Details

Breath & Soma is an intimate retreat for anyone longing to step away from the noise and listen more closely to what their body may already know. At the center of the weekend is Breathwork Mastery RBM, a gentle form of conscious connected breathing that emphasizes intention, nervous system support, and a psyche-led process. Rather than pushing for intensity, catharsis, or a dramatic breakthrough, we create the conditions for your experience to unfold naturally. Each breathwork journey begins by clarifying an intention: not a goal to force into existence, but a quiet orientation toward how you want to meet your life. From there, the breath becomes a way to notice sensations, soften holding patterns, and make space for insight and change. The retreat is held in a small-group setting with an unusually high level of facilitator support. Between sessions, there is room to rest, reflect, walk the land, soak in the outdoor hot tub, connect with others, or simply do nothing. Nourishing Ayurvedic-inspired meals are shared throughout the weekend, allowing you to settle into the retreat without having to think about feeding yourself or what comes next. Set on 40 acres in Missouri Heights with expansive views of Mount Sopris and the Elk Mountains, Breath & Soma offers a spacious, grounded environment for inner listening, meaningful connection, and returning to everyday life with greater clarity and self-trust.

Welcome to Elkstone Lodge, a secluded mountain hideaway set just minutes from Glenwood Springs’ famous hot springs, Sunlight Mountain Resort, and the family-friendly thrills of Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Surrounded by open valley views and snow-capped peaks, this expansive retreat is built for groups who want privacy, comfort, and room to unwind—all while staying close to the best of Colorado’s outdoor playground. Inside, the great room greets you with soaring wood-clad ceilings, walls of glass, and a stone fireplace that anchors the entire space. A piano adds a charming touch, perfect for slow mornings or cozy après-ski evenings. The open layout flows into a full chef’s kitchen with double ovens, generous prep space, and a sunny breakfast nook for four. Gather for meals at the dining table for eight, or step onto the deck to watch the light change across the mountains.

Meals will be simple, nourishing, and shared communally. Expect serve-yourself breakfasts and generous buffet-style lunches and dinners with fresh salads, warm soups, breads, seasonal vegetables, and protein options. The food will be primarily Ayurvedic-inspired and vegetarian-forward, with plant-based choices available. Meals are designed to feel grounding and supportive without being overly restrictive. Dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.

Schedule

The retreat begins Friday evening with time to arrive, settle in, share a light meal, and meet the group. Saturday and Sunday follow a spacious rhythm centered around two extended breathwork journeys each day. Morning movement, intention setting, shared meals, integration, and optional evening Yoga Nidra are woven throughout, with plenty of unstructured time to rest, walk the land, soak in the hot tub, or connect with others. We close Monday morning with gentle movement, breakfast, and a final integration circle before departure.
