NATURE IMMERSION, SOULFUL CONNECTION & DEEP EMBODIMENT.
July 6
July 8
Step away from the noise and into the stillness of the mountains.
Sensory Season is a two-day immersive retreat designed as a gentle, yet profound reset for your body, mind, and spirit. Nestled on 14 serene acres in the Catskills – just 90 miles from New York City – this experience invites you to return to your senses, your rhythm, and your deepest self.
This is a space for nervous system nourishment, soulful connection, and embodied creativity. Through somatic movement, vocal expression, guided meditation, and ritual, you’ll be supported in releasing tension, softening mental noise, and coming home to presence.
This is not just a retreat – it’s a reclamation.
A space to move beyond perceived limits, dissolve stagnation, and remember the intelligence of your body. You’ll be invited to reconnect with joy, express freely, and root into a deeper sense of aliveness.
Are you ready to say yes to yourself?
