Indigenous Wisdom
We honor global traditions and the wisdom found in ancient cultures. Our retreat center hosts a wide range of global and local facilitators carrying traditions supporting your whole being.
Natural Experiences
We trust in the healing wisdom of the natural world to support our transformation. Our events foster pathways to inspire, teach, and grow with a balanced approach to science and spirituality, honoring ancient and modern teachings.
Community Care
We believe that community is the core of sustainable transformation. Our programs are intergenerational and curated to ensure diverse groups of people come together on common ground.
Natural Experiences for Sustainable Transformation
The Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation N.E.S.T. stands as a transformative sanctuary, harmonizing education, spirituality, and healing within the serene hills of Mount Guardian's sacred forest, just a stroll away from Woodstock, NY. This haven, sprawled across 23 acres, transcends the conventional, serving as both a creative safe space and an incubation station for your transformation.
Reconnect in Nature
More than a physical space, the N.E.S.T. embodies intentional family living and collaborative endeavors, fostering a vibrant hub for metamorphosis. Through the natural unfolding of storytelling, ritual, alternative healing, and earth-honoring activities, the N.E.S.T. emerges as a catalyst for profound transformation.
Curated Experiences for Connection
Consciously curated for healthful living, the N.E.S.T. places a central focus on nurturing the body, mind, soul, and spirit. At its core, the essence of a loving community permeates every nook and cranny, intricately woven into the fabric of the sanctuary and seamlessly integrated into our diverse program offerings.
