Our home base in Vermont, OQ Farm,  is a 500-acre legacy farm located near the quaint and historic town of Woodstock, voted one of the most beautiful towns in America. This gem of a property, exclusive to our group,  is tucked into the quiet hillside of the green mountains yet minutes away from the action. Quaint cottages placed around the property convey a classic Vermont architectural vernacular. The rustic decor of antiques, hand hewn beams, barn board, and fieldstone fireplace all combine to provide a warm, friendly ambiance; Rolling hills, wall to wall foliage and peacefulness of the landscape say it all!

Built for comfort, with miles of hiking and walking trails, an onsite heated yoga studio, grand bonfire pit tucked into the woods, main house for meals, conversation &  general relaxing in overstuffed couches, you’ll find yourself planning the next visit as soon as you arrive! 

Overview:

This annual 5 day four night green mountain experience combines the quintessential Vermont breath of fresh air, stunning colors of Fall foliage plant based nourishment, movement, hiking through the green mountains, meditation and most of all tons of fun with like minded folks - just when we need it the most! Settle into the season, take in the incredible foliage and fresh air of the mountains, and take time for yourself after a busy summer of doing for everyone else.  Our home base was recently described by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the most beautiful locations in the entire country. We couldn’t agree more!

The Lodging
