Transportation to and from Kingston is not included. Most guests choose to drive, but you can also take Metro-North to Rhinecliff and connect to Kingston by rideshare or taxi.

Once everyone has booked, we'll connect the group so anyone interested can coordinate carpools. If you're arriving without a car, don't worry, we'll make sure you always have a ride to all of our scheduled retreat activities.

Shared rooms are first come, first served.

If you and a friend would like to room together, simply book the same shared room as soon as possible. We recommend booking at the same time so you can be sure to secure the room you'd like.

Traveling solo? You're welcome to reserve a shared room as well, and we'll pair you with another guest.

Absolutely, as long as they're joining the retreat as a participant.

Because the retreat is intentionally limited to eight guests, every person attending must reserve one of the eight available retreat spots. This allows us to keep class sizes small, accommodate everyone at meals and activities, and create the intimate experience we're hoping for.

If you're traveling as a couple, simply reserve one of our shared rooms together.

Yes. We'll ask about dietary restrictions and food allergies before the retreat and work closely with our chef and restaurant partners to accommodate them whenever possible.

Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have food allergies, we'll do our very best to make sure every meal is something you can enjoy safely.

Not at all :)

This retreat is designed for a wide range of experience levels. Our Pilates classes will be approachable while still offering options for more experienced students, and our hike is meant to be enjoyed, not raced. We'll move together, take breaks when we need them, and focus on enjoying the experience.

Your retreat includes three nights at Church des Artistes, daily movement classes, daily breakfast, two dinners at the house, a prepared picnic lunch, one dinner out in Kingston, welcome refreshments, all scheduled retreat activities, and plenty of free time to enjoy the Hudson Valley.

The only things you'll need to budget separately are transportation to and from Kingston, lunch while exploring Kingston on Sunday, and any personal shopping or additional snacks you'd like along the way.

Yes, and we'd love for you to :)

Most of our retreat guests travel solo, and one of the nicest things about keeping the group so small is how quickly everyone gets to know one another. Whether you arrive with a friend or on your own, you'll be welcomed into the group from the moment you walk through the door.

Yes. A $500 deposit reserves your spot. The remaining balance can either be paid in full or split into three manageable payments leading up to the retreat.

A $500 deposit is required to reserve your space and is fully refundable up to 45 days before the retreat.

If you need to cancel within 45 days of the retreat, we'll do everything we can to fill your spot. If we're able to rebook your space, we'll gladly refund your payment, less the $500 deposit. If we aren't able to fill the spot, unfortunately we can't offer a refund, as lodging, meals, and activities will already have been reserved on your behalf.

Start digging out your flannels! We'll send a detailed packing list a few weeks before the retreat, but plan on bringing comfortable clothes for Pilates and hiking, sturdy walking shoes, layers for cool fall mornings and evenings, and something cozy for relaxing around the fire.
