FriendsgivingA 4-Day Retreat · In English / Ukrainian

We’re heading to the Catskills for a long weekend away from the usual rhythm. Leave the city behind. Breathe in the crisp mountain air. Gather around the fire. Play, move, connect and explore something new. Walk through the forest. Slow down in the sauna, sip herbal tea, or find a quiet corner to read, be still, or simply be.

As late autumn settles in, take a break from the city buzz and everyday rush. Quiet the mind, reconnect with your body and the present moment, and gather around the table for a festive Thanksgiving dinner that feels like home. Enjoy meaningful connections, the simple joy of being together, and a cozy Hygge state of mind — one that stays with you long after the weekend ends.

Come with a friend or come on your own.
You’ll find your people along the way.

What to expect

The retreat unfolds over four days

Thursday, November 26

Arrive & Settle In

After the drive: welcome tea, the Friendsgiving dinner and a first evening by the fireplace. You meet the group and settle in. Nothing to prepare, nothing to prove.

Friday, November 27

Pause, Be & Tune In

A morning session to land in your body, then silent hours: no talking, no plans, nothing to do. Play-based practices in the late afternoon, sauna, a hygge dinner and vinyl by the fire.

Saturday, November 28

Play, Move & Connect

Practices in pairs and small groups, a movement practice and a walk on the forest trail, sauna in the crisp mountain air, and a festive dinner: the moments we create together.

Sunday, November 29



Reflect & Return

A gratitude practice and the closing circle: what this weekend gave you, in your own words. Then home, or a slow Catskills trail on the way.

Atmosphere & content

Inna Kliuchnyk

Inna is behind the atmosphere and the look of TISTO: the decor, the light, the long table, all the small details that turn a barn into a home for the weekend.

She also captures the weekend, so don't be surprised if you end up in her lens and, a little later, on our Instagram.

F.A.Q.

Who is this retreat for?

For anyone who feels the pressure and speed of the city and wants to slow down: get out into nature, breathe, meet new people and spend Thanksgiving, America's big family holiday, around one table with people who feel close. Come with a friend or come alone, whether this is your first TISTO event or your tenth.

Do I need any experience?

None. The practices are made by actors for non-actors: we write a little, move a little, sit in pairs and play. Every block is optional, including yoga.

What is included in the price?

Three nights in the farmhouse in the stay you choose: a private room for two, a bed in a shared room, or a bed or Japanese futon in the open area.

8 chef-prepared meals: three breakfasts, two lunches and three dinners, including the festive Friendsgiving dinner on Thursday.

Every practice, morning yoga, sauna and fireplace evenings are included too. Transportation is not included.

How do I get there?

Long Eddy, NY is about 3 hours from New York City by car. After you book, we help guests match carpools with each other.

How does payment work?

A $200 deposit per person ($400 for a private room) reserves your spot and goes toward the total. The balance is due by Sunday, November 1, 2026. The deposit is non-refundable. Before booking, please read our cancellation and refund policy

Can I come on my own?

Yes. The weekend is built for meeting people: shared meals, practices in pairs and small groups, and long evenings by the fire.

Come on your own, come with a friend, or bring your partner. Either way, you'll find your people along the way. Choose your stay below and reserve your spot.

What should I bring?

Travel light: towels and bedding are provided by the farmhouse, including towels for the sauna.

A must: rubber boots or waterproof shoes for the forest trail, and warm layers for late November in the mountains. Also bring comfortable clothes for movement, a swimsuit for the sauna, and a yoga mat if you plan to join morning yoga. A cozy blanket or sleeping bag is welcome for evenings by the outdoor fire.

We'll send a short packing list after you book.

I still have a question

Write to hello@tisto.studio or send us a DM on Instagram @tisto.nyc. Mariia, our retreat manager, answers every question personally.

We’ll gather in a century-old farmhouse with a warm, eclectic country-modern atmosphere. Surrounded by woodlands and the quiet beauty of the Delaware River region, it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and be present — with practices in a beautifully reimagined barn and, of course, time to unwind in the sauna. Throughout the weekend, we’ll share the same retreat experience — from practices and activities to meals and gatherings. The only choice is where you sleep. Choose the stay that feels right for you, and leave the rest to us.
