Adore this place
This retreat center is situated with uninterrupted views of the Indian Peaks, with a stream flowing through it and aspen and evergreen forests. The retreats I’ve attended here are really well considered and simple and comfortable. The teachers they draw together are amazing and it was created tangible benefits in my day to day experience.

A Fabulous Week at RMERC
I have been on dozens of retreats in the past 40 years and I can't say enough good things about RMERC. My week spent there during the meditation nature retreat was so very special in so many ways. Will be passing along a recommendation to family and friends for sure.

Non Dual Retreat
A perfectly designed retreat.
The balance of silence to teachings to community were ideal. Led by facilitators of great experience, wisdom and the ability to teach. A week of learning on a great natural property, about Beauty, Love and Oneness.

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.
