Somaraja Retreats take place on Flagstaff Mountain, 2,000 feet above Boulder, Colorado. Our retreat sanctuary is nestled in a two-acre pine forest, surrounded by vast wilderness, home to a full-service Ayurvedic clinic and private retreat cabin. You will be within walking distance of gorgeous trailheads, with mountain views right outside your window.

Retreat Durations

Traditionally, retreats are conducted for two weeks to a month, especially around times of seasonal change. At Somaraja, we follow traditional principles in a range of durations—from one-day and weekend immersions to 3-day, 5-day, and longer retreats. Instead of fixed packages, we work directly with your needs and availability to design an optimal retreat period for you.

Therapies and Lineages

Retreat is an opportunity for your body, mind, and spirit to enter a nourishing container of rest and rejuvenation. Our retreats are rooted in the traditions of Ayurveda, Tibetan Medicine, and Chinese Medicine. We design our retreats on the principles of Ayurvedic panchakarma, Tibetan rejuvenation therapy (chulen), and Daoist inner alchemy. These ancient medical systems are based on natural laws and interventions that support the body to heal itself. Our retreats are designed to maintain a balance between therapeutic input and time spent in nature.
