It is becoming increasingly difficult to find the peace and quiet necessary to hear the “still, small voice” of God. This is perhaps due to the fast pace of modern life that is almost impossible to escape. Pura Vida retreats offer a sanctuary in the mountains where one can temporarily step out of a busy life for silence, solitude, study and prayer.

Come experience the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. There is no phone, no TV, not a single distraction; only peace, quiet, and nature. It is an ideal environment for spiritual renewal. After a few days, the simplicity of living in such an environment becomes second nature. These retreats have a way of clearing the mind of the clutter of daily life.

Retreatants participate in a variety of activities, from planned discussions and study to the daily cooking and cleaning. There is always plenty of time for solitude, prayer, and study. The areas we choose are often near lakes and streams, and there are always good opportunities for hiking or simply enjoying nature far from the civilized world.
