Human refuge, retreat and creativity

Outside of ordinary time, seated on honored ancestral ground, and surrounded by wildness, we are a significant place of retreat and deepening for all varieties of movement and mindfulness practice, and inspiration for creatives both cultural and artistic. We are devoted to creativity as an endeavor and a way of life.  We anticipate our yoga zone to be completed late Spring, 2025. This is also a gathering room for group brainstorming and meetings. If you are interesting in booking a retreat for your group, or our meeting space, please contact us directly.​​

Creativity

"Art is not a privilege, it's a right. It's a fundamental part of being human."

Vicki Keese and the Doo Dads

We have approached much of our renovation process with an artists' eye and our business model is creative with a willingness to take risks and think outside of the box. We support artists and aspire to bring more creatives to the place with both workshops and a retreat context for personal exploration. We have a resident artist who returns every several weeks, another happy guest connection. Artist Vicki Keese reached out to us in 2021 wondering if she could bring her vintage Airstream to our camping area with her pups to let her soul dangle for awhile? We're so glad we said yes! Vicki contributes something wonderful every time she stays with both her talent and her heart.  (We are open to art trades).

on-site Labyrinth

Our labyrinth is among one of our favorite guest stories of regenerative relationship. Connie Fenty came to stay with us early on in our stewardship and decided (as many do) that Ancient Echoes is one of her happy places. Connie has extensive wisdom around the meaning and design of labyrinths as an ancient tool of contemplation, which lucky for us, she offered as a gift to the place. Connie designed and helped us lay out a formal labyrinth near the Main Lodge, positioned in relationship with Sleeping Ute Mountain. We dedicated the maze to Mary, a dear friend of Connie's who passed away the day she arrived to lay out the formal plan on the ground. 

 

We are also tapped into cross cultural archetypal presences of The Divine Feminine in all her forms -however she is named- so we felt it apt to assign the sacred meme Mother Mary to our labyrinth, honoring the ubiquitous Great Mother of compassion you will find all about the place. We are members of the Labyrinth Society and Veriditas.  We are listed on the world wide labyrinth locator, and look forward to continuing to highlight this auspicious guest gift available for your experience.
