Beauty, Privacy, Quiet
Lifebridge Sanctuary, the Hudson Valley’s unique meeting and retreat center is a place of beauty, privacy and quiet, offering a perfect environment for overnight retreats or day conferences.
Care was taken in every aspect of the design and building of the facility, and together with the expansive Catskill views and the unspoiled woodland environment, a space has been created that is perfectly suited to deep reflective work and purposeful creativity.
Retreats and Conferences
Lifebridge Sanctuary is a 12,000 sq. ft. hand crafted, green facility on 95 acres of forest and spectacular open space on the Northern crest of the Shawangunk Ridge, close to the small township of Rosendale, eighty miles north of New York City. A variety of meeting spaces are available, including the Upper Room with a wide view of the Catskills, holding up to 60 people and numerous smaller spaces. Up to 36 people can stay in the comfortable bedrooms, many with mountain or forest views. Dining can be inside or out, formal or informal and events can be fully catered or the group can prepare meals together in the state of the art kitchen.
