With the idea of creating a retreat center in a less-populated city environment, Sapientia Initiative purchased 16 acres of property in upstate New York. The land, a combination of woodlands, hillside vistas, and fields, as well as a swimming pond, provides the ideal retreat environs for our community.

A multi-year plan aims to expand the retreat center’s current offerings to include several small dwellings and yurts and a bathhouse, as well as a community kitchen for residential courses. Until that time, residential courses will be offered at the nearby Mill Pond Inn.
