Join us for a unique and rejuvenating wellness “Happy Hour” outdoors, set in a pine grove on the grounds of what was once part of the original Maverick Arts Colony in Woodstock, NY.
This collaboration between sound and breath work practitioner Billy Pinkerton, of Deepspace Yoga, and Rosie McCobb, of Crimson Catskills, features a relaxing, intentionally-designed relaxation space, and a one-hour sound bath and guided breath work session starting at 6PM.
This is our inaugural event of our weekly, Thursday night Summer SoundWaves programing. Each program will feature different sound practitioners and instruments, tones, and pacing.
Located just one mile outside of Woodstock Village on a short, dead end road that leads to a spectacular, unobstructed view of Overlook Mountain, participants may arrive anytime from 5:30 onward to take a walk up the street to gaze at the mountain, or to relax in our “chillness” outdoor space. Enjoy the shade and light breezes between the trees in a hammock or sensory swing, or cool off with a blended herbal or seasonal cold beverage from our smart bar. We hope you’ll come and hang for a bit, and help build positive, in-person social connections and community.
Sliding Scale Fee: $20-$25. If you’d like to try our program, and funds are limited, pay what you can. Click below to pre-register and pay online. Cash or Venmo also accepted onsite.

Since this is an outdoor event, it is weather permitting. Please check hourly weather alerts for the day. We will proceed with the program if no rain is forecast between the hours of 2PM and 8PM, day-of program. Any pre-reservations due to weather cancellation will be honored at a future Summer SoundWaves Thursday program.
Summer SoundWaves is a convenient, after-work reset for anyone in need of stress relief. It will suit anyone seeking a relaxing, light-social atmosphere, and those looking to keep up with a deeper, regular meditation and breath work practice.
Both beginners and advanced devotees in breath and sound practices are welcome, and our program is suitable for average health and cardiovascular capabilities. This is mainly intended for adults, but parents may bring older children if they are able to be still and not disturb the quiet and meditative program.
Yoga blankets will be provided. Please bring your own mats or any additional pillows you require to lay on the earth for the sound bath. Allergy-sensitive anti-bug torches will be lit, but this is the Catskills, so we can’t guarantee a complete lack of all bugs or outdoor creatures: you just may see a mama bear and her two cubs amble on by in the distance!
Parking is on-street: there are two small “cut out” lots at the lower road, quarry area that will accommodate a few cars, with a short 2-3 minute walk up to our location. Or, you may park on the side of the road, just past our location (please be mindful of French drains along some parts of the side of the road).
Our grounds are wheelchair accessible; unfortunately our bathroom is not. Please contact directly to discuss anything that will help make it possible for you to enjoy this event.
