Together, we heal.

Last week, my collaborative partner John and I returned from our High Mountain Healing Yoga Retreat in Crestone, CO, where we had the honor to lead twenty-four beautiful guests through a carefully curated yoga getaway. The experience filled our hearts with love and gratitude.

While tucked away in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains, our carefully designed retreat featured various healing activities and provided guests with opportunities for nourishment, growth, and self-care.

In addition to practicing yoga, meditation and breathwork, attendees connected with nature, learned about the unique history of the San Luis Valley, contemplated yoga philosophy, and formed bonds with newfound friends. Each beautiful participant exhibited strength, courage, and kindness, making the experience magical and unforgettable.

The retreat weekend, which included four days and three nights at the picturesque Blazing Mountain Retreat Center, was carefully curated to allow for a fine balance of adventure, exploration, rest, and rejuvenation.

Each activity was optional, and we created a safe and supportive space that allowed for any necessary accommodations, including a carefully planned food menu featuring delicious meals to meet each of our guests' needs.

I was grateful to have students who have been part of my classes, meditations, and offerings since I first launched Soul Tribe Yoga Collective in attendance. It was also meaningful to have other attendees whose lives have been touched by chronic illnesses of various kinds.

We were also honored to host a wonderful scholarship student, whose attendance was made possible by funds we raised throughout the year and the generosity of our community.

On our final evening, we sipped delicious ceremonial-grade cacao and sang with open hearts. We gathered around a bonfire to clear the obstacles that prevent us from experiencing our highest good so that we can transform them into what will support us on our journeys to bliss and thriving.

With love and gratitude,
Milena
