Lichen Bike Tours
Location: Hudson
Traveling on a bike is the greatest way to get around, and Lichen Bike Tours is here to bring people together on bicycles and to bring people closer to nature. We love the feeling of waking up in a shelter, dry, in a forest, and knowing the entire day will be dedicated to outdoors adventuring. Based in Hudson, NY, we offer guided bikepacking trips through the Catskill Mountains that are as short as an overnighter and as long as 5 days. Camping not your thing? Expect inn-to-inn trips in 2026, and maybe we saw you on June 28th 2025 at our first-ever Beebe & Beyond Gravel Ramble in Hillsdale, NY.

My Everyday Posture - Alexander Technique
Location: Hudson
The Alexander Technique (AT) was developed by F.M. Alexander over a hundred years ago, and has been practiced ever since by musicians, actors, vocalists and everyday people seeking non-invasive pain relief and improved posture, balance, and well-being. It is an educational discipline based on Alexander’s idea that the relationship between your head and your spine directly affects your overall health. AT teaches self awareness skills so you can recognize where you hold too much tension and how this tension translates into habits that you may think are just part of who you are.
BECKY SANDLER, M.AmSAT, teaches private and group Alexander Technique lessons in midtown Manhattan, Hudson, NY, and online. On faculty at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, she teaches Alexander Technique as part of the 1st year core curriculum to actors.

Courtney Tribble, LMT - Golden Snail
Massage Therapy + Energy Work
Courtney Tribble has been a licensed massage therapist since the Fall of 2003. She received her education at the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, NY, before moving to Columbia County to start a small organic farm with her husband.
Courtney believes massage is a wonderful tool for stress relief, as it creates needed time and space for one to let go of their thoughts and move into the realm of the body.
She practices integrative massage, interweaving slow, deeper myofascial/connective tissue therapies with circulatory-enhancing Swedish massage. This combination lends great relief to chronically sore muscles and accumulated tension.

Johannah Hunter Shamanic Practitioner - Reiki Master - Tarot and Oracle Diviner
What is a Shamanic Practitioner? They are one who bridge the seen and unseen worlds to bring healing, guidance and balance. Not necessarily belonging to any one tradition, they work in harmony with nature and spirit allies – like power animals, ancestors and elemental forces to restore balance to individuals and communities. A Shamanic Practitioner can use tools such as drums, rattles, breath, voice, feathers, stones and the teachings of the Medicine Wheel to track energy. This tracking shows the practitioner where a person’s energy is blocked or fragmented and help retrieve lost soul parts, clear attatchments and restore wholeness. The heart of their work is about connection – to self, others, the Earth and the web of life. They are not the ones doing the healing, but act as intermediator to bring the client back to their own power and innate healing abilites. They walk their path with high ethics and integrity, always working for the highest good of all.

She is passionate about helping athletes and those whose jobs require feats of athleticism (and yes, that includes desk jobs: some tiny muscles really go above and beyond when we have to be on a computer!) She also loves helping parents in the prenatal and postnatal periods.
Knowing how intertwined our bodies and minds are, Sara creates a time and space where clients can relax and breathe while she works with tissue and the nervous system to encourage healing.
