Retreat East Co.

Welcome to a sanctuary in nature, created with intention.

Founded by Lianna Willoughby, Retreat East Co was born from a simple yet powerful belief: that time in nature is one of the most healing, grounding, and accessible ways to reset from the pace of modern life.

“Research shows that spending time outdoors can lower stress, improve sleep, support clearer thinking, and boost our overall well-being. Nature is generous. It’s here for all of us—and when we slow down enough to receive it, the transformation begins.”

Set on 105 forested acres in the Catskills, Retreat East Co is a homebase for those craving connection—whether with family and friends, with yourself, or with something bigger. It’s a place to unplug and be present, to rest and reflect, to gather and grow.

Lianna’s mission is to help others tap into the restorative power of nature—to experience firsthand how reconnecting with the earth can lead to deeper clarity, calm, and joy. Because when we feel better, we live better. And when we live better, we can help shape a more vibrant and connected world.

Your Host Lianna,

“A better world begins with how we choose to live today. Nature gives us the space to remember what matters—and the courage to reimagine what’s next.”
