How Do I Get There?
The retreats are located in Windham, NY, in the Catskill Mountains. Windham is about two-and-a-half hours by car and train from New York City and the tri-state area. To travel by train, take Amtrak’s Empire State line to the Hudson stop. From there it’s a 35-minute cab ride to Windham. We can provide cab recommendations, and try to connect you with anyone else traveling by train. To travel by plane, fly into Albany International Airport, which is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Windham.
