Devotion to Truth: An Awakening Immersion Retreat

I am delighted to offer my fourth silent seven-night retreat at the beautiful Tibetan Buddhist Vajra Vidya Retreat Center in Crestone, Colorado. This immersion offers a profound opportunity to deepen your spiritual practice within a loving, embodied, and well-supported container.

This retreat will be held in a small, intimate, non-sectarian setting, allowing for depth, presence, and genuine connection. Noble silence will be observed throughout the retreat, with two daily group sessions that are not silent. Each day will include a morning teaching, followed by an afternoon session devoted to questions, inquiry, and shared dialogue.

Vajra Vidya is nestled at 8,300 feet in the Colorado Rockies, offering a spacious and pristine natural environment that powerfully supports inner stillness and contemplation. We are deeply grateful that the retreat center is offering an exceptional rate for private rooms and meals. There are 18 rooms available on site, with additional off-site housing options nearby. Due to the limited capacity, this retreat is intentionally small and is filling quickly.

Integration and Support

There is an application process for all new participants. I will personally check in with each applicant to ensure the retreat is a supportive and appropriate fit for your current well-being and spiritual journey. Retreat energy can be quite powerful, and it is important to me that each participant feels well held and supported.

The final full day of the retreat will be devoted to integration, including small breakout groups and time to harmonize and ground the insights and experiences of the week.
