He walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
seeking grace in every step he takes.  His sight
has turned inside himself to try and understand
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
~ John Denver

 

Join facilitator, Karen Ely, for a unique opportunity to walk in quiet solitude in the forest and the streams” in the company of like-minded-women in one of the most serene and spectacular areas of the country.

Our large three-bedroom retreat cabin sits on the banks of the Dolores River within a short drive of the spectacular 12,000 foot summit that drops down into the Telluride valley, with its beauty, quaint shops and yummy dining.

We’ll hike on beautiful trails, we’ll sit in meadows covered with wildflowers overlooking scenes so beautiful that you will come to understand the truth in John Denver’s lyrics, “seeking grace in every step she takes.”

We’ll awaken to clear blue skies and go to sleep under a canopy of stars with stunning views of the Milky Way.  We’ll sit in sacred circle getting clarity on what we value and how to incorporate that into every area of our life.  We’ll walk in silence, we’ll share and laugh, find ourselves rejuvenated in the most nature-filled way, and head home with a clearer understanding and a plan for living a life that we don’t need a vacation from.

Our mornings will be filled with quiet contemplation . . . time for group exercises, meditation, reading and just being.  Then we’ll pack a lunch, put on our backpacks and hike a beautiful trail and find a new adventure along the way.  On the last day, we’ll head into beautiful Telluride for shopping, hiking and a delightful dinner in one of their iconic restaurants.

 

The mountains are calling and I must go.

We’ll connect in Durango, Colorado for the one-hour drive to our mountain cabin and return to Durango 4 days later with new hope and filled with the peace that is possible when you escape the busyness of “normal” life.

This unique retreat is limited to 4 women who love nature, hiking, new experiences and the quiet that is possible when you can see nothing but the “forests and the trees,” the streams and the Rocky Mountain highs.

 

Personal growth . Adventure .
Relaxation . Contemplation . Joy . Hiking .
New ideas . New ways of seeing . A plan forward .
Completely nature-filled and delightful!
