Knitting designer and author Lisa Evans has created another wonderful retreat designed to restore and renew you on every level. Our schedule… …Everyday will gently flow from one activity to the next and will vary as weather, time, and energy permits. As always, relaxation and fun will be our guides as all activities are optional and we adapt to the slow, gentle, and casual pace of island life. A typical morning will include breakfast in the sunny dining room with an array of delightful house made selections, followed by an island walk, and an energizing yoga session led by Melora. Lunch, on your own, may be had at any of the many island restaurants and followed by time to do just as you please. Inviting Adirondack chairs on the lawn, rocking chairs on the porch, artists studios, galleries, shops, and wooded paths begging to be explored abound. The afternoon continues with a knitting workshop and tea time at the inn. Each day will feature a class led by either Lisa or Susan, who will share with you their own unique style and knowledge of knitting techniques and projects. A restorative yoga session follows to refresh you before dinner. Dinner at the Monhegan House is always superb. Our menu, which includes a vegetarian option, will range from freshly caught seafood to artisan pizza to a lobster feast on our final evening together. Though wine is not sold in restaurants on the island, you may bring your own. Many of the island shops carry a large and interesting selection of beers and wine that can be served for you by the wait staff. After dinner you may retire, go for a moonlight walk, or spend it in the relaxing living room of the inn by the fire visiting. Laughter and fun abound in the evening while sharing our experiences of the day. This year… Susan will teach… two classes in textured and lace knitting featuring yarns from her Nashua Handknits line of yarns. Her classes take basic techniques and teach how to use them in new and an infinite variety of combinations to create your own unique project. Lisa will lead… a workshop on Intarsia color knitting. She will lead you through this seemingly difficult technique step-by-step with a simple project. Melora will lead… two daily yoga sessions, suitable for all levels of students. The morning class will flow with a theme woven through the postures, helping us understand movement and alignment, enjoying the freedom and radiance generated by an active practice. Afternoon class will include therapeutic yoga to help those with injuries, stretches to relieve fatigue from hiking or knitting, and deeply restorative poses to relax and de-stress. Mary Alice will… treat every one of us to an hour long full body massage. As only a truly experienced and intuitive body worker can, she will relieve you of tension, aches and pains with sensitivity and care. Patty will… lead our daily island walks guided by the experience, abilities, and desires of those joining her. Her enthusiasm, humor, and smile are contagious!
