WHERE THE PATH SPEAKS

at The Abode in New Lebanon, New York

July 24 - 26, 2026

A visionary weekend retreat for women who are ready to cross the threshold – guided by deep reflective practices, sacred walks and the transformational power of a new story.

Something is calling you.

Perhaps you feel it as restlessness, or longing, or the quiet sense that the story you've been living no longer nourishes you. Perhaps you simply know - the way the body knows - that it is time.

This visionary weekend is designed for women who are ready to cross the threshold – guided by deep reflective practices, sacred walks and the transformational power of a new story.

There are times in life when the story we have been living no longer supports or sustains us. We may find ourselves adrift in a sea of confusion and uncertainty, not knowing how to move forward. These threshold moments, though often uncomfortable, carry within them the seeds of our deepest transformation. We discover that uncertainty is not the absence of wisdom but its very birthplace. And that to step into this liminal space, we are asked to become dreamers of a new dream, storytellers and myth makers, mapmakers and alchemists ready to transform the grit of our past into the gold of a re-imagined vision. This takes wisdom, imagination and the courage to begin again.

Where the Path Speaks is an invitation to answer that call. Set against the sacred landscape of a mountain retreat, you are invited to cross the threshold and explore your enlivened new story with new eyes, guided by deep listening, reflective journaling, mandala drawing, transformational storytelling and the illuminating power of the Seven Lanterns, a framework to support you on your unique journey.  You will leave having seeded your new vision with clear intention and courageous becoming.

You will arrive at The Abode in upper New York State,  a mountain sanctuary unlike any other. Its land carries the memory of the Mohican people, the Shakers, and the Sufi tradition - three lineages of seekers, each rooted in a different kind of knowing. To walk there is to walk on ground that has held prayer for centuries. It will hold us, too.

We will gather at the height of summer, when the light is long and the mountain is generous. Together we will walk, reflect, draw, write, and story our way into what is asking to be born in us.  

This is not a workshop. It is a threshold experience - designed for women who are ready to cross into their next chapter.
