The Reset

Three days in the Catskills to rediscover your creative joy

The Reset is a three-day retreat for people who build things, makers, creatives, founders, and anyone whose work runs on imagination. It is made for the moment when you are still creating and still delivering, but the joy has gone quiet, and you feel strangely alone in it.

Set on 300+ acres at Menla, The Reset is three days to find your room: a small group moving through the very same thing, working through it side by side. The days are built from honest conversation, hands-on creative practice, movement, and somatic work, with unhurried time to walk the land, rest, and simply be.

This is not about producing a portfolio piece or having something to show for it when you get home. It is about reconnecting with creativity, play, and momentum, in good company. You arrive a stranger to some and leave with a community, and a clearer sense of what comes next.
