AMG RETREATS THE WILD RETURN RETREAT UPSTATE NEW YORK SEPT 24 - SEPT 27, 2026

Remember What It Feels Like To Be ALIVE

A 3-night retreat in the Catskills designed for women who have given everything — and are finally ready to return to themselves.

Yes, I need this

You haven’t lost yourself. You’ve just been buried.

You have built a remarkable life. Career, family, responsibilities - all carefully tended. And somewhere in the relentless doing of it all, the woman who loves wild mornings and deep conversations and feeling of cold air in her lungs quietly receded.

This is not an escape from your life. It’s a return to fullest version of it.

Over four days in the mountains of upstate New York, you’ll trade the noise for stillness, the screen for sky, and the chronic exhaustion form something richer - a visceral, bone-deep sense of being present in your own life again.

“You are not burnt out because you are weak. You are burnt out because you have been extraordinary for far too long without rest.”

~ THE EXPERIENCE ~

Every element of this retreat has been chosen with intention - to bring you back into your body, your breath, and your own extraordinary instincts.

  • Landscape view of rolling mountains and a forest with fog in the valleys at sunrise or sunset.

    Mountain Hikes

    Trail walks through the ancient Catskills. Feel the ground beneath your feet and something larger than your to-do list.

  • A person holding a singing bowl with a small mallet, surrounded by crystals and a smudging bundle on a textured cloth.

    Sounds Baths and Yoga

    Start each day with a grounding practice to move your body and end the day with deep healing sound baths to calm your nervous system.

  • A small wooden sauna with glass door situated on a wooden deck in a snowy forest.

    Sauna and Cold Plunge

    Activate your body’s ancient capacity for resilience. The contrast of fire and ice clears the mental static with startling clarity.

  • Plate with grilled fish topped with lemon slices, green herb sauce, roasted broccoli, grilled asparagus, corn, and sliced carrots on a green sauce.

    Nourishing Meals

    Seasonal brunch and dinner made from local ingredients. Food that reminds you that eating is one of life’s great pleasures - not a task to manage.

  • Group of people sitting around campfire on logs and rocks at night, surrounded by trees, near a body of water.

    Circle & Connection

    Evening gatherings with a small group of women who understand the terrain you’ve been walking. Real conversation. Rare relief.

  • A woman sitting on a rock outdoors in a foggy, forested area, writing in a notebook. She is wearing a brown hat, a checkered shirt, and orange hiking boots.

    Unstructured Time

    Journaling. Reading. Massage. Or do absolutely nothing. Space to hear your own thoughts for the first time in months.

Count Me In!

The Shift

You arrive one way. You leave different.

Not a new person - a remembered one. The woman who knew how to rest. Who trusted her intuition. Who felt things fully. She didn’t disappear. She’s been waiting.

You arrive running on empty, wondering when you became someone who just gets through the day. ———>

You arrive disconnected from your body, moving through life from the neck up. ———>

You arrive craving something you can’t name - just knowing something essential is missing. —-—>

You leave rested in a way sleep alone can’t give you - a full body, full soul restoration.

You leave embodied, present, electric with the feeling of being alive in your own skin again.

You leave knowing exactly who you are, what you want, and what deserves your extraordinary energy.

Where We Gather

A place that holds you while you let go.

Sowilo Retreat is a family-run sanctuary nestled in the mountains of upstate New York - built not as a resort, but as a refuge. The kind of place that where the land itself participates in your healing.

Stone and timber. The smell of woodsmoke. Mornings so quiet you can hear yourself think. Ancient ridge lines that put the pace of modern life in it’s proper perspective.

Spots are extremely limited ~ only 10-12 are available!

Your Host

I created this retreat because I needed it too.

I’m Alison - wife, mom to three incredible daughters, entrepreneur, lifelong wellness enthusiast, and a brand-new empty nester standing in a season of reinvention I never fully saw coming.

Somewhere between raising strong girls, building businesses, and holding everything together, the house got quieter. And in that quiet came a question I couldn’t ignore: What about you?

I’ve had a beautiful life. AND I’ve also reached that moment so many of us do - the one where you realize you’ve poured yourself into everyone and everything else and suddenly wonder who you’re becoming now. That question changed everything.

AMG Retreats is my answer.

I created this space for women like us - women who are capable, accomplished, caring, and craving something deeper. A place to slow down, breathe, reflect, and return home to themselves without guilt, pressure, or explanation.

This retreat isn’t something I designed from the outside. It’s something I built from the inside of my own becoming. And I can’t wait to share it with you.

~~ Alison
