Women’s Spiritual Yoga Retreat
A 6-day women’s spiritual retreat is the perfect way to decompress and feel uplifted. Our Women’s Spiritual Yoga Retreat offers a unique opportunity to turn inward, deepen self-awareness, and build community with like-minded women. As women, many of us lead full, busy lives in the care and service of others. This retreat invites you to prioritize self-care and receive support within a circle of women. Rekindle your connection with your authentic self to return to your life and loved ones feeling refreshed and renewed.
Set against the backdrop of Shoshoni Yoga Retreat’s incredible natural beauty and spiritual energy, and infused with the timeless wisdom of ancient Goddess traditions, this Colorado women’s retreat offers a chance to release what holds you back and cultivate gratitude for the blessings in your life. Enjoy a harmonious blend of solitary practices like journaling and meditation, along with group experiences that foster connection, mutual understanding, and support. Discover a deep sense of inner joy, and join us in celebrating the powerful gifts of the empowered feminine.

About the Instructor
Kalika Fortin
Kalika Fortin first came to Shoshoni in 2005, where she served on staff while completing her 200-hour yoga certification and advanced asana certifications. Having moved from the conservative mid-west, Kalika enjoyed being immersed in the beautiful world of meditation, service, and devotional chanting. Captivated by the sweet, calming energy of the morning chants and the lively evening kirtans, it became clear that bhakti yoga was her path. She enjoyed several years in Shoshoni Yoga Retreat’s resident band, Shiva’s Garden, before forming The Pushpams with Mira Gale and Kumara Etzel.
Kalika now calls Shoshoni home once more and loves sharing music and yoga practice with others. Her yoga teaching style integrates gentle breath awareness techniques with a flow of yoga postures designed to strengthen and stretch the body while maintaining a meditative focus. She has shared music at several yoga festivals, including Hanuman Festival, Denver Chant Fest, and Bhavapalooza, and has shared the stage with kirtan artists Dave Stringer, C.C. White, Girish, David Newman, and Govindas & Radha. Her music has been featured on New World Kirtan and Wild Women Rising.
The scenery is gorgeous with hiking all around, staff is excellent, the food is delicious, the temples are beautiful, the yoga is great and relaxing, and the cabins are clean and nice. I always feel so peaceful there and the meditation is wonderful. It’s a very spiritual place and wonderful for decompressing from city life and for getting back to your true self.
