COLLECTIVE

Catskills, New York

November 5-8th, 2026

A lively Catskills getaway located on Shandelee Mountain, near the quaint town of Livingston Manor.

Located 2 hours north of New York City in the western Catskills, the Arnold House is a country retreat set on 80 acres of land with custom trails. Staying at The Arnold is an experience more akin to staying with old friends than a traditional hotel.

THE ARNOLD HOUSE,

CATSKILLS

MTHR is on the move! We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting two MTHR Collective retreats this year:

This page is dedicated to The Arnold House location, and below you’ll find information about the different accommodation types, pricing, travel logistics, speakers (announcements coming soon!), and a sample schedule.

In order to accommodate as many attendees as this property allows, single occupancy rooms will be extremely limited this year, so we encourage you to bring some mama friends or opt to be paired with another solo traveler. We are so excited to meet you, mama!

sound bath

This year, we’re thrilled to welcome back Dana from Methods & Rituals, who will be guiding us through a new and deeply restorative sound bath:

Cellular Renewal Sound Bath: 

A frequency-based ritual for skin regeneration and nervous system restoration. This immersive sound experience is designed with one intention: to support the body’s natural ability to repair and renew the skin at a cellular level.

Throughout the session, every element of the environment has been thoughtfully curated to support skin health. Crystal singing bowls tuned to 528 Hz — often referred to as the “DNA repair frequency”, will guide us into a deeply restorative state where the nervous system can shift from stress into repair. In this relaxed state, the body is better able to support circulation, lymphatic flow, and the regenerative processes that contribute to resilient, radiant skin.

This is more than a sound bath. It is a sensory ritual designed to nurture the body’s largest organ — the skin — from the inside out.

Rituals for Radiant Aging Workshop With Dana Waldie

Join Dana Waldie, founder of Methods & Rituals, holistic esthetician for an immersive skincare ritual experience designed to support women through the evolving changes of skin and wellness as we age.

Featuring OSMOSIS Beauty, this workshop focuses on the unique shifts that occur in the skin during perimenopause and beyond — including dryness, inflammation, sensitivity, hormonal breakouts, pigmentation, collagen loss, and changes in skin resilience. Even for women who may not yet be experiencing perimenopause, this class explores the powerful connection between aging, stress, hormones, and skin health, along with the key active ingredients that help support healthy, radiant skin long-term.

Guests will learn how ingredients like retinal, peptides, antioxidants, and barrier-supportive actives work to strengthen, protect, and renew the skin while being guided through a restorative facial ritual experience rooted in mindfulness and nervous system support.

Blending advanced holistic skincare with intentional self-care practices, this experience invites women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and approach aging through the lens of nourishment, resilience, and ritual.

Morning Wellness: Yin + Vinyasa Yoga with Chyla Walsh

We are thrilled to have Chyla Walsh join us as our yoga instructor this year! @chylawalsh is a yoga teacher, mother, founder of @female_rebels and co-owner of @somaenergetics. A devoted yoga teacher since 2012, Chyla weaves together her love of community, somatic movement, sound, breath, meditation, tuning forks, and sacred chanting into practices that invite deeper embodiment, healing, and self-discovery.

Through her work with Soma Energetics and her years of facilitating women’s transformational spaces, Chyla is passionate about supporting others to reconnect with their authentic essence and remember the wholeness that already lives within them. As a devoted mother of four, she brings a deep understanding of the beauty, complexity, and sacredness of motherhood.

She is ecstatic to share Yin Yoga and Tuning Forks, Embody + Empower Vinyasa Yoga, as well as self-care with tuning forks and sacred chanting with us in the Catskills. Her classes are an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and create space for the body, heart, and spirit to come home.
