CONNECT WITH YOUR INNER NATURE4 Day / 3 Night Mountain Yoga Retreat in Keystone, CO

HEAL YOUR SELF, HEAL THE EARTH
We gather at this retreat to recharge our bodies, minds and hearts. To move at a different pace so we can connect deeply with our Self and Mother Earth. To forge new relationships with the elements and the beings around us. To develop rituals and reciprocity within our daily lives. To co-create and walk in a new story of the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
YOGA - Grounded
NATURE - Connected
MEDITATION - Inspired
MUSIC - Expressed
EARTH CARE THROUGH SELF CARE
We will practice daily yoga, meditation and pranayama while integrating permaculture and regenerative concepts to connect with our inner landscape while exploring the landscape around us. Workshops and activities will include hiking/walking meditation, cold water immersion, breathwork and rituals to build habits of reciprocity with the elements and Mother Earth. When we recognize that we are nature and the sacred elements live within us it becomes instinctive to treat ourselves, the Earth and all around us as sacred.
DEEPENING OUR CONNECTION
Going on retreat is an opportunity to step back and temporarily withdraw from our daily routines, commitments and obligations. We invite you to drop deeper into yourself and your retreat experience by observing a digital detox and silent mornings. This retreat is an opportunity to slow down, reflect and reconnect with the nature within and around you before reentering daily life with new tools, perspectives and inspiration.
PRESENCE - Silence
RECIPROCITY - Offering
ATTUNEMENT - Stillness
RITUAL - Reverence

GIFT-BASED PRICING
Retreat Costs
We are offering this program on gift-based pricing which means that the total paid to reserve your spot is to cover the costs of running the program (lodging, food, labor, supplies, travel, marketing, booking fees, etc.). Reciprocity, the act of both giving and receiving is a natural pattern and embedded into the core of our offering. We have chosen to structure the retreat in this way in order to honor the gifts we are offering and are beyond a value that can be ascribed to them. Many similar retreats would range from $800 – 3,000+ per person and our goal is to keep this retreat as accessible as possible by allowing those who can give more to support those who do not have the means to give as much at this time.
Gift Economy
One key principle of gift economy is that you cannot know the true value of what you have received until after you have received it. As such there will be an opportunity at the end of the program to offer a gift to the facilitators in exchange for organizing and facilitating the experience. Any amount that feels reflective of value you received from the experience and is accessible to your current financial circumstances is appropriate. If paying for just the costs of the retreat is appropriate to your financial situation that is welcomed as well. These gifts will allow us to continue to offer and expand these retreats and anything that is given is received in deep gratitude.

FOOD PHILOSOPHY
Food is an integral part of the retreat experience and we take great care to ensure the food we serve aligns with the values we will be embodying throughout the retreat. Our food philosophy is influenced by permaculture, regenerative agriculture and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, a sister science of Yoga. We will be observing a vegetarian diet and sourcing food from our regenerative farming network highlighting local ingredients and seasonal recipes. We will offer meat/fish at one dinner for those who are interested. Mindful eating and presence are vital aspects of connecting with the food, farmers and the land from which it was cultivated. We will be practicing silence during breakfast as a way to nourish our bodies and give thanks to the abundance we are gifted by Mother Earth.
