About this trip
The autumnal equinox, when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length. We will honor the end of the Summer season in lovely Vermont. Only 3 1/2 hours from our NJ studio, this is an easy and beautiful drive. You will enjoy peace, relaxation, privacy and rejuvenation as we move into autumn.
Our retreat home is a glorious, spacious circa 1882 private Victorian homestead located in historic Mt. Holly with a gorgeous view of the back side of Okemo mountain.
Vermont's foliage season begins in September and extends into October. The magic of peak foliage makes this an amazing time to see Vermont's maple trees show off in all their glory!
Lake Ninevah, a 170-acre lake, is located within 5 miles of our retreat home. This pristine lake is accessible by the small public boat launch controlled by Vermont Fish and Wildlife. With a maximum depth of 12 feet, the water warms quickly, we may even have the benefit of sunny weather so we can enjoy a swim. We invite you to bring your paddle boards and kayaks.
There is no place like Vermont in the Autumn! Adjacent to Green Mountain National Forest, we will be surrounded by great hiking trails, beautiful lakes, cycling routes (why not bring your bicycle?) and fabulous dining. Farms and orchards are abundant and September is the perfect time to grab apples, grapes, pears, plums, nectarines, squash and pumpkins from pick-your-own farms! We will be right on the Vermont cheese trail!
Our retreat home is located only 30 minutes from historic Woodstock, roam the streets and visit the shops and restaurants of this historical village. Perhaps visit one of the local museums, Billings Farm & Museum. It is just a scenic stroll from the village center and is regarded as one of the finest outdoor history museums in the country.
We will enjoy daily yoga classes with a focus on restorative practices. Our classes will consist of a morning stretch class, the afternoons will bring Gentle Flow classes, Reiki Infused Restorative, Yin, and Yoga Nidra. We will be welcoming a Full Moon on this retreat with a Full Moon Yoga and Meditation.
Our workshops will include Aromatherapy, Alternative Wellness Practices and Crafting.
