When was the last time that you did something for yourself that felt good? This would be a hard question to ask yourself at times.

In this busy world, it's hard to shut off and wind down. Finding time for ourselves is essential and vital to our health.

A healing retreat is set to take place at an "Award Winning" Hudson Valley oasis.

The benefits of attending a retreat are endless. Not only do they help us unwind, de-stress, feel rejuvenated and create peace, but we can learn valuable skills on how to continue this into our daily lives.

"Changes" is a unique retreat that will happen in the beautiful Catskills.

Hudson Valley natives can all agree that there's no place like home. From historic sites and mansions to views of the Hudson River and local streams, it's truly magical.

The Hudson Valley is home to nature lovers, city commuters, history buffs, and more.

There are picture-perfect scenes of farms with green rolling hills with cows and red barns all throughout New York state. Each county has a cute, quaint town or village filled with charm and character.

Each season has beautiful views in the Hudson Valley. With the change of season, this one-of-a-kind retreat will help those attending embrace all that they have to offer going forward.

This "high vibe" retreat will take place at the popular, Copperhead Retreat and Spa.

When are we not looking for a way to unwind? For myself, this is something that I do every day.

During this retreat, there are numerous options and ways to take the load off. Whether you choose to attend a yoga session, take a hike, swim in the heated pool and or relax in the hot tub, there's something for everyone. The sauna is calling my name.

At night, guests can enjoy the fire pit and stargazing.
