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.

Beautiful setting with excellent teachers
I've been to two retreats here. The center is a special place where you can unplug and reconnect with your body and mind in a natural and supportive setting. The support includes excellent vegetarian/vegan food, coffee and tea throughout the retreat. Most of all is the support of deeply experienced and knowledgeable teachers to create a container for practice and growth. They were also helpful in organizing rides to and from Denver or Boulder as needed. Smooth and rewarding experience. The area is moose habitat and I saw moose during both retreats. Read More

Awakening in Nature with Peter Williams and Carla Brennon
The location for this retreat was the Rocky Mountain EcoDharma Retreat Center. This facility is located in Ward, CO and is fantastic! Clean with a variety of room options along with camping along a beautiful rushing river and "glampling" all at 8600 ft. You'll be looking out onto the Continental Divide of the Rocky Mountains! Peter and Carla's retreat was outstandingly run. Outstanding teachers and great practice! I highly recommend these two as well as this retreat center which offers many other retreat options. Oh, and the vegetarian food was scrumptious! Read More

Apocaloptimistic Dharma at Rocky Mountain EcoDharma Retreat Center
I recently had the opportunity to attend a retreat at Rocky Mountain EcoDharma Retreat Center. It was my first retreat there and I was just amazed at the beautiful mountain setting. The center is very private with many fine trails to wander on the property. There is also abundant wildlife with moose, elk and deer passing through on a regular basis. The lodge is comfortable, clean and welcoming. The food, prepared for us by Joel, the center’s chef, was superb with vegan and non-vegan options as well as gluten free. Our retreat was led by Vince and Emily Horn. They were excellent leaders and took us on a discovery of multiple different forms of meditation based on their years of experience as meditation and dharma teachers. I learned a new form of meditation called social meditation which was a really great way to get to know the other retreat participants. It was a great experience and I highly recommend RMERC.

The lodge is comfortable, offering comfy beds and showers, great food, incredible views and lovely hiking. The teachers had a great depth of experience, knowledge, authenticity, and care, and they were incredibly supportive. Can't wait to come back! Read More
