This 5 day Retreat will take place directly following The Singing Stone’s Spring Vision Quest from Saturday, May 20th to Tuesday, May 23rd so if you are planning to attend either, you may consider participating in all 10 days.
Cost for this 5 Day Life Changing Retreat:
Option 1: $500 Includes meals, all events and ceremonies, tipi / tent camping and community shower. Participants would need to bring their own cushions and bedding for this option and be on the side of hearty in case the nights are cold in Colorado! If you arriving from further away and are unable to bring bedding, we will be able to accommodate.
Option 2: $400 Includes meals, and all events and ceremonies. Participants who would rather not camp can contact local B & B’s in the area. Nights to book may be made for Wednesday, May 24th until Sunday, May 28th or until Monday, May 29th.
Deposits of $150 are required to hold your spot. There will be limited camping available so if this is your preferred option, you may want to put your deposit down soon. Everyone will need to figure out their own transportation to arrive in Crestone and there will be possibilities for carpooling as well. Most people fly into Denver. Some take the bus, caravan, or rent a car. In order to visit all of the great places here, we will need some volunteers to help with driving.
