Travel Guide — New Paltz, NY
New Paltz, NY — As an alumni of nearby Marist College, where The Purple Thread first began, I have always found the surrounding Hudson Valley area to be extra special. Each Fall, a visit just feels right. Enjoy the weekend’s highlights of local food and wine, restorative yoga, and slow mornings.

As always, balanced well-being isn’t perfect. It’s better.
For a get-away, it means a little planning, but plenty of room to wander, eating well but keeping a “when in Rome” mindset, movement that feels good but maybe at a slower pace, and perhaps sharing it with others. (Though sometimes, time alone is just the answer). You’ll know what you need.
Remember to try to take a little bit of what feels good while “away,” home with you.
