Join us for a wonderful weekend devoted to you, in the beautiful Hudson Valley. This transformational weekend is designed to tap into the “flow" within and around us through gentle restorative yoga, energy work, meditation, guided exercises, intention setting and creative journaling. Savor the connection to nature, great conversations, small intimate groups and a vibrant community of powerful women. Be part of our sacred Autumnal fire ceremony releasing what no longer serves or empowers you into the {please change powerful to illuminating} cleansing flames. Explore the exquisite grounds, immerse yourself in nature, go for a hike, walk the labyrinth, play a game of pickle ball, take a bike ride or simply sit and soak it all in, at one of the beautiful rest and reflection areas located
around the property. Come and enjoy the beauty of autumn by the mighty Hudson River. The views are breathtaking, the food is delicious and our community is amazing.

We are Witnesses: A Discussion of Spiritual Autobiography
November 7 ~ November 9, 2025
$325
The writer Flannery O’Connor once said, “It seems to me that good stories are about conversion, a character’s changing.” Autobiographical stores are especially powerful. They provide for the reader, not just a path for the conduct of one’s own life, but also a mirror in which to examine one’s personal circumstances, values, and beliefs. Such stories have been an important dimension of Christian experience. Along with the account of Jesus’ acts and words, we have
many stories of people who have been converted by him.
This workshop surveys a range of spiritual autobiographies, such as Saint Augustine, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Dorothy Day, and Malcolm X. We will read and reflect upon these powerful stories and begin to write our own spiritual autobiography. Presenter: Fr. Tom Scirghi, SJ
