A refreshing, accommodating and relaxing environment for retreats, workshops and conferences in the Catskills only a couple of hours from NYC… but over a million miles away.
Nestled in the midst of over 80,000 acres of Catskills wilderness preserve, one half hour west of Woodstock, New York, Full Moon Resort, a one hundred wonderland of mountains, fields and streams, is a world of its own. This turn of the century, year-round mountain resort, is the perfect setting for all types of retreats, workshops, conferences, group gatherings and reunions. For the past eight years, Full Moon Resort has hosted a broad spectrum of artistic, educational, corporate, recreational, spiritual and cultural groups – with the common thread being special attention to each diverse group’s particular needs.
At Full Moon, the key word is “connecting” – with others in the group, with nature and with oneself. Whether attending a serene, uplifting meditative retreat, a bonding company experience (including the work and business!), or an educational or artistic workshop, the connections simply happen.
Full Moon Resort offers charming, classic country inn accommodations and custom designed group dining on a rolling Catskills farm surrounded by mountain peaks, set within a Woodstock-inspired artistic environment. This unique combination provides a backdrop for a remarkably special experience for participants at conferences, retreats and workshops of all types.
