Location

Nestled in the Adirondacks, overlooking a beautiful pristine lake, with miles of private ski and hiking trails, the lodge is the focal point of a special place that offers options for activity as well as rest and relaxation. Only 60 minutes from Downtown Saratoga Springs, in the beautiful Adirondacks, at Garnet Hill Lodge is where we will gather. This beautiful property that overlooks the lake that has the feel and flavor of an authentic Adirondack lodge. In addition to a stunning view of Lake George and the fall foliage, this lodge offers a wonderful restaurant (custom meals will be served for the group),

Price:
The price for this weekend will be $525 per person for double occupancy; we will pair you up with a same sex roommate if you are a single registrant but want a double occupancy!)  

What’s included:
This price includes everything for the weekend that you will be doing – lodging, delicious carefully prepared meals, Yoga, meditation, skiing (pass and lessons - rentals are extra), parties, events, and wine. You will only be responsible for getting yourself to the hotel, equipment rentals and any alcohol you would like to consume (beyond the wine). 

Activities

Yoga – if you have never practiced yoga or if you have a regular practice, you will love practicing here. Carrie Kaufman and Vicki Brignati are both accomplished Y200 yoga teachers with years of experience.  They will lead you through challenging and relaxing practices.
 
Meditation – start the day with a meditation. This guided meditation will enable you to start your day with clarity and a renewed sense of calm. If you have never meditated before, come try it. The benefits are many.
 
Team events – There will be social events both Friday and Saturday evenings for people to gather, get to know each other, let off steam and have a great time.  (think moonlight snow shoeing, bon fires and karaoke!)
 
Workshops – Carrie and Vicki will lead the group through workshops looking at stress triggers, coping mechanisms and finding joy and energy through any stressful time.  The participants will help support and give ideas for ways to enjoy the winter season in the best way possible.

Agenda

Friday:
