Shalom Mountain offers a variety of programs including the core Shalom Process retreats, programs geared to specific groups such as teens, men, women, couples, LGBTQ and those in recovery; as well as retreats for specific interests such as the spiritual journey and sacred sexuality. Shalom Mountain also provides training courses, internships, as well as residential volunteer opportunities. Tuition assistance and pre-retreat counseling are available for many of our programs.
In this retreat, we’ll experiment—gently, playfully, reverently—with ways of coming into relationship with that Mystery. Through nature connection, breathwork, movement, meditation, and ritual, we’ll explore how the sacred reveals itself uniquely through each of us.
Culture suggests that aging brings a gradual diminishment of life. In fact, the elder years bring new freedom and aliveness. Living every day with the knowledge that this life is not forever throws everything into a clearer, sharper perspective.
In this intimate laboratory, we’ll explore the unique textures of our turn-on, the pathways to the Source of our erotic energy—to invite deeper, more nourishing and vibrant connections with ourselves and others.

This retreat will take you on a deep dive into the mystery of Eros, dispelling myths and unfolding truths about erotic power and the wisdom it holds for your life. It’s your birth-rite to feel alive, sensual and powerful walking through the world. Until we fully integrate our erotic energy, this can be hard to attain.
The Transpersonal points to those dimensions of human experience that are beyond stories, interpretations and constructs. Join Tom Goddard and John Bottone in their continuing exploration of this great Mystery that sits beyond ordinary time and space, and simultaneously informs our lives in the most profound ways.

We can heal the western-cultural split between the sacred and the sexual when we open in radical trust with another: to be vulnerable emotionally, physically and spiritually. When we are held in community, our hearts can learn to love in ways we’ve never imagined – opening us to be avenues for the Divine.
Discrimination, Racism, Sexism, Ableism, etc are functions of the systems we live in. We also live in a society that keeps us from our power by imprinting harmful patterns of behavior: perfectionism, conflict avoidance, shame, denial and defensiveness, binary “either/or” thinking. Making Welcome is an antidote to these toxic patterns.
This retreat takes a deep dive into the world of Himalayan Tantra and its wisdom maps for transformation. As we explore the fullness of human connection and the sensuality of life, we open more fully to our deepest longings for love, passion and purpose. Tantric teachings guide us through a weekend of embodied explorations, reflection and ritual. This is a sensual, non-sexual, clothes-on event.
Shalom Mountain, Dr. JP Pizzino, and Dr. Tom Ronen Goddard are collaborating to offer this immersive, one-week residential experience on the campus of Shalom Mountain in the Western Catskill Mountains of New York to explore what it is to build a day-to-day practice that supports all the aspects of ourselves in a way that we can sustain over the course of a lifetime.
