Cultivating joy off the coast of Maine
JOY FARM is an island home for art, spirit, and slow change. Here, in the Gulf of Maine, you are invited to gather in small circles and one‑to‑one to listen, create, and tend the quiet questions at the center of a life.
Balance,
Acceptance,
& Radicality.
Life at JOY FARM centers around seasonal gatherings, one-on-one counsel, and dedicated creative practice. The guiding principles of Balance, Acceptance, and Radicality thread through everything done here.
You may come to JOY FARM to be guided — in small groups or one‑to‑one — by me and other teachers. Others may simply come to experience the magic of place itself, letting the space hold their questions.
When you're unsure, JOY FARM is a place to go when you need room to listen to your life and explore what’s changing.
Four seasonal gatherings invite you into the island’s quiet rhythm, offering a soulful space for slow contemplation and shared creativity. Together, we tend to our inner lives through art, ritual, and mindful community, celebrating the unique beauty of every passing season.
Community
These seasonal gatherings offer a healing, restful environment for people who prefer simple living. You’ll share a stay in one of the island’s homes and enjoy communal meals that I plan and prepare.
There is a profound magic in intentional community. We come together periodically to weave these diverse spiritual threads into a shared experience, allowing you to carry these blended philosophies and sacred practices back to your own life to transform your personal world.
