Release and Renew
FALL CATSKILLS RETREAT
October 3rd-5th 2025
With Katya Danko
Join us this fall for a renewing weekend retreat on the edge of the Catskills, surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage.
Fall is a season of transformation—when the landscape bursts into color and nature gracefully begins to let go. In that same spirit, our retreat will guide you through a gentle process of shedding—releasing what no longer serves you. Through the healing practices of nature immersion, meditation, and yoga, we’ll clear space within ourselves: space for growth, new possibilities, and deeper connection.

🌲 Nature immersion + forest trails
🧘♀️ Daily yoga + meditation with Katya
🎶 Restorative evening sessions with sound baths
🔥 Campfire ritual & intention setting
🥗 Farm-to-table vegetarian meals
🏡 Cozy heated cabins (private/shared)
💫 Day passes + camping options available
SPACE IS LIMITED!
LOCATION
Our retreat home for the weekend, Pumpkin Hollow, is a serene 130-acre sanctuary of lush forests, open fields, and vibrant gardens.
Wander through wooded trails, gather around the cozy campfire grove, or follow the stream to discover peaceful hiking paths. The Hollow features a healing yoga studio and a beautiful open-air barn where our classes will be held. Along the stream lies the Garden of Peace—an ideal spot for quiet reflection—complete with a prayer pole for meditation and intention-setting. Known for its nurturing energy, Pumpkin Hollow is lovingly cared for by a community of open-hearted, kind-spirited people, who are committed to creating a space of warmth and healing.
LODGING
Quaint cabins line the property, featuring both private and shared room arrangements. All lodging is heated with access to a private or shared bathroom with hot water. There are a combination of 2, 3 and 4 person shared spaces. For those who only want to attend for the day, or prefer to camp on the grounds, can do so at a discounted price.
Email Katya at katdanko@gmail.com if you would like to room with someone. Private rooms and doubles are limited, will be secured on a first come first serve basis.
YOGA
Katya will guide a series of nourishing and energizing yoga classes aligned with our central theme, with time after each session to workshop any requested poses. In the evenings, she’ll offer calming yin and restorative classes paired with a soothing sound bath to encourage deep relaxation and rest. To help us connect with ourselves and the natural surroundings, Katya will also lead morning meditations in the most serene areas of the grounds, and host an evening campfire reading and ritual.
FOOD
Creating farm to table vegetarian meals, with produce from the Pumpkin Hollow Garden, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided in the communal dining room. In the spirit of Karma Yoga and togetherness, we’ll gently support the flow of our shared space by helping with cleanup during one or two meals.
