Loving Means Never Losing

Explore your relationship for a weekend...

Change your relationship for a Lifetime

One on One or Group Couples Retreat with Chris Rosenthal M.S., LMHC

***Customized Dates tailored to meet your needs

Cost:  $750 per couple (includes lodging, meals and workshop)

When we enter into relationships, we want to feel loved, to feel safe, to feel understood.  What happens all too often is we end up feeling unloved, unsafe and misunderstood.  Our loving, passionate team of two becomes a battle for who's right, who's wrong.  Wounds experienced long ago come to the surface and we aren't sure how to get our needs met.  So we continue to give up who we are, piece by piece.  We are no longer authentic in our relationships.  The spontaneous joy is missing.

In our weekend retreat for couples, we will explore taking the ME [my ego] out of our relationships and expanding the US [united spirit].  We will explore our ability to communicate in a harmonious and loving way, expanding our ability to create a safe place in which to allow the authentic self to flourish.

Arrive Friday by 6pm for supper and depart Sunday at 2pm after lunch.

Chris has been coaching couples for 16 years, bringing her therapeutic experience and her psychospiritual wisdom to promote the desire in each to seek the highest in themselves. The resulting release of what no longer serves them, allows for the embracing of a new paradigm of emotional intimacy and harmony.

Farmony

Integrating Farm and Nature...

a unique experience presented by

Stone & Thistle Farm and Harmony Hill Retreat Center

Available Dates: July 18-20 or August 16 & 17 (additional dates can be tailored to your individual schedules!)

Cost:  $670 for a couple or family of 2 for 2 nights; $70 for each additional person

[includes 2 nights lodging with breakfast, farm tour program & lunch at Fable]

  

Your discovery begins with a peaceful night’s rest in a tree-house yurt or the cozy lodge nestled on 70 secluded acres.  Awaken rejuvenated; breathe in the morning mountain air as you eat a healthy breakfast in the privacy of your own lodging.

After breakfast, join the Warren Family at Stone & Thistle Farm (a stone’s throw from the Hill), for a tour of their organic, grass-fed, family farm and meet the goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and cattle.  Lend a hand with morning chores, milk a goat, feed lambs, collect eggs and work in the gardens.

Vegetables you harvest from the gardens, eggs you collect from the laying cabins, together with meats, cheese and yogurt all raised and made on the farm, provide the ingredients for couples to create and enjoy a sumptuous farm lunch at FABLE, the farm’s restaurant.

In the afternoon back at The Hill there are 70 acres to explore, trails to hike, a fieldstone labyrinth to walk, wildlife to track, mountains to view, a book to read....and time to do absolutely nothing.  You may also 'order' a private individual, couples or family coaching session, Reiki treatment, body work, yoga, art and nature class, a wild weed walk or one of our other add-one services*.  Dinner is on your own.  You may cook in or grill out or have a catered meal.  And there is plenty of wood to build your campfire.  We may even have some marshmallows if you've forgotten to bring some.  At night in our labyrinth meadow, you can look up and touch the Milky Way.

The following morning you will enjoy a healthy breakfast, have another add-one service or just allow the trees and trails to give you more memorable moments before you leave The Hill, taking a peace of the Catskills back home with you.

Release and Renewal Workshop

Letting Go of the past..discovering a new, intuitively guided future

with Diana Friedell and Emily VanLaeys

Date:  August 10th  2pm- 4pm

Cost:  $30    registration form

Diana will lead participants in a guided meditation which will allow them to easily tune into their Higher Self.  In this more relaxed and receptive state, new insights reveal themselves to you.

In a Release and Renewal Ceremony, Emily VanLaeys will guide participants in readings and rituals that will facilitate the release of attachments to painful experiences, and transform that pain into something more positive.  Ceremony participants will walk the Harmony Hill Labyrinth, symbolic of their journey from "death" to new life.

Diana Friedell, Psychic Intuitive, is a graduate of the School for Healing and Prophecy at Fellowships of the Spirit in Lily Dale, NY.  Diana teaches people to tune into their own intuitive nature, and believes that all people are capable of receiving their own intuitive answers, with a little instruction and guidance.  "Diana's classes have reminded me that the answers are there, they are within and ready and waiting and it is a warm, comfortable, non-judgmental atmosphere, open and loving - I am enjoying and accepting the 'real' me" - testimony from class participant

Emily VanLaeys, local author and wedding celebrant is a graduate of the Celebrant Foundation & Institute, where she learned the art and orchestration of ritual and ceremony.  The Foundation teaches that meaningful ceremonies can help ease us through the changes that life inevitably brings.  Ritual and ceremony provide us with guidance as changes occur, as well as affecting the change itself to provide a positive outcome.  "You performed a lovely, interactive, supportive and transformational ceremony [today].  What a wonderful path you have set out on! Your ability to bring ritual and ceremony to many aspects of the human life is a wonderful calling" - testimony by ceremony participant

Diana is available for private psychic readings and classes. Check out her webpage at www.tuningin-tuningup.com

Emily is available to create and perform personalized weddings and other milestone ceremonies.  Check out her web site at www.customceremonies-in-the-heartland.com

On Going Events at the Lodge

A Course In Miracles Study Group
Date: Monday Mornings Hours: 9:30 AM 

Whether you are new to the Course or been at it for years, if you would like to study ACIM, come join us. Just bring yourself and ACIM book if you have one. The basic concept of the Course is that we are all equal Spiritual Beings, connected to our Source. The Course is here to assist us in releasing our attachment to guilt, judgment and fear, and to realize that love is who we are, and love is the only thing that is real. We explore concepts of the Course such as:

  • If you will accept yourself as God created you, you will be incapable of suffering.
  • What is God's belongs to everyone, and is his due.
  • Spirit knows no difference between having and being.
  • Sin is defined as "lack of love".
  • There is no order of difficulty in miracles.
  • Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.

Cost: No charge
