Paths to Calm & Progress: A Special Central Park Retreat

Join Jordan Friedman and Kathy Caprino for a transformative tour of iconic Central Park with personalized coaching for sustained relaxation, resilience and growth.

Central Park is the world’s greatest urban oasis. Amidst the stress of New York City, its 843 acres of serene walkways, lakes, and vistas have offered millions a place to unwind, reflect, and recharge for nearly 170 years. Be part of a fun, small-group retreat where we’ll harness the park’s beauty and visionary design to find peace and move forward in the face of personal and professional challenges.

First, we’ll tour and chill:

We’ll begin by exploring some of the park’s most fascinating landmarks, delving into their history and creation. You’ll discover how Central Park transformed from swampy terrain into a verdant paradise—a testament to vision and perseverance. We’ll use this metamorphosis as inspiration to pursue goals with renewed calm, clarity, and confidence. Along the way, you’ll learn powerful relaxation techniques like Quick Calm and Instant Vacation to alleviate stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.​

Then, we’ll foster results with customized coaching:

Following the tour, you’ll receive expert hands-on support and coaching tailored to specific stressors and challenges hindering your progress. Whether you're contemplating a career change, launching a business or book, seeking better sleep, or pursuing another goal—big or small—we’ll equip you with strategies to make your projects more manageable and attainable. Plus, gain access to resources that will support your success long after our retreat concludes.

You’ll leave this retreat with lasting benefits:

• An engaging and insightful tour of Central Park’s most captivating sites

• Easy-to-learn, science-backed techniques to reduce stress and overwhelm

• A complimentary 1-year subscription to The Chill Factory, a rapid relaxation app featuring tools introduced during the retreat
