Salt & Stillness
A Luxury Women’s Wellness Retreat on the
Coast of Maine
July 30 – August 3, 2026 | Bremen, Maine
A deeply restorative coastal retreat for women who are overstimulated, overextended, and ready to remember what it feels like to fully exhale.
Packages start at $1995
Come back to yourself by the sea.
There comes a point when pushing through stops working.
When your body is tired in a way sleep alone can’t fix.
When your mind feels loud, your nervous system feels frayed, and even the things you once loved feel harder to access.
Salt & Stillness was created for that woman.
The one who has spent years holding everything together.
The one who is capable, caring, strong, and quietly exhausted.
The one who doesn’t just need a vacation — she needs space to soften, breathe, and feel like herself again.
Set along the quiet, beautiful coast of Maine, this intimate luxury wellness retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise and into something slower, gentler, and deeply restorative.
For five days and four nights, you’ll be held in a thoughtfully curated experience of yoga, sound healing, nourishing food, ocean air, rest, beauty, and meaningful connection.
This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about returning to the version of you that’s been waiting underneath the noise.
WHAT THIS RETREAT IS
A coastal retreat designed for deep rest, nervous system healing, and reconnection
Salt & Stillness is a luxury women’s retreat in Maine designed for women who are feeling burned out, emotionally overloaded, disconnected from themselves, or simply overdue for real rest.
This experience was created to offer more than a beautiful getaway.
It was created to give your body a chance to unclench.
To let your mind quiet down.
To reconnect with your own rhythm again.
Through a blend of yoga, sound baths, nourishing meals, oceanfront beauty, unhurried mornings, and meaningful shared experiences, this retreat is designed to support restoration in a way that feels both elevated and deeply human.
This is for the woman who is tired of performing wellness and is ready to actually feel better.
Come see what a few nights of interrupted sleep, a coffee by the ocean, and someone else making dinner can really do for you.

why did we choose to host in maine?
There is something about the coast that restores people in a way words rarely capture.
The rhythm of the tide.
The scent of salt in the air.
The cool breeze off the water.
The way the ocean quietly reminds you that not everything needs to be rushed, solved, or controlled.
Bremen, Maine offers the kind of beauty that naturally slows the body down. It’s central to the deep coast of Maine, far beyond the kitchy touristy sites of southern Maine. We’ll be moments away from hidden gems like Boothbay Harbor, Maine or Damariscotta, Maine. We’ll explore the Pemaquid Lighthouse and a soak in a languid beach day on Pemaquid Beach. As a Mainer, these places are the true treasures of the coast and I can’t wait to share them with you.
This retreat was intentionally placed here because healing doesn’t only happen through practices like yoga or sound meditation, it also happens through environment.
Through beauty.
Through spaciousness.
Through place.
And just like shards of sea glass, this place knows how to soften people.

More intentional than vacation, More relaxing than a typical retreat
Salt & Stillness was created with the heart of a retreat and the hospitality of a luxury stay.
This is not a packed itinerary designed to keep you busy from sunrise to bedtime.
And it’s not a stripped-down, overly serious wellness experience either.
This retreat is intentionally designed to balance:
Deep rest and thoughtful structure
Healing and beauty
Nature and comfort
Meaningful connection and spacious alone time
Every detail is considered so you can arrive, exhale, and let yourself be taken care of. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone else drove, someone else knew about dinner reservations, someone else packed the cooler for once? Women suffer from chronic stress and decision fatigue more than anything else, what if you were taken care of in that nurturing way only other women understand how to do?
That means fewer logistics for you.
Less planning.
Less decision fatigue.
More receiving.
This is the kind of retreat that lets your shoulders drop by day two.
Meet Your hosts
My background is in hospitality and event design, creating spaces where people feel welcomed, cared for, and deeply considered.
As a survivor with PTSD, I’ve used travel, yoga, sound, meditation and somatic practices to heal. I pour all of this knowledge into my retreats for you.
Over time, that work became something more personal: creating retreats where women can truly exhale, reconnect with themselves, and feel held in ways that are rare in everyday life.
Every retreat I host is designed with beauty, intention, and nervous system safety in mind.
Salt & Stillness was created as a place where you don’t have to perform, produce, or hold everything together.
Just arrive.
And let yourself be cared for.
Kendall
I’m Kendall Lambert, the creator of Cup & Sage, and an intuitive guide dedicated to helping others find balance, healing, and self discovery. My journey into holistic wellness began with a deep passion for our natural world, self-care, energy work, and natural healing. When I struggled to find products that truly aligned with my values- pure, natural, and intentionally crafted- I started making my own. That passion grew into a business that not only offers handcrafted self-care products but also supports others on their person and spiritual journeys.
At Cup & Sage, my mission is to provide a space for healing - physically, emotionally, and energetically. I create all-natural bath, body and meditation products using only the highest-quality ingredients, free from toxin and unnecessary additives. I forage in the woods of Vermont or grow in my garden as many of the botanicals for my products as possible. Every product is infused with intention, designed to help you relax, recharge, and reconnect with yourself.
If your body has been asking for a pause, this is your invitation.

You are allowed to choose rest now.
You are allowed to choose softness now.
You are allowed to choose an experience that gives something back to you.
Salt & Stillness is an intimate retreat with limited availability.
If this is speaking to you, trust that.

That’s completely okay and honestly, very common.
This retreat is designed for women who are often carrying a lot. There is no pressure to perform, overshare, or be constantly social. You’ll be welcomed exactly as you are, and there will be space for both connection and solitude. I make an announcement at the beginning of the retreat that all should feel free to focus on themselves guilt free.
