Meditation, Hiking & Contemplation
September 16-20, 2019
with Regina Dawn Akers
at the
Awakening Together Retreat House
in La Veta, Colorado
About the Retreat
This is a very active retreat with daily hikes in the Colorado mountains. Physical fitness and proper equipment (hiking boots/shoes, day pack, at least two water bottles, and rain gear) is required. Participants are encouraged to arrive in Colorado by Saturday, September 14 in order to acclimate to the higher altitude before the first hike on Monday.
The hikes will begin easy and get progressively more challenging as the week progresses, but will not require technical mountain climbing skills. Anyone who participates in a regular exercise routine and loves the outdoors should do well at this retreat. The hikes are led by a fit 59-year old woman, so you can count on a moderate hiking pace.
Daily meditation, contemplation and spiritual discussion are an important part of the retreat. Expect to rise early on Tuesday through Friday in order to meditate each morning before taking off for the hiking trails. You will have time for contemplation on the mountain each day and each evening after returning to the Retreat House. If you are from out of town, we recommend staying at the Retreat House, since the mealtimes will cater to the retreat schedule. (There are very few restaurants in La Veta.)
Retreat Schedule
The retreat will begin at 9:30am on Monday, September 16 and end by 4pm on Friday, September 20. We recommend arriving in La Veta on Saturday, September 14 in order to acclimate to the higher altitude before hiking begins on Monday.
All guests are welcome to stay at the AT Retreat House for up to 28 days. Longer stays are possible with permission.
