Colorado Mountain Retreat
Available spots
Service Description
This retreat is designed for photographers looking for time to slow down in a restorative community environment. You'll spend several days in the Colorado mountains, moving through aspen forests, exploring ghost towns, watching wildlife, soaking in hot springs, and making photographs. The landscape gives you a lot to work with. What you do with it is entirely up to you. Each day includes location opportunities, open exploration time, and evening group sessions where you share work, give feedback, and have honest conversations about photography and the experience of being an artist. The group is small by design. Everyone is here for the same reason: to think more clearly, shoot more intentionally, and reconnect with why they picked up a camera in the first place. No rigid curriculum. No pressure to perform. Just good company, extraordinary scenery, and dedicated time to do the creative work you keep putting off.
