Grounded & Gratetul
Join Sarah Metcalf and Lindsay Janisse for a weekend of movement, nourishment, and stillness at Grateful Woods — a 75-acre farm nestled in the beautiful Hudson Valley that feels, from the moment you arrive, like it was made for exactly this kind of slowing down.
Set among deep woods, golden meadows, and the gentle sound of a waterfall tumbling into a creek, Grateful Woods is a place to leave it all behind for a little while. Consider this your invitation to carve out a quiet moment before the holiday season picks up speed. Over three days, we'll move together, eat well, explore the land, and carve out real time to come back to ourselves.
