Crestone Healing Arts Center functions as a dojo, a structure traditionally regarded as a sacred space wherein the healing, martial and meditative arts are practiced.
Our 3000 sq. foot retreat facility is designed to support an in-residence intensive training format.
- The center's high ceiling and post and beam construction encourages openness and expansiveness.
- Residents have the use of a fully furnished kitchen, a solarium study and dining space, 2 bathrooms, laundry facilities, and sleep space in an upstairs loft area.
- A large open multi-purpose central area is used for study, lecture, yoga, martial arts ( Tai Chi, Aikido), and massage practice.
The majority of massage school students and yoga retreat participants have chosen to live on site.
