Abby’s Magical Weekend - November 17-19, 2023

 

VISION: My vision for Abby’s Magical Weekend is to host “ABBY STYLE” 20-40 of my favorite humans who are kind, smart and generous … for us to gather in nature… and create an incredible experience of relaxation, nurture, and connection!  This is a highly curated, bespoke and special experience.  You are receiving a personal invitation from my heart and I hope you will join me! Also, for transparency, I am hosting, organizing and planning out of true desire and the spirit of “gifting joy”- this is not a revenue-generating event. However, I hope it plants more possibilities for the future of Casa Abby!

This past spring as I was emerging from depression, I reflected on what gives me JOY in life.  A loud answer: My friends, hosting, nature, creating beautiful and meaningful experiences, sharing connections… you know- the Spirit of The Badassery!

I’m honored to invite you to this very special weekend- which is also an EXPERIMENT! And it’s gonna be one amazing experience!

VENUE: I have a connection to Glynwood Farms in Coldspring, NY… nearly a decade ago we hosted a Redwoods retreat and it was wonderful! I have also organized day hikes with friends on the property many moons ago. Glynwood is truly a magical place: from a working sustainable farm to public farmers’ market, education programs for the advancement of Hudson Valley sustainable agricultural practices, and historic land conservation.

ABOUT THE AGENDA: Co-Ed, catered family-style meals, farm-to-table breakfast, phenomenal and newly remodeled guest rooms (all but 2 have their own bathroom), cozy spaces, outdoor adventures, farm tour, music with special guests, massages and yoga (both optional). You know, it is like if I had my own country manor and could invite my favorite folks for the weekend! There is no formal “program or agenda”… but you can be certain that the experience will be… well, Magical! Trust me.

WHAT IF I WANT TO BRING A PARTNER, SPOUSE or SPECIAL SOMEONE? Of course…. I am hoping that several couples will join!

WHAT IF I WANT TO JOIN, BUT CANNOT SPEND THE NIGHT? We have an option for a day pass on Saturday

FINANCIALS: I am working on the breakdown of rooms vs. single, shared, couples… along with the catering costs. This is a self-funded weekend- just looking to cover the costs- which are very reasonable!

  • Single person, shared room, private bed (full) + curation and culinary delights for 2 days/ 2 nights: $700

  • Single person, private room/bathroom (full or queen) + curation and culinary delights for 2 days/ 2 nights: $950

  • Two people, private room/bathroom, shared bed (queen) + curation and culinary delights for 2 days/ 2 nights:$1100

  • Saturday day pass: $70 for lunch or dinner; $130 for both

    GENEROSITY AND SPONSORS: I’m over the moon that we already have two generous folks who wanted to contribute a little extra to make sure we can have inclusion of various socio-economic backgrounds. I was taken aback by their offering and fully accepted the support! Let me know if you would like to contribute a little extra so that others can fully participate in an amazing experience.

SCHEDULE:

Friday, November 17 - Check in 1pm - Dinner at 6:30pm

Saturday, November 18- Magic All Day!

Sunday, November 19- Check out at 11am

TRANSPORTATION: Coldspring, NY is less than 1.5 hours from NYC in the Hudson Valley. You can drive or take the train. I will help to coordinate some travel logistics from the train-goers. Highly recommend making time on either side of your trip for Dia Beacon Museum, Storm King Sculpture Park, and a hike up BreakNeck Mountain. Oh- and the wonderful Magazzino Art Museum too!

GRATITUDE: I am grateful that you are in my orbit of special people and hope you can join!
