CRESTONE MOUNTAIN ZEN CENTER TRANSFORMATIONAL RETREAT

CRESTONE, CO

SEPTEMBER 7-12, 2025

Want to learn more about yourself than you've probably ever been able to in a one week span before? Want to know what it feels like to really know that you aren't alone on your journey? Want to feel, and I mean really feel, things that you may not have ever felt before? Want to come out the other side a changed person? More brave? More empathetic? Full of love for not only yourself but also for others? That's why you want to go to this retreat.

- Mike

Retreat is a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Our locations are curated for you to feel held by the natural beauty of the ocean, the mountains, and so much the outdoors has to offer.

Be it meandering on a silent walk, journaling outside or sharing morning coffee and tea with others on retreat, the places we chose are potent and have a power to them.

Your days will be 100% about connecting to yourself, the humans around you and the natural world. You will be moving, breathing, meditating and mindfully living into some of your richest days.

It will also challenge you.

We intentionally remove distractions like substances and screens and ask you to step out of your comfort zone into something bigger. Into a bigger version of you.

It is not an accident you are here, that you are considering retreat.

You are ready now.

Will you regret it a year from now or will it have helped catapult you to your next place?
