Introducing Lifebridge Sanctuary

Beauty        Privacy        Quiet

Lifebridge Sanctuary, the Hudson Valley’s newest meeting and retreat centre is truly a place of beauty, privacy and quiet, offering a perfect environment for overnight retreats or day conferences.

The care taken in every aspect of the design and building of the facility, together with the expansive Catskill views and the unspoiled woodland environment have helped to create a space perfectly suited to deep reflective work and purposeful creativity.

“The Lifebridge Sanctuary radiates a special warmth. I believe it to be an important resource for all of us who feel that our environments can nurture both our inner lives and our outer work.”

–Bob Dandrew, Director NoVo Foundation.

Retreats and Conferences

The Lifebridge Sanctuary is a 12,000 square foot hand crafted, green facility on 95 acres of forest and spectacular open space on the Northern crest of the Shawangunk Ridge, close to the small township of Rosendale, eighty miles north of New York City. A variety of meeting spaces are available, including the Upper Room with a wide view of the Catskills, holding up to 60 people and numerous smaller spaces. Up to 30 people can stay in the comfortable bedrooms, many with mountain or forest views. Dining can be inside or out, formal or informal and events can be fully catered or the group can prepare meals together in the state of the art kitchen.

I have been conducting trainings for 16 years and never have I worked in an environment that was so healing, in tune with nature, so comfortable and so conducive to learning.

–Eileen Rowley, Agency Director, Ulster County Dispute Resolution Center

Affordable

The Lifebridge Foundation is able to underwrite some of the costs of the facility making the price very affordable and attractive to non-profits. Local, regional, national and even international groups have held board and staff retreats, trainings and workshops at the Sanctuary. All have commented on the beauty and care with which the building was constructed. Please contact us for bookings or enquires about availability and costs.

We've created a sanctuary where social visionaries can nurture their inspiration and creativity amidst spectacular vistas and warm easy comfort.

–Barbara Valocore, Lifebridge President.

Powered by the Sun

During the summer and fall of 2011 a new solar system was installed at the Sanctuary. The six solar panels provide 85% of the buildings' electrical needs.
