Retreat. Stay. Explore. Restore. Celebrate. With a purpose.
We are dedicated to creating spaces and experiences that explore, broaden, and realize human potential.
We optimize the human instrument across Nine UPstate Pillars:
PEOPLE> WELLNESS> MUSIC & ARTS> FOOD> EDUCATION> SPACE> INTEGRATION> SUSTAINABILITY> STEWARDSHIP
We nourish the human spirit of adventure, togetherness, and our ability to feel good.
We feed our innate creativity with expressions of divine presence and celebration.
We share and incubate key information, concepts and initiatives for Living.
We create integrated spaces that restore and incite the human container, while protecting and nurturing our world.
We celebrate and participate on our Ninth Pillar:
STEWARDSHIP
Proceeds from all our stays, experiences and retreats support organizations in need, real time.
Optional participation in local aid initiatives is weaved into all UPstate programs abroad.
We aim towards Self Expression and Advancement; and Other’s Advancement too.
