About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
Join us for a digital detox weekend at The Abode. We are a wellness and spiritual retreat center, located on 300+ acres in New Lebanon, NY, on the beautiful historic Shaker site, on back country roads.
We will be focused on detaching from our phones this weekend, and re-engaging with nature, others, and ourselves. Mornings will start with Yoga, followed by a organic breakfast. We will have guided hikes and nature workshops in the afternoon, including a calendula salve workshop with our head gardener, Sarah Latifa. Saturday afternoon will highlight a sit down garden dinner outside in our herb gardens, followed by an evening session of sound healing, one our favorite activities, by sound therapist, Elise Manzo. Sunday will feature yoga in the morning, a native plants and garden creation class in the afternoon, and meditation.
Dinner will be served after Friday arrival, Saturday there will be Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, and Sunday will be Breakfast and Lunch.
Our head chef is Amber Maisaino. Amber Maisano has been dedicated to the healing culinary arts since 2004, specializing in holistic health with a strong emphasis on macrobiotic cooking. She works closely with the Abode Farm, only 100 yards away from campus, to bring in freshly harvest ingredients for our meals. We are happy to cater to dietary needs, and try to serve you thoughtful, fully organic, nourishing foods.
We will offer secure phone storage for the weekend, with shareable information for you to share with those who might need to still get in contact with you. This is optional for those who would like to take advantage to that offer.
You will receive a journal upon arrival, and we will also hold some discussions about attention, phone use, and how to navigate it all in today's modern world.
We can't wait to see you,
Warmly,
The Abode
