Friendship, Fellowship, and Fun
A Mind Oasis Retreat led by Founder Karuna & Friends
9-12 November 2023
Rocky Mountains, CO
Sunshine Mountain Lodge
- 20 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park (extra evening add-on available for Sunday night with advance notice).
- Registration includes lodging, all meals from arrival Thursday evening through departure Sunday late morning; beautifully guided meditations and talks.
- Also included is a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and The Stanley Hotel.
We expect on-site accommodations to sell out.
Vegetarian Fare, vegan available; shared (but lovely!) accommodations.
Limited to 22 participants.
Expect lots of time to explore nature, IRL friendship, and rest.
At Mind Oasis we do “retreat light” as we’ve all experienced enough constrictions, restrictions, and isolation these past couple years.
The retreat will be led by Karuna and guests. You can expect a loving and safe container that will start each day with gentle movement, a quiet meditation, exceptional food, time to walk and explore the nearby woods. Lunch will be served up and there will be an option to take a day trip, create art, journal, nap, or day dream. We’ll come back together for a Dharma talk and meditation before dinner. After dinner activities might include reflective time around a campfire (marshmallows encouraged!), chatting in the kitchen over a cup of tea, and a yoga nidra practice. Of course there will be a dance party on Saturday night.
In the works is a Mindful Cooking Session on Saturday afternoon. Stay tuned!
