Where Q’ero Medicine Meets the Colorado Mountains
A Rare Gathering at the Base of Pikes Peak
September 30–October 3, 2027
• Manitou Springs, Colorado
A three-night, all-inclusive retreat with three Q’ero Shamans from the Peruvian Andes, with chef-prepared meals and guided activities included throughout your stay.
Limited to just 18 guests, this intimate gathering offers a rare opportunity to receive sacred initiations known as Karpay directly from the Q’ero, sit with them in ceremony, and experience their healing traditions firsthand.
A More Personal Experience
Leave the hustle of everyday life behind and come to the Rocky Mountains, where you’ll have the space to slow down and enjoy yourself.
With a small group, there’s more space for genuine connection. Throughout the retreat, you’ll spend meaningful time with the Q’ero Shamans, learning directly from them.
For those who would like personal time with the Q’ero, private healing sessions will also be available to book during the retreat for an additional fee.
A Sacred Setting at the
Base of Pikes Peak
Your retreat will be held at the historic Onaledge and Rockledge Houses in Manitou Springs, Colorado, nestled at the base of Pikes Peak. Both are part of the Smokebrush Farms estate.
For three nights, this beautiful property will be your home. Set among terraced gardens, these historic homes offer comfortable accommodations, welcoming spaces to gather, peaceful outdoor areas, and a private deck with an 8-person hot tub—all surrounded by beautiful mountain views.
Beyond the retreat grounds, Manitou Springs is a historic mountain town known for its natural mineral springs. Downtown Manitou Springs is less than two miles from your retreat location, with local shops, restaurants, and plenty of historic charm.
You’ll also be just minutes from Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which takes you to the summit of Pikes Peak.
It’s a beautiful place to call home while you experience everything this retreat has to offer.
