Blessings at Bellport Inn

Our retreat in Bellport, NY, began with an enchanting check-in at the stunning Bellport Inn, a cottage that radiated all the beach vacation vibes you could ever want. To kick off our getaway, I whipped up a family-sized serving of shrimp and grits paired with warm, flaky biscuits, setting the stage for a delightful dinner filled with laughter and getting to know one another. After our meal, we ventured to the nearby beach for a soothing group meditation and journaling session, followed by an impromptu playground adventure that let our inner children shine. The evening ended perfectly with gooey s'mores around the fire, a fitting cap to our first day.

The following morning started with a delicious breakfast that fueled our bodies for a rejuvenating yoga session and group meditation that almost lulled us into blissful nap time! We embraced the beauty of the beach again, soaking in the sun and serenity. Later, we were treated to a culinary masterpiece by the incredibly talented Chef Cheryl G. of Charas Kitchen & Catering, who prepared a sumptuous dinner featuring salmon, Alfredo pasta, and fresh salad. Her presence elevated our family dinner into a truly memorable experience.

On our final day, we made our way to Mother’s Beach, a breathtaking spot where some of us meditated, others created art, and a few succumbed to the sweet embrace of a peaceful nap. After basking in the sun and sharing stories, we returned home for our farewell dinner, prepared by Kreaytion, featuring a delicious vegan curry and rice. As the sun set, we gathered around the fire for one last round of s'mores and a movie, cherishing the memories we created together. We drifted off to sleep, already dreaming of our next adventure as we prepared to say goodbye to our charming cottage in the morning.
