May Is for a Change of Pace

May invites fresh perspective, renewed energy, and meaningful connection that ripples outward into family, work, and community.

Why Visit in May

May marks the opening of our campus season. The Hudson Valley is in bloom and the first participants tap into the fresh energy of the living classroom. The excitement of a new season is present in the wide range of programs—from qigong and creative writing retreats to leadership and subtle energy training. Whether you're seeking vitality, renewal or contemplative depth, you'll find programs design to meet you where you are.

What begins here has a way of shaping how you move through the months ahead. Your start is here.
