Reimagining Our Stories: Discover Wholeness
Nederland, Colorado
July 10-13, 2025
Is it time to step back and reconnect with yourself, nature, and what matters most? Join us this summer in the beautiful Colorado mountains outside of Nederland.
Stories That Transform
The stories we tell ourselves and the stories we inherit have tremendous power to shape us. And while we can’t change what has happened to us, we can change how we interpret those stories by looking at what happened with love and compassion. There, we discover the truth that our deepest nature is larger than any of our stories.
Imagine a Journey Where...
Join us for a time of spacious self-reflection, time in nature, guiding questions/exercises, and connecting with others as together we explore ways to reimagine our narratives and glimpse the hidden wholeness in each of our lives. When we do this important individual work, we are also contributing to the collective evolution of humanity.
In addition to the weekend itself, we will be offering one zoom opportunity beforehand to help us prepare and make the most of our time together. After the retreat, we will offer one additional zoom opportunity in the weeks to follow as a way of integrating and deepening what we learned. Recordings of these sessions will be available for those who are not able to attend.
Join Us to Transform Your Inner World!
Accommodation:
A Peaceful Haven in Nature
Dragonfly Retreat Center, located on six beautiful acres in the mountains outside of Nederland, Colorado, offers a simple and relaxed atmosphere with a commitment to sustainability. The Retreat house is located on a small creek and bordered by forest service land for accessible hiking and walking.
The house contains five bedrooms with double occupancy (separate beds) and three shared bathrooms. Additional enclosed ‘sun showers’ and composting toilets augment facilities. Accommodation is ideal for a small group of 10-15 people.
There are also options for tent or small RV camping on the property, in addition to a very simple hermitage and a teepee with cots. Chef Stephen Lamborn prepares delicious, healthy meal on site.
Navigating stairs and uneven walkways will be necessary.
THE SPACE
Take a break and unwind at this serene oasis. Join us for a rejuvenating stay at Dragonfly Ranch, a mountain retreat nestled among forested land on three sides, offering unparalleled views. A stream flows just outside the deck, surrounded by towering spruce, aspen, and pine trees in the Emerald Forest.
Dragonfly Ranch is conveniently located just 9 miles from Boulder surrounded by forrest outside of Nederland, a charming Colorado mountain town known for its exceptional cuisine, bookstores, and unique shops, including a food co-op. Nederland is a hub for outdoor adventure, live music, breweries, coffee shops, and eclectic living. You can easily take the bus from wherever you are coming.
Dragonfly Ranch is truly a place to get away and find yourself. The land's energy is palpable, and we honor and appreciate the ancestors who resided before us. This land is recognized as the unceded homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute tribes.

Some of the Featured Cuisines
Global Vegan Cuisine Across Cultures
Spanish Cuisine:
A tapestry of tastes
Spanish cuisine invites you to savor bold and hearty flavors, whether the fragrant saffron-infused paella or the playful variety of tapas. Sharing tapas over lively conversation is a cherished tradition that reflects Spain’s vibrant social culture.
Thai Cuisine:
A balance of flavors
Thai food is a vibrant fusion of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and sometimes bitter elements, creating an explosion of flavors in every bite. Influenced by neighboring cultures, Thai cuisine embodies the perfect blend of complexity and balance.

JULY 18–27 — Daily Rhythm of Awakening
Each day unfolds as a sacred offering, attuned to the rhythm of the soul and the promise of true presence. This retreat is not about doing more but becoming more you.
Morning
At 7:00 AM, we begin with a gentle entry into the day through neurofeedback and meditation. These sessions will start short and gradually deepen into continuous, immersive experiences, designed to rewire patterns and awaken presence. We will be there, guiding and holding the space energetically, helping you drop beneath surface noise into a direct experience of peace.
After a nourishing breakfast, we dive into a potent morning lecture from a carefully chosen teacher whose wisdom mirrors the day's theme. These teachings serve as gentle signposts—reminders that your awakening is not only possible but already unfolding.
At 11:00 AM, we step onto the mat for Hridaya Hatha Yoga, a meditative movement practice that opens the body and quiets the mind. We will move with you, demonstrating how we embody stillness in motion. The yoga flows effortlessly into a silent meditation, where your inner stillness deepens further.
Midday
Day 3 – Exploring Collective Stories
On this day, you’ll rise to a breakfast that fuels your body and
spirit. The focus will shift towards reimagining collective stories,
inviting you to consider the narratives shared by communities and cultures. During our session, you’ll uncover the interconnectedness of these stories and their impact on your life. Following a period of self-reflection, the afternoon will offer space for personal activities, encouraging you to absorb the morning’s revelations. As the day concludes, an evening session will invite you to integrate and deepen your insights, preparing you for the final day of transformation.
Day 4 – Beyond the Story
The final morning will offer a breakfast that prepares you for the
culminating experiences of the retreat. In our closing session, you’ll explore the concept of moving beyond the story, embracing the wholeness that lies beneath the narratives. A break will provide a moment to process these profound insights. The closing circle will offer a sacred space to share reflections and express gratitude, weaving together the threads of your journey. As you gather for a farewell lunch, you’ll carry with you the tools and understanding to continue reimagining your story beyond these nurturing mountains.
We've designed this space for seekers like you, and we will walk alongside you, guiding, supporting, listening, and witnessing.
*Spaces are limited. Reserve your place, and step into the truth of who you are.

