Deep Healing & Lasting Self-Love: A 5-Day Unconditional Self-Love, Qi Gong & Meditation Retreat

July 12–17, 2025

On Land Retreats, Yoga & Wellness

New Program Dates!
Previously Scheduled for June 8th – 13th. 
Program Start Date & Time: July 12th  |  7:00 pm

Program End Date & Time: July 17th  |  12:30 pm

Join international bestselling author and wisdom teacher Blake D. Bauer in the Colorado mountains for five days of deep healing and practical life-changing self care. Discover why anxiety, depression, chronic self-doubt, addiction, illness, and relationship problems are logical cries from your body, soul, and subconscious mind asking you to build a healthier relationship to yourself now; to value, accept, forgive, and be true to yourself in every situation.

In a culture that perpetuates and encourages high levels of illness-causing stress, we need to understand exactly how to slow down, find our center, regulate our nervous system, and care for our mental, emotional, and physical health in very grounded and practical ways. This retreat will provide the techniques and instruction you need to do this for yourself at home, as well as a safe environment to address core fears, mend old wounds, transform negative thinking, and find clarity around shaping the life and health you want.

Blake will share the seven optimal human habits each of us must master in order to heal, be well, and find lasting peace. These practices represent exactly how to love yourself, how to change your life, and how to cultivate deep presence and self-respect.

The program also offers real connection and in-depth discussion while you identify and shift your personal habits of self-harm, self-rejection, and self-betrayal. You will learn two of the most effective forms of self-care available– mindfulness meditation and qi gong healing exercises– both of which will help unlock the stuck energy, blood, and emotion that is keeping you unhappy, sick, or trapped.

This extended stay in the mountains will clarify and deepen your understanding of how to stop hurting yourself, how to trust yourself, how to feel worthy, and how to finally enjoy your life without regret and without feeling guilty for wanting to be happy, well, and loved.

What You Will Learn

Throughout this retreat, learn practical skills to:

  • Identify the root causes of depression, anxiety, insecurity, addiction & physical illness
  • Move beyond self-doubt into trusting yourself
  • Overcome self-rejection and shame, and stop making yourself wrong
  • Heal past wounds, traumas & habits of self-harm
  • Unlock stuck energy, blood & subconscious emotion that is making you sick, unhappy or frustrated
  • Forgive yourself & others
  • Remain present and solution-minded in the face of fear and uncertainty
  • Train your mind
  • Transform limiting beliefs
  • Clarify your direction forward
  • Live more fully in the present
  • Understand your life’s purpose
  • Improve your relationships
  • Come home to the source of peace & love within
  • Revitalize your physical body & health
  • Stop blaming or punishing yourself
  • Stop pretending to be happy or someone you are not

The topics covered in this retreat are similar to Blake D. Bauer’s Beyond Suffering, Deep Self Love & Freedom from Suffering weekend retreats, however this program allows guests additional days to rest, address important issues, practice meditation and qi gong, and go deeper into the process of real healing and change.

Anyone who has done a Beyond Suffering, Deep Self Love, or Freedom from Suffering weekend in the past is also welcome to attend the longer Deep Healing program, however past attendance is not a requirement to attend Deep Healing.
