Shaping Change Through Nature Connection

Immersive Nature Experiences for Personal & Collective Transformation

Walking Our Songline

At Northern Songlines, our approach is rooted in the belief that nature is our greatest teacher. We guide individuals, couples and groups through immersive experiences that blend wildlife tracking, somatic awareness, and deep connection with the Earth. Our songline fosters personal transformation, mindfulness, and a profound sense of reciprocity between self, community, and the natural world. We invite you to join us on this journey.

Inclusivity & Belonging

At Northern Songlines, we honor and welcome individuals from all walks of life. Our programs and retreat spaces are open to people of all identities, including BIPOC communities,  LGBTQIA2+ individuals, those practicing conscious non-monogamy, neurodivergent individuals, those with disabilities, and highly sensitive persons (HSPs). We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued, fostering a culture of respect, mutual understanding, and belonging. We believe that diversity enriches our shared experiences, and we strive to ensure our practices and spaces are accessible, inclusive, and supportive for all.

We’ve designed a variety of options to fit your unique needs, interests, and capacities. Explore and find your best fit.

“Of course the mind keeps
cool in its hidden palace–yes, the mind takes a long time, is otherwise occupied than by happiness, and deep breathing. Still, at last, it comes too, running like a wild thing, to be taken
with its twin sister, breath.”

Guest Reflections

"Absolutely stunning property full of adventure. We will definitely be coming back!"
Hannah
"This was one of our best stays ever. Rebecca and Dave are incredible hosts. Their property is beautiful and isolated — a wonderful place to recharge. For those interested in fishing, keep in mind that this stretch of the Magalloway is fly fishing only w/barbless hooks. 10/10 would recommend!"
Brayden
"As a fly fisherman with my father and son for the weekend, the place was perfect. Beautiful surroundings, trout right off the property and local guide recommendations. My son loved the fireflies at night and we even saw a moose on the way into Rangeley one morning. I will definitely be back."

"We had a wonderful weekend staying here! It was exactly what we were looking for and offered a private space with beautiful surroundings to relax and enjoy the mountains and river. We will definitely look to stay here again if we return to the area in the future!"

"Hello Fellow Travelers. There are many things we look for when we choose a vacation spot. In our case, we were looking for a place to unplug. We chose Rebecca and David's for the perfect solitude we needed and found there. With it's beauty and undeniably peaceful surroundings both inside and out, it draws you in and fills you with a sense of belonging. These are valuable qualities that bring people together. I encourage solitary visitors, couples, families and friends to slow down the pace of everyday life with a visit to Halfmoon Homestead."

"A beautifully serene spot. We woke up and went to sleep listening to the sounds of nature. The house had all the amenities we needed for a weekend away from home with two teens. It was also the perfect location for all of our outdoor adventures in western Maine. We hiked in nearby Oquossoc and kayaked the Magalloway. The hosts, Becca and Dave, were very responsive and helpful with hiking, boating and lunch tips. Would love to stay there again!"
