Retreats

From June through September, Crestone Mountain Zen Center holds its annual Guest Season, during which groups can rent our facilities for retreats, seminars, workshops and conferences. From October through May and in between summer groups, private cabins are available for individual retreats.

Crestone is one of the most remote and dramatically beautiful places in North America. Nestled against the rugged 14,000 foot peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and surrounded by 240 acres of Piñon Pine and Juniper forest, the beauty and seclusion of our Center provide a unique environment for contemplation and inquiry, or for focusing on writing or other work projects.

Group Retreats
If you are interested in bringing your group to Crestone Mountain Zen Center, please take a look at the group retreat pages on this website or contact our office. The CMZC Guest Season has included retreats, seminars, workshops and conferences of various kinds: yoga, music, dance, bodywork, writing, medicine, psychotherapy and meditation retreats from different wisdom traditions.
