August 22–24, 2025
On Land Retreats, Yoga & Wellness
Program Start Date & Time: August 22nd | 7:00pm
Program End Date & Time: August 24th | 6:00 pm
Join international bestselling author and wisdom teacher Blake D. Bauer in the Colorado mountains for a weekend of deep healing, meditation practice, and life-changing self-care. Discover why anxiety, overwhelm, 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 love, 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 healing weekend 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.
