Preserve for a walk through a variety of field and woodland habitats including a lovely stretch along Sandy Stream. The 116-acre property is the summer home to grassland birds such as Bobolinks and Savannah Sparrow - we will learn how land is managed for these and other migratory birds and listen for early migrants. Cheryl will be leading the stroll adding in details of the natural world as we pass by and Holly will find pauses to move our bodies, breathe, and meditate. There could be snow but maybe not, either way all are sure to enjoy. If you’d like to make a donation to the land trust to support their work, this day would be a great opportunity.

Cheryl is the executive director of the Sebasticook Regional Land Trust. She was the editor of Northern Woodlands magazine and an editorial assistant for Orion magazine. Her writing has appeared in regional literary and conservation publications throughout New England. She enjoys exploring the natural wonders of Maine whenever she can get away from the computer and started nature journaling when she was a child.

After our stroll the next stop will be Stone Tree Farm & Cidery established by Brian Erickson and Frank Haferland. Frank has a background in Geology and Brian has a background in Forestry which brought about the name of this wonderful establishment. With a love of wine and cider they pursued their dream of starting and operating their own establishment. Together, a perfect pairing.

At the farm, we’ll be in the new red barn, super exciting! MYA will bring along yummy vegetarian food to share. Cheryl will guide us through some writing prompts that adventurers can work on and can share with the group if they like. All can have a tasting of their choice and settle in to create prose and listen to storytelling with absolutely no judgement. No writing or yoga experience is necessary to join in this Sundayfunday.

Don’t miss out on a super layered, wonder filled adventure in Unity! We’ll get in a sweet alpaca visit, a guided stroll on a beautiful land trust property, a wine/cider tasting, yummy vegetarian food, and an opportunity to express ourselves thru writing and sharing.

A notable parcel of the Orono Land Trust, not far from Sanctuary Spa, is the beautiful Davis Conservation Easement where our adventure begins.

With or without the snow, who knows what the weather will bring, it’s a nice place to be. Along the way we’ll find pauses to breathe and flow into yoga poses.

After our outdoor excursion, adventurers we’ll head indoors to relax and get in some serious self-care :) Sanctuary Spa is warm & welcoming and is offering up a new service by Candace, a foot detox and Zyto scans. Candace has recently become certified in Raindrop Technique and is offering it up at the spa but for our adventure we’ll get to try out Zyto Scans which can give you a report on your bodily functions and Ionic foot detoxes. Both of these modalities are wonderful tools to look at your body and see what you can do to help yourself feel better.

An additional offering is a short Reiki session with Jodi. Reiki (life force energy) is a safe method of spiritual healing for stress reduction, relaxation and self-improvement that everyone can use. During a Reiki treatment, the practitioner will gently place their hands on or above your body to guide you into a relaxed state where energy patterns can be identified and healed. The gentle treatment can bring about strong and lasting healing with the focus on the source of ailments and maladies. The results can feel miraculous.

We’ll be warming our hearts, souls, and bellies as MYA will have plenty of vegetarian food set out to indulge in. The group can lounge on the couches or comfy chairs taking time to be present and savor each moment. We always have fabulous adventures at Sanctuary Spa!

Let’s get outside & hike! Join MYA for another wicked awesome adventure with hiking in Acadia, mountaintop yoga, and a yummy vegetarian tailgate dinner…

Adventurers will take on Penobscot Mountain, our first sweet peak of the day, via the Spring Trail. Please note that this is a hike with outstanding views but it is strenuous. We’ll be taking our time and breathing in the beauty.

After yoga & snacks at the summit, we’ll continue hiking to Sargent Mountain, the 2nd highest peak in Acadia. Our loop will cross carriage roads with beautiful bridges. The hike is five miles in length and we’ll give ourselves six hours to get it done.

Our meet up point will be the Jordan Pond North lot (let’s carpool!), we’ll stroll to the boat launch and follow the shoreline path to the carriage road south which will lead us to the Spring Trail trailhead marker. Short diversion hikes are along the carriage roads, the 115-ft long West Branch Bridge and the stunning Cliffside Bridge.

Back on the Spring Trail we’ll begin to hit the cliffs with a few iron handrails and thick log fences along the way. No worries, these initial trials will subside to easier terrain.

Adventurers will take their time at the summit, enjoying some chill moments. Eventually we’ll descend Penobscot into a small forested valley. As we ascend the other side, we’ll take in an enchanting isolated pond before the Sargent South Ridge Trail. Let’s dip our feet in!

After enjoying the summit of Sargent we’ll connect with our return trail, the East Cliffs Trail heading back towards Jordan Pond. The next stretch, the Deer Brook Trail, is a fairly rugged trail that follows a small stream; we’ll be on the lookout for exposed tree roots. At the carriage road is another wondrous bridge, the Deer Brook Bridge where we can continue down the trail to the scenic Jordan Pond Path or if head out quickly on the carriage road south back to the Jordan Pond House and parking areas.

Post hike, we’ll break into a tasty spread. MYA is hoping to catch a glimpse of the big moon that evening, not quite full but bound to be lovely.

