By fall of 2020, our community in Maine was feeling pretty beat up. We had lost the fight against LD 798 the previous year, then we lost a people's veto attempt, combined with the pandemic hitting, the subsequent lockdowns, and facing the reality of mandates that we all knew was coming. In an effort to heal, and find our fight again, the first ever Health Choice Maine Retreat came to fruition.

That first year in 2020, we were probably idealistic trying to plan a 2-day event! We had less than 500 members, and there were still heavy covid restrictions in place, so we had to limit attendance to 50 people- including leadership and speakers. Realistically we were out of our depth, and each of us were doing our best and crossing our fingers that we didn't screw up terribly. But none of us could have predicted the magic that was about to happen.

In a rinky-dink tent we bought for $300, wrapped in blankets and eating lobster my husband cooked while we watched Dr. Andy Wakefield's documentary- a group of families came together and found peace, healing, and hope.

The tent did not survive past the weekend, but the connections and relationships built that weekend did. Since then, the weekend retreat has become a staple event that so many of us look forward to.

Now as the government encroaches further into our lives, as they attempt to claim control over more aspects of our lives, we're all feeling pretty beat up. So many Mainers are on the verge of losing hope and giving up.

Now, more than ever, our people need to find their fight again.

This year we are bringing together an eclectic group of speakers. Each of our speakers are walking examples of what we can do when we don't give up, we push back, seek justice, and refuse to give up.

So come spend a weekend with us, and experience the healing, hope, and inspiration for yourself.

We will answer all of your questions about our lawsuit options. You will learn all about the evolution and the weaponization of public health. We will lay out in detail, the state's use of education reform to usurp parental rights and show you their plans for your children. And we will discuss how we can prevent this and take back our rights.
