Details
This women-only retreat offers a rare opportunity to step out of daily life and into deep nourishment. In the intimate setting of a home studio just outside New York City, you'll experience a day designed to awaken all your senses and reconnect you to what it means to truly feed yourself - body, heart, and spirit. Through sound healing, hands-on cooking, mindful eating, and ritual blend creation, you'll explore nourishment as a full-body practice. Limited to 10 participants, this retreat creates space for authentic connection, presence, and the kind of transformation that comes when we slow down enough to actually feel what nourishes us. You'll leave with practices you can take home, a custom ritual blend you've created, and a renewed relationship with how you nourish yourself in all areas of life.

★ Reviews

The philosophy of Old World Arts and Crafts' organic beauty is clearly evident in this home. The Cedar and Stone exterior immediately captures your attention as you enter through the heated wrap-around front porch to a Dutch door entry and three-story main foyer. The generous first-level floor plan includes a large living room, formal dining space, open porch, heated sunroom, library with fireplace and rustic kitchen with breakfast nook, laundry station and powder room. There are plenty of windows and glass doors throughout the first level, offering sensational natural sunlight and stunning views of the blooming gardens. The second floor offers four bedrooms and a full bath. The master has walk-in closets, and the second bedroom has an adjoining covered balcony. All rooms are generous in size. The third level offers two more bedrooms, including a private bedroom bath, perfect for an Au Pair. Hardwood floors, stunning woodwork, pocket doors, a built-in window seat, and period details are on display throughout. The nearly half-acre of property is a rare find in Colonial Heights. Lush lawn, blooming perennial plantings and a thriving vegetable garden can be found in the surrounding property. This special home showcases the perfect blend of nature and craftsmanship. Three-car garage.
