Here & Now
Retreats
Reconnect with Yourself, Community, and the Natural World
Offering immersive, nature-based retreats that bring together mind-body practices, shared experience, and learning from the environments that host us.
Expert Practitioners
Guided with care
Each retreat is led by experienced practitioners who bring depth, presence, and intention to their work. Offerings are designed to help you engage with your body and your experience in ways that feel accessible and grounded. You’re invited to participate at your own pace, without pressure or expectation. The focus is on creating space for awareness, connection, and meaningful engagement.
Nature-Based Sites
Rooted in place
Our retreats take place in environments deeply connected to the land—working farms, natural landscapes, and spaces committed to sustainable practices. These locations are not just settings, but integral to the experience itself. You’ll learn how each place is cared for, what it produces, and the values that shape it. Being here invites a more direct and grounded relationship with the natural world.
Shared Experiences
Connection in community
Each retreat is shaped by a sense of community. Through shared experiences and time spent together on the land, connection unfolds naturally and without pressure. These moments offer the space to be with others in a way that feels real and unforced. Many participants leave with not only a deeper connection to themselves, but with relationships and memories that continue beyond the retreat.
Upcoming Retreats
Rooted: A Seasonal Mind-Body Retreat Series
Move with the seasons. Connect with yourself, your community, and the land.
Rooted is a seasonal retreat series held at Plan Bee Farm Brewery, designed to align your experience with the rhythm of the year. Each session blends mind-body practices—yoga, expressive movement, acupressure, and Ayurvedic seasonal teachings—with opportunities to engage directly with the land and the people who steward it.
The series concludes with a tasting of Plan Bee’s locally-sourced beers, made with 100% New York ingredients, paired with a behind-the-scenes look at the brewery’s mission and sustainable practices. Every retreat is an invitation to connect—to your body, to others, and to the environment that nourishes us.
Spring: Root to Ground (June 6, 10AM - 3PM): Awaken and reconnect as new growth emerges.
Summer: Root to Grow (August 1, 10AM - 3PM): Expand energy and movement during the season of abundance.
Fall: Root to Gather (September 26, 10AM - 3PM): Reflect, share, and prepare as the year comes to harvest.
Each retreat is designed to stand alone or to be experienced as part of the full seasonal journey — giving you a deeper connection to the cycles of nature, your community, and your own rhythm throughout the year.

Callie Tepper-Lewis
Founder + Facilitator
Hi, I’m Callie—founder of Here & Now Retreats.
I started Here & Now Retreats because I believe in the power of movement to reconnect the mind and body, and in the importance of supporting organizations and spaces that honor nature. My goal is to create experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways—combining movement, community, nature-based education, and time outdoors to cultivate presence, connection, and groundedness.
Here & Now Retreats is about creating a space where people can slow down, engage fully with the present moment, and feel more connected to themselves, each other, and the world around them.
Here & Now Retreats is passionate about partnering with spaces that honor the natural world, and we’re excited to explore how movement, mindfulness, and community can bring new people to your organization.
So if you’re a nature-focused organization and are interested in creating a retreat experience together, please reach out so we can discuss opportunities and imagine something meaningful together!
