Front End Side View

The Barn is now hosting Enneagram Institute events.

The Enneagram Institute offices are located in the over 5000-square-foot Barn, which also includes a spacious meeting hall, a large conference room, and other facilities. We are teaching many of our East Coast, Enneagram Institute–produced Workshops and Trainings at The Barn. You may coordinate your travel and lodging with other Riso-Hudson students by registering on our Discussion Board and then entering the password found in your registration letter. Email Katy if you have further questions about the Discussion Board; she cannot help you coordinate your travel.

Check the event listing that you are interested in on the Schedule to see if it will be held at The Barn or elsewhere. Final decisions about the location of each event are posted on the Schedule page as soon as they become definite; the Schedule always contains the most current information. Note: some Trainings and Workshops previously scheduled at other locations have been moved to The Barn at Stone Ridge.

A list of nearby B&Bs, hotels, and motels at various price ranges, as well as transportation and tourist information, is available.

For driving directions to The Enneagram Institute, please refer to the email information packet you received when you registered. If you cannot locate that, you may contact Donna for a copy.

The 72 acres of grounds are considered among the most beautiful in Ulster County and have a magical quality which many feel as soon as they step onto the property. There are thousands of old growth trees, of many varieties, which are literally hundreds of years old. The grounds are enriched by numerous walking paths through the woods and meadows, streams, two ponds, as well as a wealth of wildlife including wild turkeys, pheasants, deer, and hundreds of songbirds. The rolling hills and meadows are ideal for exploring in all seasons either for walking, cross-country skiing, meditating, or relaxing in the beautiful countryside.
