Bikepacking Retreat on Empire State Trail

Did you know New York State is home to the amazing Empire State Trail, a (mostly protected) 750 mile trail for biking and walking?

Join us as we traverse the lower leg of this trail for our inaugural bikepacking retreat — a weekend of biking, camaraderie and communion with all that New York State has to offer.

We will depart from Van Cortland Park in the Bronx and travel by bicycle to Brewster, NY (150 miles roundtrip) to a secluded historic home for a weekend of breathwork, meditation, campfire shenanigans and incredible food. Included in the cost are accommodations for Friday and Saturday evening, workshop sessions and most meals (we will stop for lunch on the way which is not included and we suggest copious amounts of snacks on the gear list you’ll receive). Add-on wellness services are available such as one on one healing sessions.

There are only 12 spaces available! Join us for this epic springtime adventure by submitting a 50% deposit today of $383.

Gear can be borrowed or rented and should not be what limits your participation!
