About the location:

In Crestone, the stillness and vibrancy of nature becomes as obvious as the nature of our bodies. Crestone is situated in a very sacred valley at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains honored by the Native Americans indigenous to this area. It is home to many spiritual centers, and is a very powerful place for healing, transformation & regeneration. At the elevation of eight thousand feet the air is thinner & the sun brighter, with occasional afternoon showers. We suggest you bring a hat, sunscreen, moisturizing cream & layered comfortable clothing. Also bring a jacket for cool evenings of stargazing & a bathing suit for the hot springs. Bring ceremonial & celebratory clothes to dance in & please do not forget to bring your Yoga Mat (it will not be provided).

Travel Notes:

The closest airports to Crestone are Albuquerque and Denver. Both are a 4.5 hours drive to Crestone.