Yes to Gentle Healing and Deep Clarity
Retreat Leaders
Rev. Elizabeth Jameson
Elizabeth is forged by the Christ tradition, the mystic path and her own living communion with the Divine, drawn to walk the edges of what is known. Elizabeth’s embrace of all that is, including suffering and pain, with a radical, expansive love opens within her a spacious place of healing and wholeness. Her radiance is contagious, permeating her work as priest, spiritual guide and intuitive healer. Throughout her life and career, Elizabeth Jameson has been committed to nurturing spiritual growth, fostering community, and saying ‘yes’ to love by putting Christ and Christ’s love at the center. Elizabeth has a Master of Divinity from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary and is a graduate of Harvard University. For nearly twenty years, Elizabeth’s active ministry included leading parishes as an Associate Rector or Rector and serving as Chief Operating Officer of an Episcopal Seminary. In 2016-2018, Elizabeth participated in the Living School through the Center for Action and Contemplation, led by the faculty Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bourgeault and James Finley. She experienced her first Vision Quest in 2018 in the silence of the southern Colorado wilderness, returning to support others over the years. Engagement with nature, wisdom teachers, mystics, a commitment to spiritual practice and community are the grounding for her life and ministry. Today, she lives in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado with her beloved husband, Jim, and precious black lab, Bailey. She is grateful for her son and bonus son, a large extended family and dear friends spread throughout the country. Delights include hiking in the mountains, traveling in their travel trailer and spending time with friends and family.
Rev. Ian Cummings
Not long ago, Reverend Ian Cummins came across a small spiral notebook from his middle school days, where he had attempted to answer the question, “What is the meaning of life?” Forty-five years later, he admits he may not be much closer to an answer, but he remains deeply passionate about the question. Between then and now, Ian studied business in college and began his career in a management trainee program at a large company. He quickly realized it wasn’t for him. A year spent in South Africa prompted a profound reevaluation of his path, leading him, somewhat unexpectedly, to seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity. Yes, that’s a real degree, though, as he likes to point out, it doesn’t actually make one more divine. It did, however, qualify him to become a pastor, a role he took on (reluctantly at first) and served in for two decades at a vibrant, dynamic Presbyterian church in Denver. It was a meaningful chapter of life for both Ian and his wife, who had once insisted on a promise that he not become a pastor, and together they raised two children in that community. The experience challenged and shaped him in ways he never anticipated. In May of 2024, Ian stepped away from traditional ministry to explore new callings. Today, his work centers on helping people live more attuned toand more trusting of, the great Mystery that surrounds us all. While it may not be the same as knowing the meaning of life, he suspects it might actually be something even better.

Join Us On a Deep Spiritual Dive
Step away from the noise of daily life and immerse yourself in the transformative beauty of Colorado’s wild landscapes. Our 10-day, nature-based silent retreat with neurofeedback offers a sanctuary for your mind, body, and spirit, designed to help you reconnect with your true self and the natural world around you, while also providing a neurological reset for home with you.
Imagine a Journey Where...
Amidst the silence of ancient mountains and the wisdom of whispering pines, you are guided into the sacred space of deep inner restoration. For ten days, you are held in a container woven with the golden threads of science and mysticism, where each breath, each moment, draws you closer to your original wholeness.
Neurofeedback, a luminous bridge between the seen and unseen, calibrates your mind’s hidden frequencies, gently dissolving the imprints of anxiety, depression, and restless nights. Your mind sharpens, your emotions soften, and your soul finds peace.
In the profound silence, you encounter the vast temple of your core being. Silent retreat practices quiet the endless noise, allowing your true essence to rise like mist from a sacred spring. Stress melts away. Clarity dawns. Emotional wounds begin to knit themselves whole.
As you move through each day, yoga and breathwork awaken your body’s ancient wisdom. Flexibility returns not only to your limbs but to your spirit. Through movement and stillness, you reclaim your natural rhythm, your vitality, your joy.
Guided talks on the mystics—sages who walked between worlds — ignite your heart with the flame of timeless wisdom. Their stories become mirrors, reflecting the divine spark within you and awakening a deep remembrance of who you truly are.
Every Element of This Retreat is Designed To:
Regulate your nervous system for profound relaxation and improved rejuvenation
Expand your cognitive clarity, focus, and emotional resilience
Heal emotional wounds and release layers of accumulated stress
Awaken your spiritual connection and renew your sense of purpose
Empower you with tools and practices for lasting transformation beyond these sacred ten days