* Please note, if two peaks are too much for you, you could hike Penobscot Mtn with us then head back down slowly to the car and we’d meet back up with you there for food time :)

Festivus Spa Adventure

Sale 20% off!

Join MYA & Sanctuary Spa as they come together for blissful spa time, soaking feet & crafting gifties for loved ones with a festivus spin on things. Adventurers will get in outdoors time with yoga and assembling a ‘night tree’ with edible decorations for wildlife.

Festivus (a friend brought it to MYA’s attention last xmas), originates from the '90s sitcom Seinfeld, an episode titled "The Strike," in which George Costanza's family celebrates Festivus as an alternative to Christmas.

The best part is that everyone can air their grievances, the best medicine, along with laughter, as we make our way into the holidays. We might leave out the feats of strength portion of Festivus, or maybe not…

Our adventure begins at Sanctuary playful and fun with an outdoors yoga flow, getting to know each other and getting hyped for spa time. We’ll then take it inside for a fabulous bath boutique session! Adventurers will get to make their own (or make gifties for others) divine liquid soap, body scrub, and perfume. Expert instruction will enable adventurers to assemble quality, eco-friendly bath products at home (for themselves or more gift giving).

Sanctuary will also set up soak stations to relax feet in whilst perhaps enjoying a beverage from MYA. Not only is there soaking but also the amazing post-soak foot massage. A delightful spread of vegetarian food will be at the ready!

Adventurers will eat, spa, and unload any and all of their grievances. You’ve got to let go of all of that angst :) Please know that as the adventure finale we’ll fix the karmic scale and share some goodness with the natural world. We’ll give back to wildlife with a ‘night tree’, a wonderful tradition of decorating a tree in the forest with food for birds and other woodland critters.

Based on the Night Tree, a book by Eve Bunting, a true gem, we’ll build some edible creations like peanut butter & bird seed coated cones, string popcorn & cranberries, and orange slices. Adventurers will head out into the night and find the perfect tree.

Don’t miss out on a festive festivus spa adventure with plenty of relaxation time, take home goodies, super yummy food, and outdoors yoga & nature fabulousness!

Cost: $100. Now $80

to Dec 10

Canceled: Outdoorsy Soaking & Skiing Santas Adventure

Sadness, had to cancel this adventure but hoping to get to the wonderful adventure house in Bethel sometime in the future :)

MYA is headed to Western Maine for some wicked fun, we’ll get in lots of outside time, relaxation in the hot tub, yoga, yummy eats, and skiing in your best Santa outfit! If we get some early snow (fingers crossed!), we’ll partake in snowtastic activities of snowga and cross-country skiing; if not, we can enjoy the hiking in the area which is fabulous. The final frolic will be downhill skiing at Sunday River if you’re up for it…

Friday afternoon/evening arrival time is flexible, there will be a happy hour and MYA will be offering up yummy vegetarian soup and more whenever the time is right. If you need to come late, no worries, we’ll feed you :) Adventurers have a private home to lounge and relax in; the 1870 farm home is in the heart of downtown Bethel with 4 bedrooms that sleep 12 comfortably with 2 bathrooms. A fav amenity is the hot tub which adventurers can indulge in whenever they like.

We can experience all that the sweet small town has to offer just minutes away from the home. We’ll be close to Gould Academy which makes for a very nice, walkable neighborhood with many surrounding farm-style residences; our prime location is very close to the local grocery store and numerous delightful restaurants.

Once we get closer and know what the weather holds, adventurers can decide to bring along your cross-country skis (definitely downhill skis or a snowboard) or snowshoes and get on the trails about a 15 minute walk away. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in Bethel is lovely, the fat biking trails may be groomed as well. Adventurers can even pop over to Carter’s Cross-Country Ski Center for more beautiful trails. If you need gear, please let MYA know. Don’t forget your sense of humor, your best snowsuit, and your best Santa suit!

After a yoga practice, a delicious breakfast, and outdoors activities on Saturday, folks can head into town for some free time or hang in the hot tub or cozy up on the couch. MYA will be handling a second vegetarian dinner in the evening.

Sundayfunday we’ll get up early for breakfast and yoga, and head out to Sunday River in Newry, just a ten minute drive. In full Santa attire (red Santa hat with white pompom, red Santa jacket, red Santa pants and Santa beard), we will celebrate the arrival of winter and the upcoming holiday season with more than 250 Santas cruising down to South Ridge! All money raised benefits the River Fund, a non-profit organization that supports youth education and recreation in the Bethel area. MYA will register adventurers ahead of time (open Nov 28th so please be sure to register for this adventure well in advance).

Adventurers will be sure to show up at the scheduled photo shoot at 11am, slopeside at South Ridge all dressed up. After the photo shoot, we will all go up South Ridge Express and then ski down Broadway, a beginner-friendly green trail. After the parade down Broadway, your ticket can get validated for the rest of the day and will receive an additional lift ticket valid until Christmas Eve. Super excited, MYA has always wanted to get in on the Santa Sunday!

