Slow Down & Find Your Bearings
Waunita Hot Springs Ranch, Gunnison Colorado
Friday Oct 23, 2026 (5pm) — Sunday Oct 25, 2026 (2pm)
A nature retreat for people ready to slow down and listen
A weekend in the Colorado high country to unplug and come back to yourself. No performance, no cell service — just open space, hot springs, a historic dude ranch, and a mix of structured reflection, practical skills, and unstructured time to rest.
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you’ve somehow lost yourself along the way — this weekend was designed with you in mind.
What to Expect
Two days to stop navigating by someone else’s map
Most of us don't get two uninterrupted days to ask what we actually want. We fill the gaps. We stay busy. We perform.
This retreat creates the space to stop — and to reconnect with the natural intelligence that's been underneath the noise the whole time.
It's partially structured and mostly spacious. There will be teaching, reflection, meditation, and long stretches of time to simply be in one of the most beautiful corners of Colorado.
Guided practices that use the landscape itself as the teacher. Presence, sensation, and the art of slowing down.
❋ Mindfulness in nature
Ikigai-guided reflection on what you love, what you're good at, and what a flourishing life actually looks like for you.
❋ Meaning & purpose
❋ Beliefs & self-authority
Understanding the stories running your life — and the skills to begin writing your own.
Hot springs soaking, open time, fresh air, and the particular rest that only comes from being completely offline.
❋ Rest & recharge
Remote, Rugged, Beautiful ....Perfect...

—No cell service · Offline by default
Waunita Hot Springs Ranch sits at 8,900 feet in the Gunnison backcountry — remote, rugged, and genuinely beautiful. It's been run by the same family for generations. It's not fancy. That's exactly the point.
No cell service. Spotty internet. Just the mountains, the hot springs pool, and the particular freedom that comes from being unreachable for a couple of days.
