Sewall House was established in 1870 and has a rich history of nurturing and healing for both body and soul. Yoga instructor Donna Sewall Davidge's great grandfather ran Sewall House as a welcoming informal Inn where the likes of a young Theodore Roosevelt healed from their ailments( asthma in his case) and escaped from the stress of city living. Island Falls now has around 700 inhabitants and the town is full of rivers, lakes and swimming holes and only 30 miles from the North entrance of Baxter State Park, an untouched preserved haven for hiking and for climbers to do Mt Katahdin, the great one. Donna ( Amrita) and her Swedish husband musician and songwriter Kent Bonham operate the Sewall House as a place for people to come while going through the changes and challenges of living in the 21st century, get a flavor for simpler times and learn tools for healthy living such as drug and alcohol free environment with healthy organic vegetarian meals, meditation, yoga for any level, massage and the great outdoors. Sewall House is currently open from June 15 to Columbus day and most years offers a Christmas Retreat as well. Donna brings over 20 years of teaching experience and both Donna and Kent bring a deep love of yoga and belief in the benefits a yoga lifestyle has to offer. Without pressure, but more by example, they offer an opportunity for groups and singles to experience this lifestyle in an easy going environment. Island Falls offers two large beautiful lakes for swimming, canoing and kayaking as well as a local swimming hole!
