Itinerary
Day 1
Catskill Mountains, New York
Only 2.5 hours north of New York City, the bucolic Catskill Mountains rise from the Hudson Valley. Your three-day retreat begins with a welcome dinner, sourced from local, organic farms. A guided discussion on the challenges of maintaining focus in an increasingly noise-filled work environment will set the stage for the retreat ahead.
Day 2
Sunrise Wildlife Viewing
Welcome the day with a guided sunrise meditation. In your practice, you will learn breathing techniques that you can take back to the office, helping you maintain laser-sharp focus in a world of distraction. In the afternoon, you have a choice of activities including horseback riding mountain trails, fly fishing for rainbow trout or a privately guided nature hike.
Day 3
Waterfall Hike
Your meditation practice will prove to be even more impactful on your second day. This morning, you'll explore Kaaterskill Falls, the highest two-tiered waterfall in the state, on a meditation hike. Your retreat concludes with a group discussion on the impacts meditation and breathing techniques make in your professional life.

Hudson Valley Retreat FAQ
______
What's the best time to go?
Spring
The Hudson Valley in the spring is a time of transition, from patches of snow to blooming wildflowers and Mountain Laurel. For more predictable weather, late-April, May and June are the best times to visit.
Summer
Summer can be an ideal time to travel to the Hudson Valley. While the temperatures and humidity in New York City can be uncomfortably hot, the Hudson Valley is dependably cooler and pleasant.
Fall
Autumn in the Hudson Valley is spectacular with the turning colors of the maples and the apple trees ripe for picking. For peak foliage, plan your retreat in mid-October.
Winter
The Catskills in the winter is a destination for downhill skiing and snowshoeing. The forests are blissfully quiet in the winter which can make it an appealing time to host your retreat.
Does my team need to be physically fit?
The Hudson Valley and the Catskills Mountains are an adventurers paradise, with endless trails, 4,000-foot peaks, mountain biking and rock climbing. More inclusive activities including outdoor yoga, forest bathing, wildlife viewing and horseback riding.
What's the closest airport to The Hudson Valley?
The Hudson Valley is a geography north of New York City, spanning areas like the Shawangunk Ridge, Rhinebeck and the Catskill Mountains. Your team can fly into one of the three major airports in New York: LaGuardia, JFK and Newark. Additionally, there are smaller airports in the Hudson Valley including Westchester County and Stewart International.
What's the ideal group size?
The Hudson Valley has the capacity to host larger groups -- up to 250 -- or small teams of 4 to 12. As Wilder does in all nature-based retreats, smaller teams will be formed to maximize the enjoyment of the outdoor activities and to minimize the impact on the environment.
