Avalanche Ranch
the tranquil setting for our Fall Reset Retreat includes 3 hot springs and a stunning view.
Step away into the rocky mountains of Colorado to slow down and turn inward. This is an amazing opportunity to reset emotionally, mentally, physically and not worry about anything. This retreat is specially designed to align with nature’s timing to reset, release + nourish all aspects of self. Through rounding we will peel away layers of deep rooted stresses accumulated within our mind/body which are inhibiting us from living fully. We will also have a sacred fire ceremony, sound healing, japa chanting and an evening gathering.
EVERY DAY INCLUDES:
✦ three locally sourced and cooked Ayurvedic meals + balancing teas
✦ guided rounds + self-paced rounds
✦ vedic knowledge talks
✦ opportunities for hot springs, nap time, gentle walks, journaling, resting by the pond and enjoying the fresh mountain air
✦ going within + connecting to Self
✦ deep reflection + expanding awareness
✦ time to unplug, restore, let go

Rounding is a systematic procedure derived from the ancient Veda* that's designed to purify the mind and body at the deepest level. This process consists of a specific sequence of easy yoga poses (asanas), balancing breath technique (pranayama), meditation, and horizontal rest.
The simplicity and effortless nature of the technique produces powerful results. Performing the proper progression with the correct intention allows deep-rooted stresses to release and brings the nervous system back into balance.
Effortless purification of the mind and body through Rounding can bring you to a greater state of happiness, clarity and peace more quickly. Practicing multiple Rounds on this retreat weekend is equivalent to 4-6 months of meditation.
It's easy to learn Rounding regardless of your physical fitness. Custom modifications are available for those with physical limitations. You’ll learn how to incorporate this advanced practice into your daily life at home for continued benefit.
The Veda is the ancient record of spiritual experiences and the source of the arts and sciences of meditation, yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and Eastern philosophy. It is a multi-faceted body of knowledge that contains many universal applications relevant to modern living. This complete system of knowledge is made available to compliment your meditation practice and support the expansion of inner fulfilment.

Please note that Avalanche Ranch does not have wireless internet access. The Ranch House has wifi (but it is spotty) in the event you need to check for an emergency. So, have that million-dollar meeting or money investment prior to arrival and say “talk to you soon” to family so you can go off the grid for a few days. The desire is to use this as a time to disconnect, unplug, recharge (yourself, not your phone). The ‘gram can wait…
Lodging (5 days, 4 nights at Avalanche Ranch Cabins & Hot Springs)
Three nourishing ayurvedic vegan meals a day + teas (dietary restrictions and requests will be honored to the best of our ability)
Meditation & Rounding: Each day 2 guided Rounds will be be offered, and the rest will be self-guided. Yogic Abhyanga Rituals will be done in the privacy of your room. Yoga mats, props + wall backings are available; however, if you are partial to your own mat, backjack, and cozy blanket/shawl for rounding then please bring it with you!
Special Experiences: We will have a couple special experiences in addition to the daily rounding. Anything on the formal agenda will be included in the retreat cost. There will be additional experiences available to you (spa treatments) at an additional cost.
You will receive a YDM MEDITATION Welcome Bag with assorted goodies to enhance your retreat experience
