Spring Retreat 2026

Come Retreat with me in Upstate New York from April 9-12

This spring set aside a long weekend to practice, connect & chill out in a gorgeous setting with an incredible group of humans.

With yoga, pranayama and workshop style practices you’ll have time to ask questions, learn more deeply, and step away from the business of regular life for a few special days set in a beautiful landscape. 

Our host at Groundworks, Kristen Leonard, will prepare 3 delicious veggie forward meals/day. Her meals are always a hit and all prepared from the freshest local produce, including organic garden offerings and eggs from the property’s free-range chickens. The coffee is also very good, trust

This all gives you ample time to practice, explore, take a hike, make a friend, flop in a hammock, enjoy the wood fired sauna, and deeply relax.

Groundworks offers a serene retreat nestled on 35 acres, boasting breathtaking views of the Shawangunk Ridge. This incredible location is designed for relaxation, focus, and creativity, providing a medley of activities to engage with the natural beauty of the surroundings. You can meander along walking trails, indulge in a peaceful meditation walk, chill in hammocks with a book, or unwind in the incredible sauna.

The property features several spots to savor the sunset, including a deck, and multiple fire pits for nocturnal relaxation and stargazing.

Did I mention that this is about a 3 1/2 hour short drive from Boston? It’s worth it!
