In the morning, choose between the beautiful hour-long Guru Gita Chant and silent meditation in the Main Temple, or the powerful Vedic Yajna Ceremony in the Fire Temple.
Two yoga classes – Hatha Yoga in the ShambhavAnada Yoga™ tradition is more than physical exercises; it is part of a comprehensive system that can lead to the experience of the innate perfection within each of us. ShambhavAnanda Yoga Asana™ begins with a strong foundation in body awareness and alignment, then moves deeper, allowing you to explore your own personal experience of yoga through inner focus and surrender. Creative hatha and vinyasa approaches make this practice available for beginner through advanced level practitioners.
Three vegetarian meals – Our kitchen happily accommodates gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets; that’s the benefit of serving delicious food that is made fresh daily with organic ingredients and Shoshoni garden produce. For more specific information, especially regarding allergies, please contact the office. 303.642.0116

PLUS:
- enjoy access to the Shoshoni property and its amenities, including a hot tub, sauna, and miles of hiking trails.
- enhance your retreat with private consultations in yoga, meditation, cooking, and Ayurveda.

Day Retreats
Hard to get away? No problem. Visit for just the day.
This is a very special place set among a most beautiful landscape. The hiking trails are well marked, the dorm was clean and well stocked with toiletries. The staff were friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the yoga classes and the fire ceremonies. There are hammocks and kayaks by the lake for guests to use, a beautiful shrine, temples, an art cabin, a sunroom with stocked bookshelves… everything one might need to slow their mind and connect with their heart. I came here seeking peace, and I found it.
