Cosmic Circle Summer Camp Retreat: Primary Bedroom — Dennis, MA

The Cosmic Circle Summer Camp Retreat is an in-person wellness retreat weekend in Dennis, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, led by yoga teacher, artist and transformational coach Melissa Staxfeld. This listing is for the Primary Bedroom option, one of three room choices for the weekend. It suits creatives and anyone who wants to step away from routine and spend time with a small community, with room for rest, play and clarity.

What to Expect

Melissa describes her retreats as immersive, in-person experiences that combine coaching, movement, meditation and community in a supportive setting. The aim is a reset: space to reconnect with yourself and leave with a clearer sense of direction. The weekend takes its tone from a line she uses across her work: peace is my baseline, play is my priority, abundance is my outcome.

Expect a weekend rather than a long residential stay, with the emphasis on being together. Melissa's approach treats community as medicine, so the group is part of the practice and not a backdrop to it.

About Melissa Staxfeld

Melissa Staxfeld is an artist, yoga teacher and transformational coach. She helps creatives reconnect with their worth, trust their intuition and grow into aligned, abundant lives through coaching, yoga, workshops and retreats. Her work rests on a few ideas: self-worth before strategy, intuition as a guide, embodiment over mindset alone, and community as medicine.

She studied Studio Art in college and still paints, believing that practicing our gifts is essential to living fully. She later worked as a middle school art teacher and became a yoga instructor. She moved from Massachusetts to Connecticut and built a community there that she is proud of. After almost five years, she and her husband spent a summer in Bali and then moved back to Massachusetts, where she followed her curiosity into health and transformational coaching.

The Setting

The retreat takes place in Dennis, Massachusetts. Guests choose a room for the weekend. Along with the Primary Bedroom, the other options are the Queen Loft and the Upstairs Queen, so this is a shared-house style stay and not a single-room booking at a hotel. The Primary Bedroom is the room this listing covers.

Before You Go

This is a retreat for people who want to slow down, and the material names no prior experience as a requirement. If you practice yoga or meditation already, you will find familiar ground. If you do not, the invitation is the same: come as you are, ready to be among others.

Because the rooms are limited and the group is kept intimate, it is worth deciding early which room suits you. Anyone curious about Melissa's style before committing can look at her other offerings, which include virtual workshops built around guided meditation, embodiment practices and EFT tapping, and one-day local retreats that pair yoga flow with art, reflection and oracle readings.
