Camp Mental Retreat
Mental NYC is assembling a focus group to head high into the Catskills for a weekend of mindful movement, meditation, and conversation. The event will take place September 13th-15th under the full harvest moon. Join us for a transformative weekend of intention setting, Mental Movement & Meditation sessions, and summer camp style bliss.
For this retreat, we’ll be trekking it to HEREHERE. While you can expect all the classic camp stand by’s – swimming hole, mess hall, fresh mountain air, and so much room for activities – this is not your teenage summer camp.
About Mental NYC
Mental NYC is a mental wellness focused community founded by Sarah O’Shea and Brendan Murphy. Our core offering, Mental Movement, focuses on the mental benefits of physical fitness by bridging the gap between movement and meditation. We have produced events at North Brooklyn Farms, Scribner’s Catskill Lodge, 325 Kent Rooftop, and Soho House locations. As we look towards opening our first studio in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, we are calling on our community to help us shape the future of Mental NYC. This retreat is the first step towards building a collaborative community committed to creating a platform for mental health conversation. Learn more here.
