Woodstock Way Retreat

Our adventure in Woodstock began with a warm welcome at the stunning Cape and Craftsman villas at Woodstock Way Hotel, where we were treated to adorable goodie bags that set the tone for a memorable stay. These beautifully curated spaces, infused with artistic inspiration and musical charm, made us feel right at home as we settled in.

After unpacking, we ventured to the Thorn Preserve, a picturesque open field alive with wildlife, where we engaged in a rejuvenating meditation and journaling session, connecting with nature and each other. As the sun set, we returned to our cozy villas for a delightful dinner and toasted marshmallows around a crackling fire for some delicious s’mores.

The next morning, we gathered for a wholesome family breakfast before heading to Big Deep for a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water, a perfect way to start the day. Our next stop was the breathtaking Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery, where we reveled in the serene atmosphere, allowing the peace and quiet to wash over us.

Energized, we then tackled the incline hike up Overlook Mountain. While it was definitely a workout, the reward at the summit was a breathtaking view of the Catskills that left us in awe. We took our time soaking in the beauty, practicing mindfulness through meditation, and appreciating the tranquility of the moment.

After our adventure, we returned home for a nourishing dinner followed by a wellness activity, keeping the positive vibes alive. On our final day, we explored the charming shops of Woodstock, soaking in the local culture before reluctantly saying our goodbyes and heading back to the city, our hearts full and spirits lifted. This trip was a beautiful reminder of the magic that happens when we take the time to connect with ourselves and nature.
