Joyful Journey Hot Springs Retreat: 10/29 - 11/1
Weavers of Magic: Journey Beyond the Veil
Women across time and cultures have gathered in circles as a form of resistance, celebration and healing. We have gathered at our moon time, to mark time, to celebrate life, to perform ritual, to knit, to sew, to read, to dance, to laugh, to cry, to hold one another,
to heal ourSelves...
to heal the world.
Now more than ever we need the magic of the circle...
the world needs the magic of the circle.
Immerse yourSelf in magic: exploring ways to nurture your inner magic and the power of connecting deeply with a sacred circle of sisters, our Mamma Earth, and the waters that flow through Her.
What we heal in the center of the circle is reflected in the whole circle.
Lets weave a circle of magic into being!

Ancestor's Feast Friday at Noon
A highlight of our ancestor's celebration will be the feast... bring a favorite dish to share: appetizer, main dish, side dish, dessert... that represents a specific ancestor, your cultural lineage, or perhaps ancestors of the land we are on, the land itself, or any ancestors of inspiration you want to honor. Even a newly created dish that you hope becomes a family tradition.
Be prepared to share a little bit about the dish and your ancestor during our feast. Less than 2 minutes please. If the idea of cooking or baking is overwhelimg just take a look at the list in a few weeks and see whats missing, buy a couple bagged salads, some fresh bread, a fall pie or two. Do not stress anything :)

Soak in the Magic Waters
Heal your body, relax your mind and soothe your soul.
Native American elders and spiritual masters from the Crestone area consider this area on the west side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as one of the most sacred and energetically active places in North America.
It is said that the water here is encoded with the energy of the earth from which it rises.
*The 98°F cool pool is perfect for those with a low tolerance for hot water, yet still want to get the benefit of our minerals.
*The 104°F medium pool (aka The Tower Pool) is a great middle temperature for soaking.
*The 108°F hot pool (aka The View Pool) is ideal for those who prefer a hotter temperature, and for those with arthritis, joint and muscle pain – with spectacular views of the mountains.
*Our two jacuzzi hot tubs are maintained at 104°F, and, like The Tower Pool, offer a great middle temperature for soaking.
All of our pools are filled with the natural, mineral-rich, geothermal heated water that rises in artisanal springs on the property.
Each pool is drained and cleaned nightly. The jacuzzi hot tubs are cleaned weekly.
Amazing Accommodations
