Silence, Story, and Song: Finding Nourishment in Nature and Community

Silence, Story, and Song: Finding Nourishment in Nature and Community is a meditation retreat at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Its title names the three threads it is built around: silence, story, and song. It also names the two sources of nourishment it draws on, the natural world and the company of other people.

It suits anyone looking for a meditation retreat in the Colorado mountains that makes room for both quiet and connection. That includes people who want time away from daily noise and people who want to share that time with a community.

The Setting

Drala Mountain Center sits in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado, and hosts retreats across several areas of practice: the Buddhist path, meditation and mindfulness, creative expression, yoga and wellness, and the natural world. The Great Stupa is part of the grounds and hosts some of the center's retreats. A retreat here belongs to a place that is set up for contemplative practice, in a mountain landscape that is part of the experience rather than a backdrop to it.
