Autumn Wellness Escape: Creative Arts, Yoga & Nature Retreat in the Colorado Rockies

The HeART of Autumn retreat is a five-day, four-night gathering that uses the seasonal shift as a backdrop for inner work. Each day begins with silent mornings and a digital detox, allowing you to tune into the quiet wisdom of autumn. Daily yoga classes—including Hatha, Kundalini, Yin, and gentle flow—are paired with meditation, pranayama, and embodied movement journeys. Afternoons are dedicated to 'playshops' where you'll explore creative expression through morning pages, reflective writing, drawing, painting, and vocal activation in song circles.

One of the retreat's highlights is a half-day hike into the vibrant aspen groves near Kenosha Pass, where you'll witness the season's 'sacred act of letting go' and gather the quiet wisdom it offers. Evenings bring cacao ceremonies, fire circles, and rituals that connect you to the elements and Mother Earth. Throughout, you'll be guided to honor what has grown in your life, express what is ready to be released, and create space for what is yet to emerge.

The retreat is hosted at Freebird Valley Collective, a beautiful mountain house set on five acres of forested land, just 20 minutes from Kenosha Pass and under two hours from Denver. The property features expansive mountain views, a large deck, an outdoor fire pit, a dedicated yoga shala, and 44 crystals embedded in the earth with the intention of holding safe space for surrender and healing. The land itself is a sanctuary, with aspen groves and quiet trails right outside your door.

Led by Lauryn and Matt, the retreat is supported by Jenna, an Ayurvedic chef who prepares nourishing, seasonal meals from locally sourced ingredients. Lauryn brings over a decade of experience in somatic embodiment and spiritual coaching, while Matt infuses his classes with guitar, singing bowls, and mantras. Together, they create a supportive environment where you can go deeper into your practice, connect with like-minded souls, and experience the profound healing of nature.
