Fall Equinox Retreat
for Helping Professionals

Reset, Create, and Connect

This nurturing nature- and creative arts-based retreat offers respite from a busy schedule and the energetic demands of being a helping professional.

If you are a therapist, healer, counselor, coach, or community leader seeking to reset the balance between tending to others and yourself, this retreat offers you two days and two nights of nature immersion, creative self-expression, group discussion, movement, and meditative practices. (Plus an additional optional day hike up Byers Peak if you stay another day!)

  • Reset your nervous system with practical tools for reclaiming your peace

  • Create a customized map that aligns with your unique gifts and goals

  • Connect with other like-hearted helping professionals to build community


We’ll tap into a sense of wonder and awe, and reflect on values, passions, and pursuits during the transformative transition of the fall equinox.

You’ll leave feeling relaxed and re-inspired to enter a new phase of service and self-care.

Retreat to a beautiful place in the mountains of Colorado (just two hours Northwest of Denver). The Solstice Retreat for Helping Professionals will be held at the Steel Mandala — a small getaway nestled in 10 acres of alpine forest in Fraser, Colorado — near Winter Park.

Take a walk on tranquil trails, stick your toes in mountain creeks, or nap in a hammock under the trees. You’re welcome to stay at Steel Mandala, or stay off site and join us for retreat activities and meals.
