Visit Rootsong

Land. Movement. Community. Space to Arrive Fully.

Rootsong rests on 26 wooded acres on unceded Wabanaki land. ( Now called Lincolnville, Maine ) A generous stretch of forest, field, trails, and open sky.

This is a working homestead and healing space where yoga, bodywork, land stewardship, and daily life weave together. When you visit, you step into a living ecosystem. One that includes gardens, wildlife, shared rhythms, and evolving community.

Here, the pace softens.
Breath deepens.
Movement feels natural.

The Land

The property unfolds as a spacious rectangle surrounded by trails. The prior steward opened and maintained paths that now connect to a wider trail network through the surrounding woods. In every season, walking, hiking, and winter exploration are part of daily life.

You’ll find:

  • Mixed hardwood and evergreen forest (oak, maple, birch, pine, spruce)

  • A seasonal pond full of spring and early summer life

  • Expanding gardens and fruit trees

  • Berry patches and many flowers scattered throughout

  • Wildlife, including an owl family who makes their presence known

The land feels secluded and quiet while still connected to the broader Lincolnville landscape. It offers spaciousness without isolation.

This is a place where trails invite wandering.
Where fields hold morning light.
Where forest edges soften the nervous system.

A Living Homestead

Rootsong is not a staged retreat center.
It is a lived-in, evolving homestead.

Gardens grow larger each year.
Fruit trees deepen their roots.
Infrastructure improves season by season.

Guests experience:

  • Expanding permaculture-style garden beds

  • A growing orchard of fruit trees and berries

  • Low-tox living practices

  • Composting systems and thoughtful waste reduction

  • Solar installation expanding across buildings

This is land stewardship in practice, embodied, imperfect, real, and intentional.

Movement & Healing on the Land

Rootsong is a place where embodied practices feel natural within the landscape.

Yoga sessions may take place indoors or outdoors depending on season and weather. Trails become walking meditations. Gardens become grounding spaces. Breath and movement extend beyond the mat.

Bodywork sessions unfold in a dedicated studio space within the main house, offering steady, respectful, collaborative care.

The environment itself supports regulation:

  • Forest canopy quiets the mind.

  • Open fields allow expansion.

  • Seasonal rhythms guide energy and rest.

Healing here includes:
Movement.
Touch.
Soil.
Sunlight.
Shared meals.
Silence.
Play.

The Ancestor Garden (In Progress)

An emerging space on the land is being shaped as a quiet garden for reflection and honoring lineage.

Fruit trees, a stone monument, and a simple gateway design will create a place for contemplation, remembrance, and intention setting.

This garden reflects an understanding that healing often includes relationship, with those who came before us, with land, and with the unseen threads that shape our lives.

It offers space for presence and reverence in a grounded, accessible way.
