At the Tamarack Lodge, in the beautiful Adirondack mountains, we explore the physical aspects of the process of communication. We discover how the body is the instrument through which we connect with the world around us.

Several Times a year we offer intensive retreats to our current and former students.

The Purpose of the Lodge

The Lodge was created in 1995 to provide students of the Williamson Technique with a comfortable and protected environment to explore how their bodies work in the physical process of communication. While this remains a major activity of the Lodge, we are no longer limited to one particular technique. We are especially concerned with giving people a place to develop a stronger physical connection to their surroundings and to their relationships with other people.

The Land

The Tamarack Lodge sits on 43 acres of land. The eastern end of the property sits on a 20 acre lake. Strategically placed gazebos provide ideal spots to write, read, or just have quiet time. The southern border of the land is adjoined by The Hogsback State Forest providing well appointed trails for hiking. You may also take Gus, our Chocolate Lab, and Mickey, our Golden Retriever, both of whom are equally delighted to explore along with you.

For winter guests, snow is an average of two feet deep. Paths are blown clear for walking in the woods, but most people find that using cross country skis or snow shoes is a fun way to travel, even if you are a beginner. Snow Ridge ski slopes are fifteen minutes away from the house and feature twenty trails and eight lifts for skiing.

The House

The house is four thousand square feet, with two stories. The first floor contains the Great Room: and unobstructed space fifty feet long by twenty-five feet wide including the original stone fire place. This is the class work space.

Adjacent to the Great Room, the kitchen-breakfast room also features its own fireplace and reading area.

The final downstairs room is the large screened-in porch looking into the woods surrounding the lodge. This serves as our dining room during most of the summer.

The second floor houses our six guest rooms, the lodge office (with fax, computer, etc.), and three full baths. Each guest room accommodates two people. The decorations and furnishings have been chosen to give the comfort of a modest Adirondack Inn.
