The Point of Infinity Retreat Center and Community
Greenfield Park, New York,
United States
 We are an emerging community interested in expressing enlightenment through everyday life. The Point of Infinity Retreat Center and Community is located on a magical 38-acre wooded parcel in the astonishingly beautiful Catskill Mountains near Ellenville, New York. It has a a peaceful atmosphere and an enchanted, mystical, natural mountaintop plateau ideal for ceremonies, rituals, retreats, health programs, and more. It is only a two-hour driving distance from New York City. We are offering potentialities for all spiritual paths in holistic health, spiritual growth, and alternative living. We are interested in making a transition to a more sustainable way of living through permaculture, organic gardening, wild food foraging and alternative energy. We are seeking individuals, partnerships, or families willing to be self-motivated, aware, and creative. Those with open minds, ready to share talents, gifts, and points of view, and to be sacred mirrors for one another are most welcome.
