Introducing | Understory
Coming Winter 2028. A nature-inspired wellness retreat with spa, bathhouse and forest saunas on 56 acres in Copake, NY.
In a world addicted to speed and distraction, we envision a future where slowing down isn’t an escape from life, but a way of living it.
Less performance, more presence.
Where nature grounds us, shared rituals connect us, and we remember what it feels like to be fully here.
Ancient Rituals for Modern Restoration
RECEIVE
Bodywork and sound healing, for the wellbeing of mind and body.
REST
In places created for relaxation, long exhales and restoration.
WANDER
Through the landscape reconnecting with the ecosystem that sustains us.
GATHER
For conversation and the unexpected connections that happen when we put our phones down.
PLUNGE
In cold water that brings you back to the present, and hot water that lets you settle into it.
SAUNA
In communal and private spaces designed to help the body soften and the outside world recede.
Most wellness helps you escape. Understory helps you return.
To your body. To your community. To the natural world.
Set on 56 acres in the Hudson Valley, Understory is a wellness destination designed to restore the nervous systems of those who lead, create, care, and build—so they can show up whole, grounded, and alive in purpose.
