Urban Retreats & Workshops in a Brooklyn Brownstone
“We believe the environments people gather in shape the experience itself.”
Maison May offers intentional urban retreats in the heart of Fort Greene, hosted in a historic Brooklyn Brownstone designed for meaningful gatherings, workshops, and small-group experiences.
In a world that feels increasingly rushed, digitalized, and fragmented, people are craving spaces that feel more human. At Maison May, we create intentional urban retreats and workshops in a historic Brooklyn Brownstone, designed to help people slow down, reconnect in person, and engage more meaningfully with one another—without needing to leave the city.
Set within an intimate Brooklyn Brownstone, our spaces offer a warm, refined environment that encourages presence, conversation, reflection, & genuine connection.
Sunlit rooms, flexible layouts, & a serene & gorgeous outdoor garden create a setting that feels both grounding & elevated—supporting experiences that range from leadership retreats and facilitated workshops to community gatherings and small-group conversations.
The Brooklyn Urban Retreat Experience
Through thoughtful layouts, seamless coordination, carefully prepared food, and intentionally small-group formats, we create experiences that feel cohesive, calm, and carefully held from beginning to end.
Our role is not to lead the content, but to support the experience around it—allowing facilitators, organizers, and teams to focus fully on the gathering they are creating.
You are the creator. Maison May provides the canvas and the frame.

The Space | A Historic Brooklyn Brownstone
Maison May is a historic Brooklyn Brownstone retreat venue designed for intentional small-group gatherings, retreats, workshops, & corporate offsites.
Spread across two levels with a serene outdoor garden, the space offers a warm, refined environment that feels both calming and personal.
Unlike traditional meeting spaces or studio environments, the Brownstone encourages people to settle in, engage more naturally, and feel immediately at ease.
Designed to adapt to a variety of formats, the space supports both structured sessions and open conversation while maintaining a sense of flow, comfort, and understated elegance.
