The Blackberry Cottage: Sunrise, Sunset and Star filled Quarry at Night

I will long remember the special experience I had at 3 AM seeing the stars reflected brightly in the water,as if shining up from the quarry floor. The shooting stars were beautiful. ~ Debbie Chadwick

  • A Mystical Place

    ". . . I have enjoyed this mystical place. I walked to the Bragdon Quarry each day, what peace! Most evenings I went to the stone circle to watch the sunset. Never have I felt so relaxed. I will long remember the special experience I had at 3 AM seeing the stars reflected brightly in the water, as if shining up from the quarry floor. The shooting stars were beautiful. This evening while I was washing dishes a doe and her fawn stood in the clearing for several minutes rubbing noses and eating grass. What a gift Light Heart presents! Thank you for sharing, Ill be back!" -- Debbie, Maine

  • What your Teenager Craves

    We miss the calm and "freedom" of Light Heart Retreat and my children aren't giving us any other options this year, other than our return. My children have all written about their experience at LHR and its meaning to them on several occasions this year at school and carry LHR peace with them throughout their daily lives. I knew it would be a powerful journey for me, but never in a million years did I think it would have the effect that it did on my teenagers...what a wonderful blessing. ~Love~ Charlotte, Jason Jason, Hannah and Celena Granito 3/21/2012

  • A Place to Receive Redemption

    Todd and I are deeply grateful for our time here. We unwound. A week isn’t enough to do justice the area and spend time soaking, breathing, sorting through. We’ve had a very difficult past year. It’s been quite overwhelming...One day at a time works, but at some point one has to recognize the patterns of loss, grief and redemption. Light Heart Retreat supported this process as we had time and space to talk, laugh, cry and make plans...We hope that everyone after us enjoy this place as much as we did. Many, many thoughtful touches and our needs were anticipated in advance--very nicely done! With gratitude. ~ Elizabeth & Todd, NY July 13, 2011

  • Plenty to Do & Eat!

    We’ve had a wonderful week here! Swimming in the quarry, reading on the deck, cooking seaffood dinners and just relaxing. What a comfortable, beautiful place you guys have created. We will certainly spread the word at home. Highlights were kayaking at sunset from Hancock point, biking around Schoodic Point, hiking the Precipice trail, cooking at eating lobsters we bought locally, and hiking Dorr and Cadillac mountains...I loved the sweet window seat as a breezy place to read and nap... Many thanks to Joanna and David for their hospitality! ~ Lynn, Steve & Hanna, NC July 23, 2011

  • Away from the Hustle & Bustle

    We came to Maine this week to have a quiet week away from the true hustle/bustle of our daily lives in the city after dropping our youngest son off at a sleep away camp. We had struggled with what kind of vacation to take. Should we stay close and visit the Cape or make the drive north to a more remote place? Light Heart Retreat and the Huckleberry cottage have provided a very quiet and thoughtfull week for us. We’ve read lots, cooked every meal (a treat for busy working parents), biked around Schoodic Point and Hancock Point. We hiked in Acadia and most thrillingly at the Black Mountain Loop trail in East Sullivan. We only saw two other hikers and we were rewarded with a view more spectacular than Cadillac--without a crowd. When we got to the bottom we swam in Donell’s Pond. Best Finds: Sullivan Smoked Fish Market and Barter Family Gallery. The hot tub has been a lovely treat that we enjoyed daily. I know that when we return to our daily busy lives we’ll draw strength from the quiet and nature we soaked in while here. Many thanks. ~ Susan & David, MA July 31, 2011
