RETREATS
Mystic Summer | A Luxe Mountain Retreat
Gatherwild Ranch, Hudson Valley NY
July 10-13
Step into a midsummer dream where time slows, the air softens, and the land hums with quiet magic. Mystic Summer | A Luxe Mountain Retreat invites you to leave behind the noise of everyday life and surrender to the rhythm of nature. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley, New York, this retreat is an immersion into slow living—a chance to reset, reconnect, and revel in the beauty of the mountains through movement, breath, and sensory exploration.
Our private retreat oasis, Gatherwild Ranch, sits on 15 acres of lush, untamed land—once a thriving apple orchard, now a sanctuary where nature’s artistry unfolds in every season. Here, the mountains cradle you in tranquility, the trees whisper ancient stories, and each golden sunset stretches endlessly across the sky.
Accommodations are in luxuriously designed bell tents, cabins and even a vintage camper- each uniquely crafted by local Hudson Valley artisans and curated for comfort. Selected by Vogue as one of the top 20 glamping resorts, Gatherwild strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern indulgence, offering plush bedding, electricity, and cozy retreats beneath the stars.
During this three-night immersive escape, surrender to warm, sun-kissed days and crisp evenings by the fire. Breathe deeply in mountain air, move with intention, and let nature guide you back to yourself.
We invite you to step into this experience with us. To retreat, to rest, connect with likeminded friends, and to be held by the mountains, the land, and the magic of slow living. Come as you are, and leave feeling more deeply connected—to yourself, to nature, and to the quiet wonder that surrounds you.
A retreat for seekers, dreamers, and earth lovers.

Each day unfolds at a gentle, natural pace, inviting you to slow down and fully immerse yourself in the rhythm of the land. Mornings begin with yoga and breathwork, grounding you in movement and breath before we share a nourishing, farm-to-table breakfast. Throughout our time together, we’ll explore the lush beauty of the Hudson Valley on mindful hikes, moving through shaded trails, listening to the sounds of the forest, and feeling the earth beneath our feet. Along the way, we may come across hidden waterfalls, offering a cool, refreshing pause.
Together, we’ll experience a natural dyeing workshop, where we’ll work with local plants to create earth-inspired textiles, engaging in a hands-on, creative practice that deepens our connection to Mother Nature. As the day softens, we’ll pause for golden hour sensory exploration, sharing a sunset while taking in the shifting light, the evening breeze, and the quiet transition from day to night.
Afternoons are yours to enjoy however you choose. Gather for a fresh, locally sourced lunch, then ease into your day at your own pace. Explore the land, pick ingredients from the garden, or take a leisurely bike ride through scenic trails. If water calls to you, paddleboard on the Hudson River or cool off with a refreshing dip in a natural swimming hole. If you’re craving rest, stretch out in the sun, find shade beneath a tree to read or journal, or retreat to your luxe accommodations, where plush bedding and the soft sounds of nature invite deep relaxation. You can also unwind in the wood fired sauna and cold plunge, letting the elements restore your energy.
Evenings begin with practice, as we gather for sound healing and somatic movement, softening into presence and reflection. Then we gather for a chef-prepared, farm-to-table dinner, where every bite is infused with the flavors of the Hudson Valley—fresh, seasonal, and crafted with care. As night falls, the stars bring us together around the fire, where we share in quiet conversation, storytelling, or the simple comfort of flickering flames.
Please note—everything is optional. Our highest intention is for you to listen to your body and take what you need to replenish your soul. Whether you join in every offering or spend your time resting in nature, this retreat is yours to experience in the way that feels most nourishing to you.
