• Minimum of 2 pre-retreat emails with optional tips videos, what to bring, etc

​

Can locals attend?

Yes, locals are encouraged to attend!  If you live more than a 30 minute drive, consider staying in Buena Vista to avoid the stress of driving at night.

​

Are there places to eat nearby?

Buena Vista has many restaurants to meet many dietary needs. We will share a list of our favorites to meet all dietary needs in the group emails.

 

Is this retreat clothed?  

Yes, this retreat is fully clothed at all times.

​

Do you offer anything longer?  

Yes, private retreats OR  Feb 21-27th, 2026  Sensual Souls Advanced Retreat in Roatan. Art Of Loving will meet the prerequisite for Sensual Souls. 

​

What if I'm a little uncomfortable? 

Each practice and session is always presented with options to adapt to each person's comfort level.  Comfort is a priority and we grow upon each practice step by step to ensure a gentle introduction for deepening your connection with your partner.​​

​​

What can I bring?  

Comfortable warm and cold weather clothing, white ceremonial clothing, water bottle, AND one meaningful item (stone, photo, quote/poem, etc) to share on the alter - you will receive the item back.  If you are driving from home, we highly suggest bringing a personal blanket, yoga mat, extra pillow or cushion to stay warm and cozy with your beloved. Anything else to help you feel comfortable.  A more detailed list will be e-mailed a few weeks before the event.

 

Where are the closest airports?  

Denver airport is approximately a 2.5hr drive to Buena Vista, and Colorado Springs airport is only a 2hr drive. If you are driving from Denver/front range, give yourself extra time to drive. We highly suggest you arrive the night before or stay at a halfway point if possible, especially to adjust to the elevation. Elevation sickness is really a thing and affects many people.

*A suggested packing list for mountain weather and travel will be sent out closer to the retreat.
