The Earth And Star Nature Retreat: Perfect for those who are beginning to explore nature, or may be afraid to go camping on their own. Our mornings are with a sacred fire in ceremony based off of Indigenous teachings. Learn how to expand your consciousness to deepen your connection with nature, the earth and the stars. After lunch, explore in nature on your own or with others. After dinner, we spend our time around the fire, stargazing, laughing, and singing. An incredibly nurturing retreat that you can ease in to. This is a great retreat if you are new to ceremony with fire. If you are an avid stargazer, frequent nature often, or are familiar with fire ceremony, this is good for you too! All Levels of experience are welcome!

​Our evenings, we will sit around the fire, then sing and laugh and gaze at the stars. 

​

Surrounded by mountains including The Spanish Peaks and the Sangre De Cristo mountain range, the sanctuary is raw high desert terrain and super high vibrational energy. There is wildlife that comes through, and some jackrabbits that live in the bushes. The birds sing all day long, and sometimes a wild horse wanders through, as well as herds of deer and elk. 

​

Our Camping area has 10 cleared spots perfect for pitching a tent. All cleared spots for now are close to the main fire area,(until we get those paths in with no cactus.) 

There is a clear path to the restroom area, and to the kitchen and water station. 

​

Our current restroom has nice quality composting toilets, an outdoor water station for handwashing, and some solar showers. We will make sure these areas are private.

​

Our kitchen is an out door kitchen, where we can cook over a fire pit, the stone pizza oven, or propane stove. We will have water for cooking, kitchen washing, drinking, and showering.

​

NOTE: We are in the high desert of Southern Colorado. The great southwest! There is cacti. We do have a good amount of cactus on the land. Eventually there will be lovely paths to walk with no cactus, but for now, please bring boots or tennis shoes and take care of where you step.
