|
Rowland Meeting Rooms
|
Rowland has four meeting spaces on the first floor. The Ziegler Room is the largest of the meeting rooms and can be laid out in many different ways, from living room style to classroom or workshop style. The Murray Room is a recently renovated space and is a cozy and comfortable space filled with couches and chairs. Additionally, there are two smaller meeting rooms off the theater: The North Room and the recently renovated South Room which has its own bathroom included.

Quillen Lobby & Dolphin Room
|
|
The Quillen Lobby with its working fireplace is a cozy, yet non-private meeting space.
The Dolphin Room is Ferry Beach's old dining hall, which was converted to a large meeting space in 2012. When empty of furniture it functions as a dance rehearsal or yoga space, and with tables and chairs it easily conforms to a meeting room, art studio, writing sanctuary, or quilting party. |
Dining Center
|
The newest addition to the Ferry Beach campus is the DeWolfe Dining Hall & Blanche Rowland Kitchen. Built in 2011, the Dining Hall is an open, airy space to meet for meals and when planned in advance, other gatherings.

|
Cross Basement

the Beach
|
Our private oceanfront is located at the Southern tip of a 7 mile stretch of sandy beach - the longest in Maine. Enjoy lazy afternoons bathing in the sun, or go for a long walk with a friend.
The beach is also a gathering places for a variety of conferences and workshops: early morning meditation, yoga at sunrise, rituals at dawn, sandcastle building competitions, photography, dance, drum circles, and, of course, kayaking. Ferry Beach does not have professional lifeguards on staff so please be attentive to your child(ren). Children are always the responsibility of their guardians. |
|
Chapel
|
As a retreat and conference center committed to personal and community transformation, each morning and many evenings at Ferry Beach, opportunity to explore and worship Spirit individually and with others is available. A beautiful grove of trees is the most transcendent place to sing, meditate, and listen to a speaker share his/her personal journey of transformation.
The Chapel is a gathering space for the entire Ferry Beach community - conferees, vacationers, and neighbors alike are all invited to daily morning worship services. |
Fire Pit
|
The main entrance to the Grove is a large clearing with a fire pit surrounded by benches. The perimeter of the clearing is perfect for RV camping.
Many evenings at Ferry Beach begin with a campfire. Songs and stories are exchanged; s'mores are roasted and enjoyed; memories and friends are made; and the crisp Maine air encourages us all to become more of who we are, as individuals and as a community. |
|
Rose Pavilion
|
The Rose Pavilion is a rustic, multifunctional space in the Grove. Depending on chair configuration, it can be a large meeting hall, a performance space, a party room, a worship service in the round, or an intimate gathering next to the fireplace. Popular during special events in the Grove for food station set-up or small parties, its rustic nature allows guests to bring their own creativity and DIY skills to this woody space.
|
|
Screen Room
|
It doesn't hold many people and it has few amenities to boast of (wicker furniture and a power outlet), but this tiny space bursts with character. The Screen House is perfect for writing, listening, sharing, planning, or trying something new.
|
Porches
|
The Ferry Beach porches are favorite gathering spaces. Quillen, Rowland, and the Dining Hall all have large porches with rocking chairs. Underwood has a swinging bench and Gardiner comfortable chairs.
It is not surprising to hear music, laughter, and the ocean waves from these porches. They are beloved spaces of gathering for families, friends, workshops, and Ferry Beach staff alike. |
