Welcome

Fifth House Lodge is a retreat located one hour west of Portland in Maine's lake and mountain country. Set on a high hill with wide views of earth and sky, it is a place of extraordinary simplicity, beauty and peace.

Joan Lee Hunter, director of Fifth House Lodge, is a private writing coach and expressive writing teacher offering personalized writing retreats for individuals and group writing workshops. She also conducts several group retreats throughout the year.

Joan works with writers of all experience levels. Beginners gain confidence in their expressive ability, while seasoned writers find new ways to mine and develop material. Those who come to Fifth House Lodge to work with Joan include those who wish to use writing as a tool for self-exploration and healing, as well as those who wish to become better storytellers.

The writing work that Joan facilitates is deep, powerful and unblinking.
