Hudson River

Our central office in Cornwall-on-Hudson (Hudson River)—known as “the Grail”—is home to the Youth Arts Group, Know Your Rights Workshop Series, our summer college internship program, and seminarian fellowships and cohorts, as well providing meeting and retreat space to our various programs around New York State.

Located in Cornwall-on-Hudson, the Grail is both home to RMM’s Hudson River region work, our central offices, as well as a retreat center for the organization. The Grail is home to the Youth Arts Group, the Rural Academy of the People, as well as our summer college internship program, and seminarian fellowships

Located on 40 acres next to Storm King Mountain and near the Hudson River, the Grail is an inspiring setting to gather for reflection and strategizing. Throughout the year members of RMM’s programs and others gather for retreats. It is a critical venue for building powerful state-wide networks. In addition, to RMM’s people gathering, we are pleased to make our space available to sister groups. If you want to utilize our facilities in Cornwall-on-Hudson for a day apart or a retreat, get in touch with Sakima McClinton for availability and rates.
