Details of this retreat

This Breathwork Retreat will be held in a beautiful house on 20 acres of land in Paonia, Colorado. Nestled in the North Fork Valley with fields of flowers, orchards, mountain streams, vineyards and stunning views.

I remember as a kid going to my Grandparent's house in St. Louis for holidays. We each had our assigned rooms. My sister and I had the "blue" room and my brother had the "yellow" room. My parents the "white" room. My cousins, aunts, uncles and other relatives would also be there. There was lots of food, games and fun.

I can remember so often being in the "blue" room playing or falling asleep and hearing the hum of conversation and laughter. A feeling of connection. It's what I call "the buzz of love."

I felt it again at a Fire Walk Retreat I did with at my Breathwork Teacher's house in New Mexico in 2019. I was staying in one of the rooms in the finished basement and I heard it, "the buzz of love." I was sitting on my bed doing something and I stopped and felt that familiar feeling and traced it back to my Grandparents house.

Have you felt that, too? Maybe in the same setting or a different one? If you haven't felt it, can you imagine it?

The Colorado Breathwork Retreat has this same vibration. It has the vibration of the "buzz of love." A cozy, love filled, fun and free feeling. A feeling of connection and coming home.

It's going to be so fun and soulful. The perfect balance between healing and joy.

It also holds the vibration of collaboration, friendship and co-creation! I’ve invited my friend, Brett, to DJ the music, Stephen (another great friend) is hosting us as his beautiful ranch overlooking the Rocky Mountains and Mike is going to be cooking some “spiritual experience” food. It’s going to be incredibly unique!

So grab your besties and let’s celebrate!

Enlightening
Denise and Cesar are 2 incredibly beautiful soles. They planned everything, and their way of running ceremony’s is truly amazing. I have healed, cried, laughed, learned and accepted my self on this journey. I came to peace with many things and Aya changed my way of viewing life. If you feel the calling to do a retreat I highly recommend you act on it. Denise and Cesar will lead a safe ceremony in which you can find what you’re there to find. Thank you Denise, Cesar and to the beautiful family that runs the retreat center!

An Incredible Life Changing Experience!
This retreat far exceeded by expectations for what I thought was possible. I will forever look back on this week as one of the most challenging, memorable and rewarding experiences of my life

Denise and Cesar are compassionate and amazing people that are genuinely running their retreats to heal. There guidance created a positive and safe environment that made the difficult parts manageable and the revelationary parts even more impactful.

Every aspect including the meditation, integration, breathwork, sweat lodge, excercises adds so much to the whole experience.

The ceremonies themselves are nothing short of beautiful and Denise, Cesar, and Irdanti's dance and music are amazing to see.

I strongly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to overcome any difficulties in their lives. You are in good hands with Denise and Cesar. I will forever be grateful for their work in this retreat and hope to return in the near future.

One of the most transformative 7 days of my life
I spent a week growing, healing & processing so much beneath the beautiful eucalyptus grove in Pisac Peru. Thank you so much to Denise Cooper and César Eret for leading such a beautiful, deep retreat. I can't recommmend the work they are doing enough - they hold such a safe, explorative space so you can be vulnerable and let go of what is no longer serving you. Pisac, Perú will always have a special place in my heart!

7-Day Juice Cleanse
This retreat was the best thing I could have done for myself and my relationship with my husband. Not only did I leave the retreat renewed in my body, mind and spirit, but also my husband grew closer. I have horrible allergies and asthma by the 3day no symptoms....I have been home now over 2 weeks and continue to do so much better as compared to when I left for Peru! Cesar and Denise are truly dedicated to each and every participant of the retreat......
Much love and GRATITUDE to both Cesar and Denise!

As a couple, the best thing we have ever done for ourselves and relationship!
What a great adventure!
When one needs to invigorate and reinvent their life, where do you start?
You start with yourself.
The Live, Life, Lit retreat gives you everything you need, body and mind to start a clean path to the rest of your life. I was amazed by the transformation of how one can feel, once you clear your system of toxins and waste hidden within your digestive system. 7 days of organic fresh juices and broths is all the body needs while staying solid food free. It was easier then I had thought. This was a complete body and mind reset. The best thing I could have done with my wife. Going through this together was such a boost to our relationship. Being together for over 23 years and raising children and grandchildren, we thought we had been through it all. This retreat re-introduced us in a way western medicine or conventional vacations could never accomplish. Denise & Caesar were both instrumental in creating a safe and nurturing environment. Not only by sharing their expertise, but by bringing a unique and varied group of personalities together to share space with, for 7 days. I have made some great friends for life during this retreat. There is so much more to this retreat then a 7 day fast. Other modalities offered were very impressive and made a very positive impact on our spirit. I highly recommend the Kambo Ceremony as an elective to definitely add to your experience. All the other specialists were unique and highly effective in pampering one’s soul and spirit. Meredith Shippam never ceases to amaze, in her power of clearing negative energy. You can be sure of every modality; as they are hand picked for there healing abilities by Denise and Caesar. I came to the conclusion that if they are part of this retreat, then they are of a high level in their respective crafts. The spiritual ceremonies were essential and magical. To experience Earth Mother (Pachamama) through the spirit of the vine is something you will never forget or regret. You could do yourself no greater favor, Do this one!
