Monhegan Island Restorative Retreat
Monhegan Island, Maine ~ June 2026
Step away. Breathe deep. Come home to yourself.
Imagine a week where your mornings start with yoga and fresh ocean air, where you hike rugged coastal trails, share meals with friends who feel like family, and end the day stargazing under skies so dark you can see the Milky Way.
This is Monhegan Island — a place of artists, seabirds, and wild beauty — and in June 2026, Blaze is taking you there.
What’s Included
Round-trip boat ride to and from Monhegan Island
Three nights lodging at the historic Monhegan House
Daily yoga and meditation led by Blaze instructors
Guided hiking, bird-watching, and stargazing adventures
Cozy mornings with baked goods + coffee for early risers
Legendary three-course breakfast every day
Family-style dinners shared with your Blaze community each night
Free time to explore art galleries, local cafés, and the Monhegan Brewery
What Makes Monhegan Special
An (almost) car-free island: Quiet paths and trails instead of traffic
Wildlife paradise: Puffins, warblers, wood cocks and more during migration season. If we’re lucky, we’ll see porpoises, seals, and even a Humpback whale!
Artists’ haven: Home to galleries, painters, and writers for over 100 years
Twelve miles of world-class trails: From forests to seaside cliffs, you’ll hike it all
Night skies: With no light pollution, the stars feel close enough to touch
Great food: island-roasted coffee and the best fish sandwich you’ve ever tasted are just starters on the island
A strong island community: dedicated to preservation of nature, history, art, and each other
Why Travel with Blaze
Work Hard, Recover Harder
We love going all in — pushing hard in class, tackling challenges, chasing goals. But here’s the truth: recovery is where the magic happens. Think big breakfasts, belly laughs, long hikes, and starry skies. This retreat is built to balance the grind with the good stuff: time to move, time to learn, and plenty of time to just be.
Who This Retreat is For
If you’ve been running on empty and need a true reset
If you crave connection with others who care about health and joy
If you want to move, breathe, and laugh without the pressures of daily life
If you love nature, art, and the feeling of being fully alive

Historic Monhegan House
Housing Guests Since 1870
Perched on a hill overlooking Monhegan Harbor, the historic Monhegan House has been welcoming island visitors for more than 150 years. With 28 bright, airy rooms, the inn blends timeless New England charm with simple, comfortable accommodations. Many rooms offer sweeping views of the ocean, lighthouse, or village, while cozy common spaces and wide porches invite guests to slow down and take in the scenery.
The Monhegan House kitchen is known for its generous hospitality, deliscious food made with fresh Maine ingredients, and warm, fluffy down blankets (as the Inn has no heat or A/C). The plentiful bathrooms and showers are communal and there’s always coffee, tea, and baked goods to be had. You’ll love the inn’s relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that has made it the heart of the island for generations of travelers.
