The retreat includes optional yoga classes, sauna and cold plunge, guided hikes into forever-wild state parks, and access to state-of-the-art 7,000-square-foot gym facilities. Lie by the 75-foot pool or sleep in and recharge (in Frette linens); whatever your body needs, there will be time for you to relax and enjoy the facilities.

Saturday night’s festivities will be capped by a cathartic burning ceremony led by energy healing expert Valerie Oula. (Oula is Director of Vibrational Healing at THE WELL, and is the founder of Modern Ritual NYC, a sanctuary for personal transformation. She is the author of two published books, A Little Bit Of Reiki, and Rest Rituals.)

Valley Rock Inn’s food and beverage program features locally sourced organic ingredients that are beautifully prepared and presented to support a healthy and delicious experience. All food and beverages, including nightly wine pairings and a signature cocktail, are provided.

AllSwell notebooks and writing implements will be provided (in addition to a selection of luxurious May Lindstrom skincare products and goodies from Perelel to complement your experience). Just bring you – and maybe a friend to share in this exquisite, transformative experience. Optional add-on activities include an 1:1 energy healing session with Valerie Oula; or facial / massage.*

There’s something about Laura—you meet her, and you immediately sense she’s going to take you places within yourself you’ve never been.” – AllSwell workshop participant

Gentle reminders: There’s no such thing as being “bad” at journaling, and you don’t have to be a proficient writer in order to get all the benefits of mindful journaling. At no point will anybody be asked to read aloud from the pages of their notebooks. Relax, enjoy.

Located just an hour away from Manhattan, and available by public transit, treat yourself to a restorative weekend without the hassle of airport stress or jetlag. Please reach out with any questions. We hope to see you soon.
