Our Programs

The Sunning Hill experience is a thoughtfully guided journey into The Art of Mindful Living. Our programs aren’t a one-size-fits-all formula—they’re a carefully curated collection of retreats designed to meet different needs, schedules, and intentions.

Whether you join us for a single day or an entire week, each retreat is an immersive exploration of our three pillars—Mindfulness, Nature, and Art—led by experienced guides who create space for genuine connection and personal growth. With small groups of no more than 16 participants, you’ll receive the attention and support you need to truly settle in, feel seen, and be part of a close, welcoming community.

The Weekend Reset

3 Days / 2 Nights (Friday to Sunday)

In the fast pace of modern life, true rest can feel out of reach. The Weekend Reset is our way of giving it back to you. Designed for high-pressure professionals, busy parents, or anyone carrying the weight of constant connectivity, this 3-day, 2-night retreat offers a focused, restorative journey to help you release stress, regain clarity, and return home feeling balanced and renewed.

From Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, you’ll move through the core practices of The Art of Mindful Living. Our schedule is crafted to create deep restoration without rushing—giving you time to breathe, reflect, and simply be. You’ll learn grounding meditation techniques, wander through the quiet beauty of our 28-acre estate, and take part in expressive arts workshops that awaken creativity and ease tension.

You’ll leave not only rested, but carrying practical tools to bring mindfulness into everyday life. This is your invitation to pause, step away from the noise, and gently reboot your whole system.

The Deep Dive

The Voyage Within: A 5-Day Holistic Mind, Body & Spirit Retreat

Step away from the noise and journey inward to your own sanctuary—a healing space designed to help you release long-held tension and rediscover your natural strength and peace. Over five days, you’ll have the time and space to truly reset, explore, and restore.

At the heart of this retreat is our guiding philosophy: The Art of Mindful Living—the practice of turning your attention from the constant chatter of the mind toward the vivid, living world of your senses. Here, mindfulness isn’t about emptying the mind; it’s about allowing the present moment to fill you completely. We call this the Five Senses Reboot—a gentle, guided awakening of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch as gateways to clarity, balance, and inner peace.

This philosophy shapes our integrative approach. Through mindful movement, nourishing meals, and practices that nurture the spirit, we guide you back into harmony with your body, mind, and heart.

This is more than relaxation—it’s a journey of self-discovery. By grounding yourself in the present, you’ll uncover a deeper self-awareness and a renewed sense of purpose. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by a small community of kindred spirits, walking the path together in an atmosphere of trust and openness.

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s the beginning of finding your place, your people, and your way back home.

Mindful Living

A One-Day Retreat

For those with limited time who still long for a deep breath and a change of pace, our Mindful Living day retreat offers a complete sanctuary experience—from morning light to evening calm. Each session centers on a unique theme: the quiet contemplation of a tea ceremony, the creative flow of an immersive art therapy workshop, or the gentle renewal of a day spent forest bathing.

This is a concentrated invitation to step out of your routine and into the present moment. You’ll leave with your mind refreshed, your senses reawakened, and your heart carrying a little more ease—an infusion of inspiration and serenity that you can weave into everyday life, without the need for an overnight stay.

The Sunning Hill Difference

A Secluded, Yet Accessible Sanctuary – Nestled on a private 28-acre estate along Long Island’s Gold Coast, Sunning Hill offers serene seclusion—just 30 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. Here, you can step away from the city’s pace without venturing far.

The Art of Mindful Living – Our signature approach, the Five Senses Reboot, gently turns your attention from the mind’s constant noise to the richness of the present moment. Through an organic blend of art therapy, nature connection, and mindfulness practices, we guide you toward clarity, balance, and a renewed sense of peace.

An Intimate, Personalized Journey – With no more than 16 guests at a time, every retreat is intentionally designed to feel private, supportive, and deeply personal—so you can truly be seen, heard, and cared for.

Wisdom from East & West – Our bicultural approach draws from the timeless wisdom of Eastern wellness traditions and the practical insights of Western mindfulness. The result is a rich, layered experience that honors both heritage and innovation, appealing to those who value depth, culture, and connection.
