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 to Hudson, NY. 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.

What Are the Curated Activities?
Each retreat features experiences led by members of The Catskills Women’s Collective, a group of local small-business owners that regularly meets to support each member’s individual initiatives. The activities may include candle making, forest bathing, learning a new art technique, private yoga class, or meditation.
