Experience this 5-Day/4-Night Retreat in the tranquil haven of Lifebridge Sanctuary, nestled in the mountains of Hudson Valley, NY.
- Do you feel exhausted no matter how much you rest?
- Maybe you're dealing with anxiety, pushing through the days and living in an intense state of stress. It can make you feel depleted.
- You have lots of responsibilities and you desire to be in a place where you don't have to be "on" most of the time.
Your body hasn't forgotten how to feel good. You need time and space to reset. Time to feel the Earth under your feet.
This is what Dwell In Possibilities will provide you. It is for women who are ready to find themselves again - at any stage of life.
Breathe deeply, move and reconnect. Through Possibility Sessions with meaningful inquiry and exercises, you will become more clear on what's happening with your body, mind, and emotions, to tap into what you need.
Reclaim your energy and sense of self. You don't need to travel far to find a deep sense of peace.
We know from experience that deep healing is not something to rush. It takes time and space. Join us in the sacred mountains of Hudson Valley, NY. Meet other women, share, sing, laugh, dance, and meet yourself again.
Awaken your spirit to adventure.
Hold nothing back.
Learn to find ease in risk.
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm, for your soul senses the world that awaits you.

from New Beginnings
Transformation is rarely tidy! Authentic transformation requires undoing - a softening or unraveling of the assumptions we’ve been holding. For this kind of honest work to unfold, people need a container that feels steady and real. At Lifebridge Sanctuary, the land, the buildings, and the true care given to the space create that sense of solidity. It allows retreat leaders and participants to go deeper, trusting the process and the place that holds them.
- Anna Noack, Lifebridge Sanctuary Steward
Your Dwell In Possibilities Retreat at Lifebridge Sanctuary includes:
Lovely & Colorful Accommodations
All rooms are simple and cozy. They provide a feeling of comfort and offer a quiet place to relax and reflect. You can choose a single room for a private experience or share a room with a friend.
Scrumptious Meals
Breakfast, lunch and dinner served daily (snacks as well) by our private chef, Cathy Vogt, at anaturalchef.com, who loves working at Lifebridge Sanctuary! Vegetarian meals that feature nourishing, flavorful, and healthy ingredients will be lovingly created with food sensitivities in mind.
Upon arrival, bubbly (alcohol and non-alcohol) awaits as our way of saying, “Welcome to DIP!”
All-Access Outdoor Space
The weather may be warm enough to bask in the sun and cool enough to share some fireside chats in the evening. The grounds offer a labyrinth, gazebo, sculptures, outdoor deck, porches and balconies. We can dance and sing under the stars!
Magical Movement
We move to all types of music, not just to have fun (and we do!), but to move in ways that allow us to feel better in our bodies. We will guide you in balancing your energy and emotions with simple movements that invite authentic expression. In this space, you can deeply listen to your body, trusting there is a path that will open for you.
Possibility Sessions
Our signature retreat Possibility Sessions are where we dig in and find the real, raw, honest stuff that might be blocking us from living life. We'll explore themes such as aging, the effects of menopause stages, hearing and following your own voice and your own needs despite the noise of the world. We'll learn what it means to truly Slow Down and spend time with experiences that are universal and important to us all.
Dwell in Possibilities offers the perfect playground to explore the body, mind, emotion and spirit of “You” in this moment. Deep-dwelling or surface-skimming, surrounded and supported by caring, like-minded women . . . and oh, the belly laughs!

“Life is full of ups and downs. I was lucky enough to spend a week with two of my sisters, having no idea what to expect of the Dwell In Possibilities Retreat. It was a wonderful experience, meeting women of all ages and from all walks of life, exploring the beauty of the local area, and most importantly, learning and sharing ways to make the most of this beautiful life.”
- Debbie H., Laura E. and Sue D.

We have grown so much over the course of our long friendship, and we continue to appreciate and learn from one another. Although we are returning to a familiar location, it feels like it is for the first time.
We create each DIP gathering from scratch with intention, care and love, tailored for you and the time in which we are living. Our sacred circle invites a spiritual quality, something intangible, revealing who we are as women and human beings.
As we come together, we remember the significant impact that we have on each other, on our families and friends, and on the world. Our work, our words, and the way we express ourselves everyday matters.
It takes courage to step in, to be present, to look inward, and to follow your heart and soul. As we dance with the richness of who we are and all that we bring, we step into the fullness of our lives right here and now.
The time feels right, the place feels right. Coming back home to Lifebridge feels RIGHT!
It is time to DIP in.
I don’t know where to begin. You two helped me realize and reach in and find my light, the light that was always there. I had not felt it in such a long time. Now I Am - you helped me to make peace with myself, to feel confident in who I am, to let go, to move on. I feel unburdened. I feel transformed. And I continue to reap the benefits from our DIP Retreat. I am forever changed, forever grateful.
