Unplug & Remember
Before winter arrives,
come back to yourself
This is not a vacation. It is not a workshop. It is something older — a gathering before the dark season, a chance to shed what no longer serves before you turn inward for winter.
Unplug & Remember is a sleep-away camp for adults who are ready to put down the phone, breathe clean air, make things with their hands, move their bodies, sing without reason, and sit in the kind of silence that actually heals.
You will leave with full lungs, soft eyes, and the memory of who you are when no one is watching.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Six pillars woven into a weekend of living without distraction.
Medicine Making
Craft elderberry syrup from local plant allies — a hands-on ritual to fortify your body and carry the wisdom of the land into winter.
Waterfall Hike
A guided walk through the autumn landscape to a hidden waterfall. Let the land slow you down and bring you back to yourself.
Songs by Fire
Gather around the flame for medicinal songs — ancient melodies that open the chest, soften the heart, and stitch community together.
Movement Medicine
Yoga, qigong, ecstatic dance, breathwork, and sound bath woven throughout the retreat. Movement as prayer, not performance.
Local Organic Food
Every meal sourced nearby, prepared with care. Seasonal, nourishing, communal — food as medicine.
Sacred Community
No small talk. Space to be fully seen, held, and celebrated in your becoming — with those who chose to show up just like you.
A walk into
the living forest
We begin before the mind has had time to fill itself with noise. The trail leads through old growth, past root and stone, toward the sound of water long before we can see it.
This is not a fitness hike. It is a pilgrimage. We walk as if the earth is sacred — because it is. Every step a small act of remembering.
No experience required. Sturdy footwear recommended. An open heart, essential.
"We enter the portal in silence — no words, no phones, only the sound of what has always been here."
A portion of the hike is held in intentional silence. We move together as one body, listening to the forest, letting the waterfall speak what language cannot reach.
One weekend.
A lifetime of remembering.

Arrival & Welcome
Settle in, meet the land. Check into your accommodation and let the transition begin — from the world you came from to the one waiting here.
ArrivalOpening Circle
We gather as strangers and leave as something else. Introductions, intentions, and the agreements that hold the container.
CommunityFirst Meal Together & Song by Fire
Local organic food prepared with care. After dinner, we gather at the fire for medicinal songs — the first thread of community woven together.
Food · Songs by FireYoga & Breathwork
Move into the body before the mind takes over. A grounding practice to open the day — breath first, then movement.
Movement MedicineElderberry Syrup Making
Hands in the medicine. We work with local plant allies to craft elderberry syrup — a ritual of preparation for the winter ahead.
Medicine MakingWaterfall Hike
We walk into the living forest in silence — a pilgrimage through old growth to a hidden waterfall. The land speaks. We listen.
Waterfall Hike · SilenceSauna & Rest
Release what the body held on the trail. The sauna is a ritual, not a spa treatment — sweat, stillness, and renewal.
Sauna RitualSound Bath & Ecstatic Dance
First, stillness. Then, surrender. Let the sound move through you before the dance moves you — a full arc from inner to outer.
Sound Bath · Ecstatic DanceSongs by Fire
Medicinal songs under open sky. The fire holds what words cannot — this is where community becomes something real.
Songs by FireQigong & Silent Walk
Begin the final day with slowness. Qigong to move the energy gathered over the weekend, followed by a silent walk to close the arc.
Qigong · MovementIntegration Circle
What are you taking home? We sit together to name what shifted, what opened, and what we choose to carry forward.
CommunityFinal Meal & Closing
A last meal together — slow, nourishing, communal. Then the closing ritual: the words we speak to send each other back into the world.
Food · Closing RitualDeparture
Leave when you are ready. You are not the same person who arrived on Friday.
DepartureElderberry syrup
for the winter ahead
Before the cold arrives, the land offers what we need. Elderberry has been used for centuries as one of nature's most potent allies — antiviral, immune-building, deeply nourishing.
Together we will gather, prepare, and craft your own elderberry syrup from scratch. Hands in the medicine, surrounded by community, guided by intention. This is not a workshop — it is a ritual of care.
You will leave with a jar of syrup you made yourself and the knowledge to make it again every autumn.
Gather around
the fire
Every night ends the same way it has ended for ten thousand years: a fire, a circle, voices rising together.
Our nightly fire circles weave song, spoken word, and sacred silence. No performance required. Only presence. Songs are simple, elemental — you will know them before you think you know them.
Bring what you have been carrying. The fire will know what to do with it.
Move as prayer,
not performance
Five practices woven through the weekend — each one an invitation to return to the body as home, not a machine to be optimized.
Yoga
Slow, seasonal, attuned to autumn's energy of release. Not a workout — a conversation with the body.
Qigong
Ancient energy cultivation to open each morning. Gentle, grounding, and profoundly present.
Breathwork
Guided breathwork sessions to clear, activate, and regulate — the fastest path back to yourself.
Ecstatic Dance
No mirrors. No judgment. Free-form movement to live music — go somewhere you did not know you needed to go.
Sound Bath
Vibrational healing through sound — bowls, tones, and resonance that reach what words and movement cannot.
Off-grid.
Wood-fired.
Deeply restful.

Food that remembers
where it came from
Every meal is sourced locally, prepared with seasonal intention, and served communally. Think long tables, shared bowls, and the smell of something good on a wood fire.
Our kitchen works with local farms to bring you the last abundance of the growing season — roasted roots, wild harvests, warming broths, and hand-baked bread.
Dietary restrictions are honored. Nourishment is the only agenda.
Rhythm over routine
The full schedule is still taking shape — this is a sense of the rhythm, not a final itinerary. Expect mornings that move slowly, afternoons in nature, and evenings gathered around fire.
Sample rhythm only — final schedule released closer to the retreat date.
There are people you haven't met yet who will know exactly
what you mean when you can't quite say it.

What you might be wondering
Not at all. Every offering — yoga, qigong, breathwork, ecstatic dance, sound bath, elderberry medicine making — is open to all levels. The only prerequisite is a willingness to show up and follow your curiosity. Tasha and all facilitators are experienced in holding space for a wide range of backgrounds.
The property is intentionally designed to reduce digital dependency. Cell signal is limited and the space invites a genuine step back from screens and noise. Electricity is available in the main building for essential needs, but your accommodation — whether yurt, canvas tent, or A-frame — is wood-stove heated and deliberately simple. This is a feature, not a limitation.
There are four options at different price points: Bring Your Own Tent (request-only, prior approval required), Shared 15' Canvas Bell Tent (2 double beds, linens provided), Shared 20' Yurt (queen, double, and two singles, wood stove with firewood included), and the Private "44" A-Frame Cabin (double bed, wood-burning stove, solo or couple). All guests share the cedar barrel sauna, communal bathhouse, communal kitchen, and fire pit.
The hike leads to a waterfall on trails adjacent to Minnewaska State Park, directly from the property's 20 acres of forest. A portion of the hike includes a silence portal — a section walked in complete stillness, as a moving meditation. The trail is accessible to most fitness levels, though sturdy footwear is recommended. No hike is ever mandatory.
Together we prepare elderberry syrup as a hands-on ritual — a plant ally practice timed intentionally for the shift into winter. You will leave with a jar of syrup you made yourself and a deeper relationship with the plants that support immune health through the cold months. No prior herbalism experience needed.
The full itinerary is still being finalized and will be shared closer to the retreat date. What is confirmed: mornings of movement, an elderberry medicine making session, the waterfall hike with a silence portal, sauna access, ecstatic dance, sound bath, and nightly songs by fire. The rhythm is intentional — enough structure to hold you, enough space to surprise you.
