I attended a week-long retreat (Metta: The Practice of Loving Kindness) that was absolutely life-changing. The location is beautiful and peaceful, the lodge is comfortable and peaceful, and the teaching and meditation were profound.

JOY !
Beyond an Amazing experience ! Couldn’t recommend it enough. Truly beautiful humans coming together to practice seeing joy in the everyday. Leaders are truly radiating people with gifted talent in teaching mindfulness. Highlights were the 48 hour solo in the woods and receiving group sessions on working the internal family systems therapy concepts!

The quintessential combo of nature, nurture and nutrition
I had a wonderful experience at a 5 day silent retreat called Budha nature, human nature, nature's nature. We had so many opportunities to walk in silence together and sit while experiencing the wild weather and natural beauty. And the food! It was an epicurean delight of vegan comfort food!!

Mission & Vision

Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center is a low-cost home for spiritual practice, with an emphasis on practice in nature. We are a supportive place for deep practice, a place for meditation, retreats, workshops and Ecodharma; a place for learning from nature, teachers and other participants, and a place for discovering ourselves in a wild environment.

Our vision includes workshops and retreats for activists, low-cost retreats offered in the spirit of generosity, retreats representing diverse spiritual practice traditions, and retreats for underserved communities including people of color, veterans, youth, and other groups who have historically borne or will bear the brunt of ecological and socio-economic devastation, and who are often at the forefront of spiritually-rooted activism.
