About us
Sky Mind Retreats is a community dedicated to Nature Dharma retreats. All retreats are held in natural outdoor settings. Our offerings include a variety of experiences such as camping retreats, backpacking adventures, and kayaking excursions, among others. While most retreats take place fully outdoors, some may offer indoor sleeping options, allowing participants to enjoy being outside during the day (weather permitting). Most of our retreats are grounded in the Insight Meditation tradition.
Nature retreats provide an opportunity to explore the power of a silent meditation retreat while immersed in the beauty and wildness of nature. We participate in an age-old tradition of going into the wilderness as a support for spiritual practice and inquiry. Immersed in nature, we use meditation practices to increase our receptivity to interconnectedness, preciousness and to the beauty that surrounds us.

As winter thaws and the high peaks awaken with new life, this springtime retreat invites you to explore mindfulness in the living presence of the Rocky Mountains. Informed by the teachings of the Burmese monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya, with whom the teachers have studied, our practice emphasizes a relaxed, natural awareness.
This outdoor retreat is centered on teaching powerful and practical mindfulness tools to help you stay afloat amidst life's challenges, allowing you to move freely with clarity, peace, and wisdom. Through guided practices of insight meditation you’ll learn how to stay anchored in the present moment, even as the currents of life flow around you.

This Buddhist-based retreat is informed by the biological understandings of Organic Intelligence®--we will begin by coming into the present moment through connection with the outer landscape of the natural environment. From there, we cultivate a relationship with the inner landscape through walking, standing, and sitting meditation.
