'25 NYC Autumn Retreat

Retreat dates: October 9-12, 2025

New York City, NY

••••••••••

Our hearts beat differently in New York City. There is no other city in the world like it. The energy, atmosphere, and inspiration around every corner; and the crisp air of autumn kicks the city into high gear with what it has to offer. Regardless of your callings, gifts, and passions—-NYC will infuse you with creative inspiration, and spur you on in your purpose after spending a few days there.

Join us as we share some of our favorite spots of inspiration; which will include shops, parks, cafes, restaurants, and special experiences that aren’t on the list of tourist attractions. We’ll meander some of our favorite neighborhoods, the gritty and the shiny, the busy and the quiet. It will be an honor to share this special city with you through our eyes, it holds a near and dear place in our hearts. We’ve curated four days of beauty chasing, in hopes to give you a taste of the city that you’ve not experienced, even if you’ve visited before.

Housed in a beautiful boutique hotel in NoMad we will awake each morning to take off on a new adventure in a different area. Whether picnicking and boating on the pond in Central Park, meandering down streets and in shops, or savoring great food and atmospheres at incredible restaurants…you will be filled to overflowing with the gems this magnificent city has to offer.

On The Cottage Table Experience NYC Autumn Retreat you are not a tourist; as you will experience NYC as the locals do. We seek to be beauty chasers and intentionally savor meals, moments, and people wherever we find ourselves. Will you join us at the table in NYC?

Come with us to be energized and inspired as only you can be in NYC.
