About the Center
remember to refresh your browser

The Wise Woman Center exists to re-weave the healing cloak of the Ancients. This land is sacred, it is a safe space for women, and a place for the teachings of the Wise Woman way. The Goddess lives here, as do goats, fairies, green witches, and elders.

Located between Woodstock and Saugerties, 5 miles from the NYS Thruway, the Wise Woman Center is easily accessible while private enough for nude swimming. You’ll receive a map and directions when you register.

Incredible wild-food vegetarian meals are included with all workshops.Two- and three-day workshops (limited enrollment) include camping or indoor sleeping space and meals.

Want to visit? Don’t have money for a class? Join us for a work-exchange retreat or come to a moonlodge. There’s no charge and its lots of fun.

Please don’t expect Susun to consult with you privately when you’re here. Instead, call our free herbal/health hot line (845-246-8081) Tuesday evenings, 7:30-9:30 pm EST, dates are April 21 through October 27.
