As you can see from our program listings below, The Gathering Inn is not taking a summer vacation. We have many yummy things planned for you. And we have some open dates when you could book a night or two to get out of the hot noisy city, relax, read, listen to the birds and the crickets, gaze at the stars.

 

Don't let the whole summer go rushing by from one beach day to another cookout to that long road trip. Give yourself the gift of quiet renewal this summer.  

 

You'll be glad you did!

  

MERRY'S MUSINGS:

Memories of Summer Rain

 

I'm sitting here listening to a soft summer rain... which sounds and smells and feels entirely different from rain in any other season...  and it evokes for me memories of my childhood.  My family went to Moody Beach every summer and rented a wonderful, big old cottage right on the beach with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins.

 

Every scorching hot afternoon we kids were allowed to...

girlsrock"Girls Rock!" Retreat

August 3-4

For Mothers/Daughters/Granddaughters

Facilitated by Merry Cole

 

It is so important for the generations of women to spend time together, to share their stories, their wisdom, their innocence, and their hopes and dreams.   In today's fast paced, action-oriented life, we don't often get off the gerbil wheel of busyness and really be present to our young women and just have "girl time" fun.

 

This retreat is open to Mothers and Daughters (or Granddaughters) who are in Fourth Grade through Twelfth Grade.   We will have age appropriate activities.

 

Cost:  $75 per person;     family maximum $200

 

Space is limited.    Registration deadline is July 13th.
