Womens Summer Retreat: Naponoch, NY
About The RetreatThis July 10–12, we invite women to gather in the heart of summer in Napanoch NY for a weekend devoted to radiance, ripening and being fully alive in your body.
While our Wintering retreat focused on rest, reflection, and tending the inner landscape, this gathering leans into summer’s natural momentum. We’ll work with seasonal plant allies to create simple, effective summer skincare, explore practices that support hormonal balance and cyclical awareness, and spend time outdoors honoring the body through movement, rest, and shared ritual.
In the heart of summer, we are gathering women in Napanoch, NY for a weekend devoted to radiance, ripening, and being fully alive in your body. Held in a spacious mountain home set within 130 acres of private land, this weekend is an invitation to remember that your body is an altar, and to offer it love and reverence. We'll share meals made with ingredients from local farms, learn how to make herbal infused body oil for ritual body oiling, and have plenty of down time for creative play — hike in the woods, bathe in the salt water pool, or spend time in the Finnish sauna
❋ Seasonal MealsMeals for the retreat will be simple and fresh, made with ingredients grown on nearby farms, reflecting what’s in season and available from the local landscape. Herbal teas will be served throughout the weekend, blended to support the energetics of summer—cooling, hydrating, and uplifting.
❋ Gathering in Community We’ll spend the weekend together in a shared space—sitting in circle, talking, listening, and moving through each part of the day as a group. This is a supportive, respectful environment that encourages ease, connection, and openness.
❋ Creative Play & ExplorationThe property includes 130 acres of woods with walking trails, a saltwater pool, and a Finnish sauna. There will be open time throughout the weekend for you to use the space in whatever way feels best—walking the trails, swimming, resting, or spending time outside.
❋ Seasonal BodyWe’ll explore how the summer season shows up in the body—through energy levels, heat, and overall rhythm. We’ll work with herbal infused oils and learn the practice of body oiling, a simple way to help cool the system, support the skin, and stay grounded during the heat of summer.
What's Included-
A shared space of reflection rooted in the menstrual cycle awareness, menopause, and the rhythms of the moon as an ongoing expression of the body’s cyclical nature. Diana holds this work with grounded presence, inviting deeper listening to the body’s cyclical wisdom.
-
We’ll make herbal infused oils for a simple ritual body oil you can work with daily. This practice is especially supportive in summer, helping to keep the skin soft, hydrated, and balanced in the heat. From the same infused oils, we’ll also prepare an herbal cream designed to feel cooling and refreshing on the skin during warmer months. We’ll be working with natural and organic ingredients, along with hydrosols distilled locally by Sasha. You’ll leave with everything we make, plus the recipes and guidance to continue making them at home.
-
We start the day moving together outside. Gentle, feel-good movement to wake up your body on 130 acres of meadows and green space. Stretch, breathe, get your bare feet in the grass.
-
In the evening, we’ll slow down and turn toward the dreaming mind. You’ll drink a specially prepared herbal tea to support rest and dream clarity, and set a simple intention for the night. We’ll also make mugwort dream satchels to place by your pillow, traditionally used to support vivid dreaming and deepen dream recall. The day closes with a guided yoga nidra practice, offering deep rest for the nervous system and supporting relaxation, dream recall, and the natural movement of the unconscious during sleep.

The retreat includes access to a saltwater pool & Finnish sauna throughout the weekend. The sauna provides dry heat to help relax muscles and support circulation, while the pool offers a cool place to swim or cool off during the day. Together they create a rhythm of heat and water for the body to move between rest and renewal. Both will be available during downtime for you to use as you like.
