Long before GPS navigation and detailed paper charts, lighthouses guided watermen safely through shallow waters and away from dangerous terrain. The Cove Point Lighthouse in Calvert County is Maryland’s oldest continuously operating lighthouse. Built in 1828 on just four acres of land, it was designated to mark one of the narrowest parts of the Chesapeake Bay and guide ships safely into the Patuxent River.

Our weekend retreat accommodates 3-4 individuals overnight for 3 nights/4 days in the Keeper’s House and other participants for afternoon sessions from 2-4 p.m. on Monday, October 10 and Tuesday, October 11.

What we will do:

Explore the various ways we metaphorically rely upon ‘light’ to guide us through times of uncertainty and change. We’ll dive into the historical importance of lighthouses and how, still today, they are a perfect symbol of guidance. Are you a lighthouse? A healer, teacher, beacon of joy? Who do you look to for compassion and direction?

Guides and Tools:

U.S. Lighthouse docent/guide, Jung symbolism, tour of Calvert Marine Museum, journal writing, evening storytelling, and outdoor meditation.

What you will get:

Overnight participants will book for 3 nights/4 days; Meals are not provided, however, there is a kitchen on the premises. All guests will receive TWMM journal, admission to Calvert Marine Museum, complimentary parking, wifi, and access to grounds. This is for a very limited number of participants.
