Practice
Led by Courtney Chase & Tom Dobmeier, practices will focus on finding your own rhythm and connecting with community.
Nourish
Meals are an extension of the practice, where presence becomes conversation and strangers become community.
Explore
Take time to explore the beauty of the surrounding area, from peaceful riverside walks and nearby hiking trails to the beauty of Lake Ontario.
Our Setting
Our Fall Retreat takes place at Tailwater Lodge in Altmar, New York, nestled along the Salmon River and surrounded by wooded trails and the colors of late fall. Whether you're joining us from Central New York, Rochester, Buffalo, New York City, or Boston, Tailwater Lodge is an easy destination for a weekend away. It feels removed from the pace of everyday life without being far from home.
Throughout the weekend, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the property, gather in community, and take in everything the season has to offer. Go for a walk, relax by the fire, read a book, or simply enjoy the slower pace. Whether you're spending time with others or finding a quiet moment for yourself, the setting makes it easy to settle in.
