Live Mindfully (and Build Creatively!): Jen Deraspe of Nurture Through Nature Eco-Retreat

Today we’re diving back into some of my favorite topics: outdoor business building, life-long learning, and personal evolution! My guest is Jen Deraspe, owner of a lovely off-grid retreat property called Nurture Through Nature, located on Pleasant Mountain in Denmark, Maine.

Jen is truly the hostess with the mostest when it comes to all she offers through NTN - healing arts workshops and retreats, wellness coaching, qi gong, sauna, as well as more (so-called) traditional outdoor pursuits like camping, hiking and paddling.

I’ve had Nurture Through Nature on my radar for a long time, since my early days of yurt obsession (like 15 years ago?!?), so it was a true honor and privilege to get a back-stage pass to hear Jen’s stories about living more intentionally, listening to her heart and honoring her feelings, taking leap after leap into new and different things, and starting over again and again.

She’s also my new Maine-resourcefulness idol, as you’ll hear! (Got some cable? Drop it here!)

You can get all the details on Jen and her team, her Spirals of Wellbeing coaching services, her adorable yurts and cabins, and everything else NTN has to offer at NTNRetreats.com.
