Experience pristine nature, monastic silence, and dark skies filled with stars. Choose from curated retreat formats – or create your own path.
Not sure which format fits? Tell me what you're looking for — I'll help you find it, or we'll build something custom.

Zazenkai weekends, Sangha work weeks, and practice intensives throughout the year. Each is an open door – come for a weekend, or settle in for longer.

Experience the way how teachings and practice will evolve in your daily routine at Crestone Mountain Zen Center. Join us for at least one year and dive deeper into Monastic Practice.

Settle into the daily schedule, practice zazen, and share the work in the kitchen, garden and grounds. Our Volunteer Program runs from mid-May to late September.
