The grounds are beautiful with incredible views of the mountains,, there are 2 hot tubs and a sauna on the property and its is close to the sweet little town of manitou springs, hiking trails and the world famous Sunwater Spa.
The weekend will feature inspiring holistic wellness talks, daily yoga and meditation sessions, lots of music and chanting, farm to table meals, positive community vibes and time to just get back to nature and enjoy the beauty and peace of Rockledge and Manitou Springs in the winter time.
