Mountain Wellness & Bodywork Camping Retreat in the Colorado Rockies

This immersive camping and bodywork retreat takes place at Lake Elemental, a serene natural retreat center nestled on over 200 acres of pristine mountain forest in Florissant, Colorado. The setting itself becomes part of the healing experience, as you spend your days surrounded by towering pines, fresh mountain air, and the peaceful waters of a private lake.

The heart of the retreat is the practice of Breema, an ancient bodywork modality that uses nurturing touch and rhythmic movements to bring the body, mind, and feelings into harmony. Through five unique modular workshops, you'll learn and practice Breema bodywork sequences and Self-Breema exercises that are living expressions of the Nine Principles of Harmony. These universal principles offer a profound philosophy for living that can transform how you relate to yourself, others, and all of life.

Classes are held outdoors under an open tent, allowing you to breathe in the mountain air while you practice. The weekend format allows for deep immersion without being overwhelming, with structured sessions in the morning and afternoon, leaving time for swimming in the lake, hiking the property's trails, or simply resting in nature. The communal outdoor kitchen creates opportunities for connection with fellow participants as you prepare and share meals together.

Led by experienced instructors with decades of combined experience in Breema practice, the retreat offers invaluable support for bodyworkers, healthcare practitioners, and anyone interested in finding more meaning and fulfillment in life. The emphasis is always on direct experience rather than theory – you learn by doing, by giving and receiving bodywork, and by exploring how the principles apply to your own life.

This retreat is particularly special because it combines the transformative potential of bodywork practice with the raw beauty of wilderness camping. There's something profoundly healing about falling asleep under the stars after a day of nurturing practice, waking to mountain sunrises, and beginning each day with gentle movement and meditation.

The experience is designed to be accessible to all, regardless of prior experience with bodywork or camping. All you need is an openness to new experiences and a willingness to be present with whatever arises. By the end of the weekend, you'll have practical tools for self-care, new perspectives on health and harmony, and the refreshed spirit that comes from time spent in conscious community in nature.
