Silent Retreats

Oh how we talk, and yet how little words communicate. The intention for these retreats birthed out of our weekly day of silence, a time of rest, a time of being. Leading up to the birth of our first child, for nearly a year we spent almost every Sunday in silence, devoid of technology, simply being, in joy, in presence. How easy it is to slip into words, to speak only to fill up space, to talk out of habit. But what happens when we shift to a more subtle, more direct way of communication? What happens when we close off one form of communicating to tap into another form, a simpler form, a more clear, more direct, more intuitive form of language? That is where these silent retreats begin.

Come join us for one or two nights where you’ll stay in our cozy glamping tent

Surrounded by nature ~ away from the hustle and bustle

Being present with the animals ~ goats, chickens, ducks, bees, rabbits, a cat, and many wild friends ~ deer, birds, coyotes, foxes, prarie dogs, rabbits, and more.

Feel what it’s like to deeply commune with nature and exist as the wild creature that you are.

You’ll enjoy home cooked food made with love, much of which is grown and raised on our homestead

You can spend time walking through the trails that weave around our property, and you’ll see how it feels to shut off the digital world and go inward so you can truly hear yourself.

"Yosh and Aja have built an absolute haven. It was so nice to spend time in such a beautiful setting and disconnect from the stimuli of life and just be with the chickens and goats and bunnies and watch the sunrise and sunset. I felt sad to leave such a beautiful space but also replenished and revived. And always such a joy and pleasure to spend time with Yosh and Aja, learning about their wild and fantastic worlds of herbs and heritage food artistry. Would absolutely recommend a Sacred Rest retreat for anyone looking to reset their nervous system in a beautiful and inspiring environment." - Kelsey, Denver
“here are truly no words to express the awakening I have stepped into and received. The beauty that the both of you offer with your complete self is breathtaking.”
— Schanell, Pheonix, AZ
“Sitting out on their deck, basking in the sun, all three of you tenderly humming in unison as Yosh plays the harmonium, you will start to gently open up to a very different way of life. And quite a beautiful one at that. I could not recommend this retreat more highly.”
— Ryan, Denver, CO
“I will be riding on the residual momentum and grace from this retreat to finish out the entire year. It was single-handedly the most fluid yet gracious retreat experience I’ve ever had.”
— Benoit, Los Angeles, CA
“I came with an open heart and intention, and left completely transformed and ready to take on this outer world with new eyes. I also discovered that I can sing and that I love to sing. Thank you, thank you, thank you does not even cover a grain of the gratitude I feel for Aja and Yoshua for showing and teaching me this oneness and this magic.”
— Danielle, Pheonix, AZ
“The level of curation, quality and love that Yosh and Aja put into the retreat’s food offering is one of the best culinary experiences of my life.”
— Mandilyn, Washington D.C.

Come back to the basics of being human…

Silence

Having the space to rest into what is and the beauty surrounding you, the way often becomes clear. Oftentimes with so many distractions, our intuitive knowings can be obscured. Having no where to go, nothing to figure out, and no one to be, our true essence is able to shine through, illuminating our path ahead with trust and surrender.
Nature

Enjoy the expansive spaciousness here on this 5-acre homestead, nestled in the foothills of Boulder, CO. The property is filled with beautiful trees and mountain views. You will feel nestled in the privacy of the camping area where you can lay in a hammock, enjoy outdoor meals, explore the gardens, or be with the many different animals here. Our favorite creek spot in Boulder is just a 5 minute beautiful drive up Lefthand Canyon.
Nourishing Food & Mindful Eating

Food is medicine, and it’s not just about what we eat — but also how we eat that has a drastic impact on the way in which we feel. During your time, before dropping into silence, you’ll be guided on a mindful eating journey to really connect with the food and uncover blocks and conditioned patterns you may have picked up throughout your life. From this place you’ll learn to truly nourish yourself and reconsider how you eat. Most all of the food is homemade, locally sourced and organic. Most dietary restrictions can easily be accommodated.
