Worth the Trip

Quite simply, I would not hesitate to drive the almost four-hour trip from Central New York to Copper Beech to experience the serenity, beauty and soul of this Institute again.

A Unique Peace

I come to Copper Beech to dive deeper into my meditation practice and for the connection of community. Everyone is authentic, nothing is commercial, and there is a peace here unlike any other place I’ve been.

Haven...Heaven...Home

Copper Beech Institute is not really an institute. It’s a haven, a heaven, a home — a peaceful space to nourish your soul, meet kindred spirits and learn the art of compassion.

Unplug and Reconnect

I encourage everyone to unplug for a weekend to reconnect to self — and to learn about love, compassion and kindness for oneself and for others. Thank you for a soul-impacting weekend!
