Reset Your Mental Health with Tools for Body and Mind

Join other creative women in deep care of your body, mind, and heart. Over 6 blissful days, we’ll absorb what the healing arts and mother nature’s deep wellness offer us.

This Mental Health Nature Retreat offers a quiet sojourn to recapture your well-being in a friendly yogic setting that includes healthful meals, twice-daily yoga classes, mindfulness training, integrative workshops, forest and water bathing, and deep connections. Morning meditations are done in noble silence, and Ajeet gives each participant a mini-Reiki session as part of the retreat.

Deeper Healing Sessions and Dynamic Reiki treatments are available at an extra cost.

I’ve known Ajeet for more than 20 years and she helped me heal from cancer while going through chemotherapy. When my cancer came back 20 years later, I again went to her for help. She specializes in women’s health and healing. She knows how bodies work and how they need to be in order to facilitate maximum healing. She’s intuitive and knowledgeable about how to help and her kindness helps the person relax. I would certainly recommend her for any physical or mental or spiritual healing needed.— Ann S., Executive Director

I did a women’s retreat with Ajeet and my expectations were exceeded. She is such an amazing earth momma who has a beautiful way of helping people through whatever it is they are going through. She is also very good at bringing joy and playfulness. I really can’t say enough about this place and Ajeet, it was a life changing experience.— Claire, September 2024

How to book Dynamic Healing sessions

  • Book massage or Reiki healing with Ajeet upon arrival
The women’s mental health retreat was transformative. I felt emotionally lighter after attending this retreat filled with rejuvenating yoga, meditation, and nature walks and swims. My mom and I went together, and it was healing for both of us. Ajeet’s individual and group sessions allowed me to experience different perspectives so I didn’t feel as stuck in the same pattern. The peaceful environment of the beautiful Maine outdoors enhanced the experience. Ajeet’s skill as a healer and yogi is unparalleled! I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to feel more peaceful and energized in their daily lives.— Alice, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

About Svaroopa® Yoga

During the week-long retreat, you’ll learn Svaroopa® yoga, a simple and slow yogic practice that helps you to release your spine and apply this deeper release to your whole life. Svaroopa® yoga is Hatha yoga, with self-awareness involved. This is a path of both self-effort and grace, says Swami Nirmalananda, founder of Svaroopa®. Self-effort is very important: you must apply yourself to the practices. Yet, on a path of Grace, you have to remember to make space for something more to happen. This is what Svaroopa® yoga excels at and why it is the best yoga for retreat, especially for the mental health relief it provides.

From Ajeet

Why I Do This Work

Losing my mother when I was sixteen began a lifelong search for love, understanding, and a deeper relationship with life. Through my own experiences, yoga, nature, spiritual practice, and creative community, I discovered ways to meet life’s difficulties with greater compassion and curiosity.

Today, I bring that understanding to my work with others. Whether we meet in a yoga class or an individual session, my intention is to offer a welcoming space where you can breathe, feel heard, and explore new possibilities without judgment or pressure.

My approach is grounded in decades of study and practice, a love of the earth, and a belief that we can continue to grow at every stage of life.

I welcome you to study with me ~ let’s work together. You don’t need to know exactly what you are seeking. You might simply be ready for more ease, a quieter mind, a caring yoga community, or a new way to care for yourself. See you there!
