For Who? 

Any adult feeling the call to unplug, immerse in nature, in need of sacred pause, seeking nervous system support or looking for something deeper than rest. No experience is required, however an openness to learning tantric breath (root 2 heart), immerse with bee medicine, touching the soil and an open heart and mind to receive the gifts of nature. This retreat is for those ready to just bee - not constantly doing. The bee hut is a cell phone free zone. We ask our guests to be sober and leave any alcohol and drugs at home. Bees pick up on mind altered states anyway and perceive this as a threat. Apiary therapy supports cellular healing, tissue repair, insomnia, body pain, neurological challenges, stress, grief/loss, ADHD-neurodiversity, opening the heart space, nature intimacy and times of transition or seeking clarity.
​

What You Can Expect?  

Expect stillness. Expect sound. Expect the unexpected moments of healing emotions that arise when you let the bees do their work. 

• You'll lie on a bee bed, in dark light as the energy shifting below you vibrates for vitality​

• You'll learn Earth Tantric Breath (root 2 heart), barefoot on the earth and honor your journey in sacred ceremony

• You'll be guided in two 1:1 private sessions designed around what you need to truly tune inward​

• You'll be supported emotionally, spiritually and somatically

• You'll eat simple, nourishing meals. Some food from the farm.

• You'll return home recalibrated. Not fixed - but softened, sovereign and reconnected.​

The Space?   

the retreat takes place on 8 stunning private acres at the Earth Tantra Outdoor Center and Raven Wild Farm Stay (and BeeZen Huts) in Delta, Colorado. We honor this land as the ancestral territory of the Native American Utes, holding deep respect for history and spirit.

Surrounded by breathtaking views of the Grand Mesa to the north and the distant Elk Mountains to the east, this high-desert sanctuary sits at an elevation of 5,200 feet. The property offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty:

• Towering cottonwoods, elms, and vibrant trees like crabapple and maple

• Open fields, a small pond, loving lavender and peaceful rabbit brush

• Hidden micro-spaces for privacy and reflection

• Bee therapy hut (with limited access)

• Private outdoor bathhouse/nature spa shower

The communal areas include:

•  Cozy hammock spots for rest and relaxation

• An outdoor kitchen and eating patio

• A wood lounge deck and partially shaded outdoor circle

• A fire and dance space and ceremonial tipi

• 1/3 mile hiking trail

​

The land is also home to 5+ bee hives (peacefully tucked away), dozens of bird species, local plants, chickens, and two outdoor cats, along with two friendly dogs. Wildlife like foxes and raccoons may wander nearby, but larger predators, such as bears and mountain lions, are not present. This sacred space is imbued with a gentle, welcoming vibration—many feel the presence of kindness, healing, and the protective energy of the land’s spirit, lovingly referred to as Grandfather’s Protection. It calls to support all who seek healing, growth, and spiritual transformation. ​
