About this trip
NUSHU is thrilled to partner with renowned psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole on the 2025 Upstate Retreat!
This retreat is for high-functioning women seeking freedom, flow, and purpose by deepening their awareness of the conditioning that keeps them stuck in a cycle of codependency.
Movement, journaling, awareness, and inquiry are all tools we’ll use in our time together. This four-day retreat will help you connect with incredible women in a safe, nurturing, and judgment-free environment. Get ready to learn deep lessons, feel seen and held, experience friendship, and have a blast!
Retreat Theme
Drawing inspiration from Terri Cole’s new book, Too Much, this retreat will help you shift “from too much to just right,” so you can live a life that’s full of authenticity, freedom, and joy.
Are you the person everyone comes to when they’re in a jam?
Do you regularly accommodate others’ needs and preferences?
Does it feel like chaos will ensue if you don’t handle the travel plans, divvy up the check at group dinners, sort out your friend’s latest crisis, and so on?
If any of the questions above resonate, the odds are good that you are one of the overgiving, overextending individuals struggling with high-functioning codependency.
At this retreat, you can expect content and exercises that will help transform how you see yourself and stay centered in your own experience so that you can relate to others in a healthier way.
“How you feel, what you think, what you want matters. In fact, those things need to matter to you the most,” writes Terri. “By choosing the path of healing and recovery, you are coming home to yourself.”
We can't wait for you to experience Terri's brilliance and insights throughout the week.
Retreat Location
Winter is the perfect time to rest and turn inward. The season lends itself to restoration and quiet contemplation. There’s no better place to do this than in the stillness and beauty of the Catskills’ vast forests and deep valleys. Although Scribner’s Catskill Lodge is only 2.5 hours from New York City, it feels like a world away. Situated on over 20 acres of mountainside to explore, this aesthetic lodge features thoughtful design, friendly service, and a perfectly curated food and drink menu.

This Is For You If...
- You want to find and meet a community of like-minded women in an intentional space. You have friends, but somehow they don’t relate to the new YOU that you are starting to discover.
- You’re always giving to others and you know deep down that you MUST give to yourself if you’re going to continue being there for those you love.
- You just need a break!
- You know that you need more nature in your life, but somehow life keeps getting in the way of planning something for yourself.
- You’re feeling a little bit, well, blah. You know your life wasn’t supposed to just be putting one foot in front of the other.
- You’re desperate to get away, but one-week retreats in foreign countries aren’t in the cards for you right now.
