BONDE | Catskills Retreat

​BONDE Founding Member Retreat | The Catskills, NY (exact location to be announced shortly)

​We’re so excited to welcome you to BONDE’s complimentary Founding Member Retreat — a long weekend designed to pause, connect, and open new doors together. You’re part of a small, thoughtful cohort of women who said yes to BONDE early, and we’re so grateful you did.

​Getting There

​Our retreat will be held in upstate New York, nestled in the lush Catskills — the perfect backdrop for reflection, adventure, and high-caliber conversation. The final location will be announced shortly. The retreat is about:

• ​2 hours from EWR, JFK, and LGA airports

• ​1 hour from Stewart Airport

​While travel isn’t included and each attendee is responsible for getting to and from the retreat, we’re here to help make it easier. Ubers from NYC airports average around $250 one way, and BONDE will be creating a WhatsApp group to help coordinate carpools and shared rides. You’ll receive an invite to the group shortly.

​Retreat Dates & Schedule

• ​Thursday, September 11 at 12pm through Saturday, September 13 at 12pm

​RSVP by August 1

​You’re receiving this because you’ve already verbally committed to joining us, and we’re thrilled about it.

​However, with limited space, we'd like to collect a final headcount to ensure the best experience for you.

​If for any reason your plans shift, please let us know as soon as possible so we can extend the opportunity to another founding member hoping to join.

​Weather & Packing Tips

​Early fall in the Catskills brings crisp mornings, golden afternoons, and cool, cozy evenings (think highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s). Pack:

• ​Layers

• ​Trail-friendly shoes

• ​A light jacket

• ​Something warm and comfortable for fireside hangs

​What to Expect

• ​Morning wellness to ground and energize (athleisure)

• ​Outdoor moments to explore the landscape (athleisure)

• ​Shared meals designed for deeper connection (casual cocktail attire)

• ​Facilitator-led space to reflect, share, and imagine what’s next

​We can’t wait to share this moment in BONDE’s journey with you — a celebration of what we’re building and where we’re headed, together.

​With love and so much anticipation,
The BONDE Team
