Trip Introduction 

This six-day adventure retreat is a favorite for women returning to Women’s Quest, and newcomers alike. Set in the natural splendor of the Rocky Mountains, our inspired staff takes care of everything, so you can truly focus on you. We slow the pace way down, so you have time to meander through meadows of wildflowers, meet new like-minded friends, learn new skills on the bike or on the trail, and soak in the sweeping mountain vista views.

Our activities, whether geared toward the body or the mind, are done at your own pace, according to your own inner wisdom. You only need to contribute an open heart and a playful attitude. If you’ve ever wanted to put your life on pause, to reengage with the natural world, to decompress, or to reenergize, this is the retreat for you.

We welcome all athletic ability levels and experience. Our adventures are designed to teach attainable skills appropriate to your comfort zone, and you will be grouped with women of similar experience. All activities are optional.

What to Expect on this  Adventure

Awaken in a cozy lodge with stunning mountain views. We’ll start the day with guided yoga or Qigong, followed by a healthy, hearty breakfast. Then, every day is a little different. We’ll discover the joy of running, learning proper form and technique, and practicing drills. Another day, we’ll hike through meadows and forests, or take in the views from our mountain bikes. We’ll also experience an invigorating ropes course. We’ll have daily inspirational talks, heart felt discussion and sharing, visualization, journaling, and creative activities, including the process of self-discovery called Heart’s Desire, designed to help us live more fully.

Accommodations

We will stay at the Woodspur Lodge in Winter Park, Colorado. The lodge is located on the border of National Forest Land, at an elevation of approximately 8500 feet. The Woodspur is a cozy A-frame log lodge with a magnificent view of the mountains. The mountains turn PURPLE at sunset! The 2-story lodge has a main dining area connected to a large common sitting area. Guest rooms are located in wings off the main area.

Two people share each room, unless you specifically request a single (there will be an extra charge of $175 per week for private rooms, and these are limited in number.) Each room has its own bathroom and shower. There are courtesy phones in the lodge, and a fax machine in the office; there are no phones in the rooms. Rooms have two queen beds, or one queen-size bed and a set of bunk beds (you can flip for the bunk bed!) The lodge has two hot tubs, a sauna, and laundry facilities. If you have a roommate preference, you can let us know. Otherwise, we promise to set you up with someone great! Roommates are the way to go-it is a lot of FUN!

* Transportation to and from the airport is not included in the cost.
