You’ll be staying in a private or semi-private king room with shared bathrooms—no sleeping tents required. Think glamping with cozy beds, hot water, and homestyle comforts.

But remember: we’re gathering at 9,200 feet above sea level, under the open sky, by sacred fire, and near flowing streams. Daytime sun can feel warm, but nights get chilly.

Bring layers.

Bring softness.

Bring yourself.

Clothing Essentials

• Warm layers (think cozy sweaters, thermal tops, puffer jackets)

• Comfy clothes for movement and breathwork (yoga pants, joggers, loose tops)

• Outdoor jacket and fleece for chilly evenings

• Beanie or warm hat for fire circles

• Lightweight gloves (optional, but appreciated at night)

• Comfortable walking shoes or trail sneakers (no hiking boots needed)

• Easy slip-on shoes or sandals for indoors

• Optional: scarf or shawl for layering and sacred ceremony

Comfort + Personal Items

• Water bottle (hydration is essential at high elevation!)

• Sunglasses + sun hat (the sun is strong up here)

• Lip balm + high-SPF sunscreen

• Moisturizer and lotion (mountain air = dry skin)

• Any personal toiletries you love

• Small flashlight or headlamp (for walking to/from fire circles at night, like your phone)

• Journal + pen (non-negotiable for the inner work)

• Eye mask and earplugs for sleeping

• Bug spray

• Bear bell or spray for hiking solo

• Headphones for music

For Fireside Activities

• Warm blanket or wrap for sitting by the fire

• Thick socks to keep your feet warm

For Embodied Practices

• Yoga mat (a couple are available to borrow if needed)

For Janzu water healing

• If you wish to add on a Janzu session to your retreat experience, please bring a swimsuit and a towel

❄️ Reminder: Weather can shift quickly in the mountains. It may be sunny and 70°F during the day, and drop to 35°F at night. Prepare to feel cozy, layered, and held by the elements.

✚ Especially if you are coming into town from sea level, this altitude can take some adjusting to. We have oxygen on-site in case you need it. The regional hospital is only 20 minutes away.

This is more than a packing list.
It’s a spiritual unpacking list.

Come with:

• A heart ready to release what no longer serves

• A body willing to listen

• A spirit open to mystery

• Your full, unguarded Self

Leave space in your bag—and your soul—for what God will place in your hands.

Sacred Considerations

• An open heart

• A willingness to release what no longer serves

• A spirit ready to encounter God in stillness, nature, and breath

Not essential, but deliciously nourishing. These are the small comforts that elevate your experience into ritual—tiny altars of self-tending in the sacred stillness.

• Silk or weighted eye mask (for deep rest or meditation)

• Face masks (hydrating, cooling, or clay-based—treat yourself)

• Essential oils (lavender for sleep, peppermint for altitude, frankincense for prayer)

• A robe or kimono (for morning tea or bedtime rituals)

• Coloring books and/or art supplies (for creative journaling)

• Devotional book or poetry (especially mystics or sacred feminine authors)

• Special journal or handmade notebook

• Crystals or small altar items (if that’s part of your practice)

• Sleep aid of choice (magnesium, melatonin, herbal tinctures)

Think of this list as your “personal sanctuary starter kit.”

These items aren’t required—but they are deeply allowed.