Don’t miss out on this crazy fun, yummy, relaxing weekend in beautiful Bethel and beyond. If you’d like to come but want to opt out of the downhill Santa portion, no worries, there will be lots of quality adventuring time without it and you can always watch Santas coming down the mountain from the bottom :)

Cost: $400, includes two nights accommodations, two vegetarian dinners & breakfasts, happy hour, daily yoga, snowga, hot tubbing, night strolling, Santa Sunday, good vibes, great company

Skye will lead adventurers into a Dance Fitness class (with disco ball!), a high energy dance workout. Although choreographed, you do not need to be a dancer to enjoy. Moves are fun and easy to follow. Adventurers will have a blast dancing together; please feel free to get into your favorite 80’s workout gear!

Post all of that working out, adventurers will get a gentle yoga practice, stretching out any tight places. After lying on the floor comfy cozy with an appetite nicely built up, we’ll get into a spread of vegetarian favorites to replenish bodies, minds & spirits.

We’ll then head out of Acadia to downtown Bangor to the lovely Spiral Goddess Collective, a Center for Mind/Body Movement with 4th-floor views of the Kenduskeag River and surrounding area. MYA is super excited to partner with founder & visionary Sarah Hentges, who offers up weekly classes and monthly workshops that combine movement and music in unique and creative ways that are trauma-informed and open to a diversity of minds/bodies that require no previous experience.

Sarah wears many hats at the SGC and beyond. In addition to being a professor at UMA Bangor, she has taught a variety of fitness and yoga classes for over 25 years and for more than a decade in Bangor, on college campuses, at non-profit community centers, the YMCA, and gyms. For a long time she has dreamed of having her own space and doing her own thing, but she never thought something like The Spiral Goddess Collective would be possible. And then suddenly it was.

MYA will serve up a vegetarian spread to adventurers as they get cozy and relax into the space. With happy bellies we’ll explore our spiritual paths through Oracle card readings with Sarah leading us eventually to slow movement on the floor (literally lying down); a sweet calming dance of embodiment to finish up an awesome adventure.

Spring Fever Pop-Up Hiking Adventure

Heads ups, I changed the date from Sunday to sunny Saturday!

MYA is so ready to get on the trails at Acadia before all the tourists do! It’s spring and that means fabulous spring hiking in Maine’s National Park; this time adventurers will take on Sargent Mountain with stunning views and even a waterfall along the way…

Adventurers are looking at a 4.5 mile loop hike along the Hadlock Brook Trail, up to the summit and over to the Maple Spring Trail back down. We’ll come prepared with microspikes in case of an icy patch or two. The beginning of the trail is a slow, gradual climb alongside the brook and after roughly half a mile, the trail reaches the famous waterfall bridge and the Around-Mountain Carriage Road, its skewed arch perfectly frames the beautiful Hadlock Falls, one of the few waterfalls in the park. The hike will get a bit more intense with a steadier climb post falls but no worries, we’ll take our time breathing in the beauty (plenty of water and snack breaks!). At the summit we’ll go for some relaxation and a yoga flow, the length of which will be very weather dependent.

To head down we’ll hop on the maple ridge, a lesser used magical trail that travels alongside a stream as well. Please note, if this trail is closed, there are other options to bring us down :) Lovely portions of the carriage trail will be visited along with bridges, one of which is the hemlock bridge, another beauty. Adventurers will enjoy the stream crossings and the glacial formations along the way.

After hiking adventurers will enjoy some vegetarian food, feel free to bring along your fav beverage.

Let’s celebrate spring with a hike to bring in the season!

All will be bringing, not wearing, clean sneakers and wearing loose, warm clothing. Gloves and hats are useful. Layers are good - it’s about 40 degrees on the ice. Bad knees and hips are ok because, if necessary, you can use a stick. You must, however, have good balance. Let’s go yogis! Let’s team up, get competitive, and have a blast…

Adventurers will then head over to Waterfall Arts Center for more fun! In Belfast’s iconic, 80-year-old Gov. Anderson School, Waterfall Arts is Waldo County’s year-round community arts center with a global appeal. Over sixteen years, the founders, board and staff have developed hundreds of activities for thousands of visitors: arts exhibits, music and dance concerts, education in all creative media, events that support and nurture artists, farmers, life-long learners all with the intention to increase ability, expand awareness, and strengthen community.

We’ll be eating plenty of yummy vegetarian food, a hot soup, bread, cheese and dark chocolate - all of the goodness :) Then we’ll get into it, creating art in a grown-ups play date. MYA will delve into an art project perfect for the art-phobic and dabblers who are jealous of all the fun kids have in their art classes. It’ll be laid back, no-pressure experience in a judgement-free zone. We’ll have an art instructor all to ourselves to help us along. We’ll roll up our sleeves and have a wicked time…

Adventurers will love the groomed loop that takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete, the moon should light our way as the woods get darker but we can all bring along headlamps just in case :) Please know that you can snowshoe with a buddy if skiing isn’t your thing. Just getting out at night and adventuring into the woods under the stars and the big moon is so wonderful!

After our outdoors playtime, we’ll head into one of Orono’s local hang outs for a beverage. MYA is happy to purchase spirits but adventurers will cover their own eats. As we get closer, if the conditions are good, we can hit the sledding hill afterwards for a super fun ending!
