Join us for a 3-night/3-day retreat experience in the heart of

Manitou Springs, Colorado, a town nestled between Garden of the Gods and Pike's Peak, known for its healing spring waters and natural urban sanctuary.

Your Retreat Experience:

 

• ​​Chocolate Cake & Intention Setting: We Begin with the End in mind (because "all" magical gatherings start with dessert!) and a slow, creative ritual to anchor our intentions.

• Embodied Movement: Gentle practices to stabilize your nervous system and discover the Stillness that lives within you.

• Silence & Inner Listening: A 28-hour silent immersion to quiet the mind and attune to your inner wisdom. Here, Silence is not the absence of Sound; it is the presence of spaciousness.

• Harmonic Sound Alchemy: Sound journeys while being Alone-Together amidst the Light and Dark, sounding ourselves into harmonic remembrance.

• Urban Forest Bathing: Two walks through Manitou Springs; is it the Sound of Silence or the Silence of Sound? Reframe the town as a living forest, discovering that nature breathes through us, even amidst sidewalks and shops.

• Sipping Tea & Steeping in Self Reflection: A Silent Tea Meditation where the Tea Leaves are Felt and the Water is Heard. Gather around the table to sense the reverence of the unrepeatable moment.

• Restorative Touch & Light: Experience gentle, focused touch techniques and subtle light patterns designed to Calm your nervous system and Enhance mental clarity.

• Sun Bathing & Moon Gazing: Casual gatherings to feel the Warmth of the Sun and the Coolness of the Moon.

• Nourishment: Simple, hearty, organic, vegetarian meals and snacks prepared with intention and care. We'll go slowly, arriving with a gentle Hunger and softening into Fullness.

• Time with Self amidst Others: Multiple Nooks & high vibration Spaces for intentional self reflection within a boutique inn and town.

• Personal & Community Space: Each participant will have a private bedroom unless they choose to share with a friend. This is a five-bedroom/four-bathroom Inn with a one-bedroom/one-bathroom cottage on the grounds. Indoor community space includes a living room, sitting room, upper mezzanine, and kitchen. Outdoor community space includes a front sitting porch, a back tea reflective garden, a two-person freshwater hot tub, and 1/3 acre divided into various elemental zones--each area designed to connect you with fire, water, earth, and air. Our heart-centered gathering space is a separate building, complete with a hobbit door! We may also utilize the Manitou Commons community center that is a half-block from the retreat location, dependent on weather.
