Event Information


Escape with us for a magical wilderness adventure by the lake in Harriman State Park, NY. Our time together will be filled with yoga, meditation, contemplation, hiking, swimming, kayaking, sister circle, song and story sharing and lots of leisure time as well.

This is a glamping adventure in a newly renovated eco camp on a lake. The camp is surrounded by beautiful woods. The lake has a swimming deck with a lifeguard, kayaks and canoes. You can also bring your own vessel.

The retreat will start with dinner at 6 pm on Wednesday and will close with lunch on Friday. You can arrive as early as 3 pm on Wednesday and stay until 3 pm on Friday.

ACCOMODATIONS/GLAMPING

Originally coined as a glamorous camper, a glamper wants an upgrade from the tent and bag experience. Rustic sounds good to you -- but a few extra comforts are required. Like a bed and a solid roof.

All rooms are shared, sleep up to 3 and have either 2 twin size beds and a bunk bed or 2 twin size bunk beds per room. Each bed comes with a slightly narrower than normal twin mattress, a pillow, pillow cover and a blanket. You will need to bring the sheets or a sleeping bag. We will send you a more detailed letter upon your registration. 

This year all but one small cabin have indoor bathrooms.
If you would prefer your own room (outdoor bathrooms) or share a room with your friend(s), let me know ASAP.  

Heads up: we will share the camp & the lake with other nature lovers. We have decided to hold the retreat mid-week because the camp is usually much more quiet.

MEALS

The lodging includes 6 meals, Wednesday dinner to Friday lunch. Breakfast and dinner will be served indoors or outdoors on a stone patio overlooking the lake.  The lunch is a simple grain salad or a sandwich in a brown bag. The chef will do his best to offer us vegetarian, gluten and dairy free options. 

LAST YEAR'S HIGHLIGHTS

Here's what the ladies said after the last year's Summer Wilderness retreat: 
"It was perfect, specially that last swim in the rain in our sweaty hiking cloths. I wouldn't have changed anything."
"The morning yoga by the lake was one of my highlights..."
"Delicious meals overlooking the lake, and all the giggles..." 
"Silence or low whisper rule in our rooms so I was able to journal or nap..."
"My massage on the screened porch by the lake on the first day of the retreat melted all my tension away, so I was really able to enjoy every moment through the rest of the retreat."
"Kayaking in silence and listening to the nature..."
"Restorative yoga in the beautiful hall..."
