Mental Health & Wellness Escape in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado

The retreat runs from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning. It starts with an opening ceremony and group sound healing, then moves into a rhythm of morning yoga and cacao ceremonies, daytime lectures and activities, and evening breathwork or meditation sessions. The schedule is full but not overwhelming, with free time built in each day for rest or optional add-on services like massage, reiki, or hypnotherapy.

What makes this retreat different from a standard spa weekend is the depth of the program. The lectures cover real topics—brain health and nutrition, detoxing and fasting, breathwork for emotional regulation—and are led by named facilitators with specific expertise, including author Kimberley Wilson and Allison Jurgens herself. There's also a hands-on session with horses, which guests often mention as a highlight, and an art therapy technique called Soul Collage for self-discovery.

The hosting team is small and experienced. Allison Jurgens, the lead host and facilitator, runs a practice called Ascending Spirit that combines yoga, sound healing, breathwork, and Ayurveda with accredited guidance. She's joined by other practitioners throughout the weekend for specific workshops. Past guests emphasise how safe and supported they felt, noting that the small group size allowed for genuine connection.

The setting is a four-bedroom log cabin surrounded by tall pines, about a mile from downtown Winter Park and the ski resort. The cabin accommodates just eight guests, which keeps the experience personal. Meals are served together as a group, and while most are included, the agenda also includes meals out at a local restaurant called Terrain Taco, so you get a taste of the town as well.
