Meals at the Connect Retreat are thoughtfully prepared to nourish both body and mind. Our menus emphasize fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared by a hired Chef.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) – ~2.5–3 hours by car Best for international travelers and wide flight availability. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) – ~2–2.5 hours by car Often the most convenient option from the NYC/NJ area. Nearest Regional Airport Albany International Airport (ALB) – ~1.25–1.5 hours by car A smaller, easier airport for domestic connections. Car Renting a car from JFK, Newark, or Albany is the most seamless option. The drive into the Catskills is scenic and straightforward. Carpooling Participants are encouraged to coordinate shared rides closer to the retreat date. We often help facilitate connection among guests traveling from similar areas. Train + Car Service You may take an Amtrak train from NYC to the Hudson Valley (e.g., Rhinecliff or Hudson station) and arrange a car service or rental from there. Travel time varies depending on schedule. The retreat center is a private mountain mansion-cabin nestled in Bearsville, just outside Woodstock, NY. Detailed arrival instructions and check-in guidance will be provided to registered participants prior to the retreat.
