Join us for Autumn Illumination: Light in the Season of Gratitude, a weekend retreat designed to root, open, and light up your spirit. Set in the peaceful beauty of the Southern Catskills, this immersive experience blends soulful ceremony, creativity, and self-care—from a shamanic cacao ritual and crystal sound bowls to a kaleidoscopic vision board workshop and pajama parties, nourishing meals, and starlit hot tub soaks! Through meaningful connection, wellness experiences, and guided reflection, you’ll cultivate balance, joy, and gratitude as we gently prepare for the season ahead.
Our weekend will be filled with movement, sound, art, wellness activities, coaching, deep connection, reflection, and rest. Curated by Red Bird House founders, Sallie Fraenkel and Wendy Bosalavage, the retreat will also include special guests who will guide transformative experiences. Join us this November for Autumn Illumination: Gratitude in the Season of Light, a women’s retreat where we celebrate the radiant beauty of fall and the warmth of heartfelt connection. Through the vibrant hues of the season and the soft glow of inner and outer light, we’ll explore how color, light, and presence can deepen our bonds—with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Let this be a weekend to slow down, light up, and reconnect.
