About Us

My primary responsibilities include: research, marketing and reaching out to the community. The two halls (Denis and Eugene) are open to business and social retreats and conferences. Meals may be included, depending upon how long guests wish to stay. Our dining room manager will gladly work with guests regarding menus. The conference rooms are mobile, in that, guests may arrange them as suits their needs.

Denis Hall holds the larger conference room - which boasts a new, large tv screen, two smaller meeting areas, and a chapel.

Eugene Hall is a little more private - a bit removed from the day-to-day flow of the Center.

Both halls provide overnight accommodations with 2 twin beds, a few room offer 3-4 twin beds, all rooms have sinks. Some have shared baths, others, the bathrooms and showers are located at the end of the hall. There are accommodations for those who may need handicap accessibility.

We do give tours - please contact us to set up a time: 207-324-6160, Sue Cass, Manager and myself.

More to come...thank you!

How We Got Started

Actually, the nitty-gritty...The Shakers were the first to establish the Campus in the late 1700s. They built a faith-based community. Then sold to the Brothers of Christian Instruction in the 1930s. The Spiritual Center was a junior high for a period of time, then a college, and now a venue for retreats, professional conferences, and celebrations.

Sounds like removing the alcohol would be the first thing to do.  Maybe board games?  Divide into groups?  Tabu is great - lots of fun.  Monopoly?    Or, google: Christmas office party games.

You could use this time to maybe do some fun team-building and improve relationships amongst all workers.  Games offer a means to connect and communicate.  Maybe something that isn't hugely competitive.  Merry Christmas - hope you find something!!!

We ask everyone to fill out a brief, but rather comprehensive evaluation sheet before our guests leave.  Plus, we just ask, person-to-person.  Negative and positive comments we listen to and appreciate.  The important piece, is not to take anything said, personally.  Feedback is helpful and we do...

Basically, if you do not honor and respect your customers, you won't have any and will lose business.  Research will back this up as well.  If their expectations are high, than I think that is a good thing, too.  Because it shows that as a business, you are delivering.  Kind of a two-edged sword,...

Bring someone with you and stay together. Great question. This would be a tough situation for real estate agents, carpenters, electricians, etc. Those who have to go into homes to service something or do work of some kind.

This would be a tough situation for real estate agents, carpenters, electricians, etc. Those who have to go into homes to service something or do work of some kind. Maybe having a co-worker call frequently just so the homeowner knows you are and will be expecting calls. And if you don't pick up, they may think something is not the way it should be.
