Hot Springs Yoga Retreat: Living Beyond Our Narratives

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
— Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi

The walking labyrinth at Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa

We live in a world of narratives: the stories we tell ourselves and share with others about our lives, our histories, our beliefs about the world. These stories provide structure and meaning to our lives. They can also entrap us, preventing us from experiencing the freedom and joy of living fully in the present.

Join us for a weekend of deep nourishing. Three days and two nights at Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa in the San Luis Valley, about 3 hours south of Denver. Exquisite scenery, Hatha Yoga practice, meditation, soaking in healing waters, spiritual teaching, rest, connection . . . it will be a beautiful weekend. We’ll dive into our narratives and consider how they help us and where they hurt us—and if there are any that we’re ready to let go. The retreat concludes with a ritual to say goodbye to stories that no longer serve us.

Fees include:

  • 2 nights lodging

  • 3 days access to Joyful Journey’s 3 beautiful pools, dry sauna, greenhouse, and hiking paths

  • breakfast and dinner*

  • all instruction, including Hatha Yoga classes, guided meditation practice, and spiritual teaching

*Joyful Journey provides a nice variety of nutritious food options that accommodate both vegetarians and omnivores. If you have special dietary needs (gluten or other allergies, Whole 30, etc), plan to bring extra food.

Rooms are reserved for us in Joyful Journey’s Lodge. Options are available for single and double occupancy rooms; each room has its own private bath and all linens and robes are provided. If you want to share your room with someone specific, you will both still register separately. Drop me a line so I know to pair you in the same room!

If you would like to add more than 2 people to your room or would rather stay in a yurt or camp, please contact me ASAP so I can make arrangements.
