A Tuners Retreat
Roots & Resonance
Reserve your spotThe inaugural gathering
A gathering for those who tune
The Tuners Retreat is made for practitioners and students alike — people who are ready to do this work together in community, held in an astounding landscape.
An open high desert sky. The Sangre de Cristo mountains at your back. Geothermal waters rising up from the earth. We'll be held in a wild landscape open for transformation — between the mountains, supported by the waters.
Over four days, we'll work together — receiving sessions, sharing the practice, and supporting one another. We'll share meals, stories, and continue building the kind of community that grows stronger long after we've returned home.
Our days will hold movement, sound healing, workshops — with organic meals shared throughout together.
Please join us for the inaugural Tuners Retreat.
"Building roots in community and resonance together."

What we'll share
The full experience
Daily morning practices to ground the body, open the field, and begin each day rooted in yourself before the day unfolds.
Enjoy giving and receiving daily with your forks. Attune your skills, and receive lots of direct on-the-body work from your peers throughout our days together.
Daily integrative sound baths for all to receive — gongs, singing bowls, and other instruments, including our own voices. A full-body wash of resonance.
Unlimited access to Joyful Journey's geothermal mineral pools — ancient water rising from the earth, the best kind of integration.
Simple, nourishing meals — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — all prepared fresh and organic, served on-site.
Jillian leading an embodied entrepreneur workshop, Marielle guiding plant meditations, and full access to our plant medicine bar — flower essences, infused oils, and tinctures to keep you vibing all weekend. Gourmet mushroom microdose for a sound bath? Very likely.
The land
Into the wilds of
Colorado
The San Luis Valley is different. Spacious, expansive, wide open skies. Ringed by the Rocky Mountains, sitting at 7,700 feet — it has a quality of stillness that is rare and real. Spending days in the valley itself is a reset. Add geothermal mineral pools, the last golden aspens of the season, star-flooded November skies, and crisp high-desert air, and you have a location that does profound work just by being what it is. Add in our community, and voilà — we can't wait to welcome you.
Joyful Journey Hot Springs has held retreats, gatherings, and seekers for decades — a true refuge far from the buzz of city life. It will hold this gathering beautifully.

A collaborative container
Held by a grounded team — with space for you
A skilled, intentional team is creating this container — and we welcome participants sharing their gifts too.
MV
Marielle is a true wild woman long devoted to natural expression, connection to nature, and having a good ol' time. She's elated to welcome you all to this stunning neck of the woods.
MC
Melinda is a radiantly attuned woman who has been running regular women's circles from the jungles of Costa Rica for over 10 years. We are elated to have her stateside gathering our group — her sound baths are otherworldly.
JF
Joining us from her home in Sisters, OR, we are honored to have Jillian on board co-facilitating the week and offering strategic Empowered Entrepreneur workshops to help everyone continue the momentum after our gathering ends.
Joining us alongside Jillian, Matt brings an expansive skillset of Rolfing and sound mastery aboard the team. We're so glad to welcome his presence and gifts into the container.
Our dream photographer and Salida local. Her essence is pure honey and her eye for photography is refined, natural, and stunning. She has a way of capturing you without you even trying — we are so honored to have her weaving the weekend with us.
