DIVE INTO NATURE
Why we chose this location
We are returning to Crestone and Blazing Mountain for our third Alma Ceremony Retreat. Nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and overlooking the vast San Luis Valley, Crestone—known as the spiritual heart of Colorado and home to Buddhist temples—offers a unique energy often described as a healing vortex. Blazing Mountain Retreat Center, where we held our very first Alma Ceremony, provides the perfect container for this experience with its simple, intentional setting, organic nourishing meals, and serene atmosphere. Surrounded by this sacred land and its profound healing energies, the retreat invites deep inner work, personal growth, and spiritual transformation.
