RETREATS & WORKSHOPS:

PAGEBREAK x BELLETRIST

April 24th-26th

This is our 3rd read-an-entire-book-aloud-together-while-getting-wined-and-dined retreat with our pals PAGEBREAK and this one is going to be EXTRA fun for me because we’re reading my debut novel THE FOUNTAIN!!


WRITE 20K WORDS IN THREE DAYS: A Binge Writing Retreat with ARTIST RESIDENT Chloe Caldwell and JILLIAN EUGENIOS

May 16th-19th [SOLD OUT!]

The goal is 20k new words, and with Chloé and Jillian's support, exercises, encouragement, inspiration (and prizes!), you will meet it. Everyone wants to write/publish a book, but they forget that this is the first step. Readings and exercises and really eccentric prompts will be given. You'd be surprised what you can accomplish in three days in this environment. All the retreats lead to lifelong friendships, that's just one of the bonuses. No one leaves until 20k!


WATERCOLOR WEEKEND: with Inn co-owneR STEVEN WEINBERG

June 26th-28th / $999

Think: being out with your palette and a coffee at sunrise, putting your brushes to work at the foot of a waterfall… There’ll be group instruction, one on one time, and plenty of opportunity to artistically explore on your own. All levels welcome!

Location: The Spruceton Inn a Catskill Bed & Bar. Located 5 miles down a 7 mile dead end road in the hear of the Catskills. Steven lives onsite and paints most of his scenes from the grounds. Rooms are located in the Inn’s 9 room motel strip.

Rough schedule: Friday evening welcome sips, initial instruction, and plein air sunset painting. // Saturday sunrise painting, breakfast, continued instruction, lunch, individual assignments for the late afternoon & evening // Sunday breakfast, hike to local falls and paint, wrap up session.

Rate includes accommodation for 2 nights, 2 breakfasts and 1 lunch, plus $100 worth of supplies from beloved local shop Catskill Art Supply.

If you are coming as a two-some and you BOTH want to paint it’s just $499 for that additional second person. We can take that remaining balance in person when you check in. Second person coming along who’s not going to join instruction? We don’t need anything else from you!

This three-night, four-day retreat offered by yoga teacher Elizabeth Voetsch and Artist Resident writer Jen Doll offers a combined program of yoga, writing, and mindfulness that will help you tune in to your inner voice, nourish your creative forces, and chart your own unique path forward on the mat and on the page.

WANNA HOST YOUR OWN WORKSHOP/RETREAT?

We love that! A few deets to keep in mind:

  • We have just 9 rooms, each with one queen size bed.

  • We're usually open weekends only, Memorial Day through the end of October, but we can also open midweek and "off-season" for special events.

  • Room One our little Front Desk & Bar  is usually open to guests and the public at large for happy hour, 5-8pm on Fridays & Saturdays, and complimentary coffee service for guests 8:30-10:30am Saturdays & Sundays, but we can adjust hours and/or keep it closed to the public you want.

  • We do not have a restaurant or catering facilities on site. That said, we can offer a light breakfast (think fruit, yogurt, coffee, tea, granola) and we've worked with plenty of local restaurants/caterers over the years and would be happy to point you in the direction of possible partners for lunches and dinners etc.

  • We have 8 acres of meadows, several fire pits and BBQs, plus a barn which serves as a gathering spot and local lending library as well as a special events venue. We also just finished construction a little 24' x 12' all-weather studio/meeting space we're calling Room Eleven which has one long table and can sit up to 18. (Pics to come!)

  • To reserve, we require a 50% deposit from the organizer. The remaining 50% is due 60 days out from check-in.

  • We will help promote the retreat via all of our platforms-- website, Instagram, Substack etc.
