Plan Your Trip

The Retreat is only a couple hours from New York City. We have Wula Bus transportation available from Harlem, and there are public buses from Port Authority as well. There is also plenty of parking if you choose to drive.

The Wula Bus

There is a Wula Bus which picks up at 1:30 in Harlem, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Also returns to the city Sunday, leaving the retreat at 2:00 pm, arriving around 4:00. 

Please see tickets and rates to purchase a ticket

Flying In?

• The airport closest to the Wula Bus in Harlem is LGA (LaGuardia).
  Other airports in the area are JFK International and EWR (Newark, NJ).
• EWR airport in Newark, NJ is much closer to the Retreat and you can skip the whole NYC traffic, etc. if you are planning to rent a car or get picked up at EWR. Most folks flying in should fly into any New York City Airport and then take the Wula bus.
• You can take public transportation (M60 Bus from Laguardia, NYC Subway, Long Island Railroad, other trains) from ANY of these airports to the exact block where the Wula Bus stops in Harlem (149th + 7th Ave. or 2580 7th Ave New York, NY 10039).
