October 2019 | Cold Spring & Peekskill, NY

What an adventure we had on this Fall HikeDay!! For this one we took advantage of two locations. First we trekked through Cold Spring and then headed to Peekskill, NY for dinner and Happy Hour at the Peekskill Brewery.

After we arrived in Cold Spring, we jumped off the train with enthusiasm and excitement, perhaps too much excitement - for we started the hike about 3 times before we found the trail we really wanted! The hike, to quote AllTrials, was a “moderate trail” that included a trek up about 1400 ft to the Bull Hill where we espied a glimpse of the New York City skyline from 53 miles away. When we finally reached the peak of our hike we did some light asana, meditation, breathwork, and ate all the snacks we’d packed.

We just love these HikeDays!! May 4, 2019 was #4.

Our group of 24 wonderful souls joined us for our first excursion to Cold Spring, NY. After a smooth train ride up to Cold Spring, our trek begin with a mile walk straight up Main St to reach the trailhead. Once on the trail we climbed over rocks and through the trees up 1400ft to Bull Hill hoping to catch a glimpse of the New York City Skyline 53 miles away. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and was not collaborating for such a view.

October 2018 | Poughkeepsie, NY

Our third HikeDay was a blast. This hike we chose to head to Poughkeepsie, NY. This turned out to be a 8-9mile day where we tackled various terrain. The start and the closing of the hike was we walking over the longest bridge in the world “Walkway over the Hudson” build all the way back in 1889. Once off the Bridge we trekked a few more miles through Franny Reese State Park with the fresh fall foliage covering our path with newly fallen leaves. It was gorgeous. Closing out the day with delicious food and libations at Mahoney’s Irish Pub inside the old Vassar Brewery.

May 2015 | Craryville, NY

It was time to give our community another opportunity to "Disconnect to Reconnect" within our infamous Digital Detox. After doing our research we took a chance and are so glad we booked with Pumpkin Hollow Retreat Center. What a special place! Mountains of lush forest, streams, waterfalls and the tranquility of being in nature made this experience one that our group will never forget.

July 2014 | Rosendale, NY

Our very first retreat, it's always the most precious. Zander and I decided to give people the opportunity to experience a Digital Detox and "disconnect to reconnect" through a long weekend in the beautiful landscapes of upstate New York. This was a smashing success. We had a wonderful group of 15 students that decided to come along for a weekend full of yoga, various meditations, hiking, cliff jumping, games and connecting with other wonderful people.
