Return to Simplicity — Live Your True Nature
Dao House exists as a sanctuary where individuals and communities can reconnect with their true nature through immersion in the natural world, contemplative practice, and meaningful human connection.
Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Dao House offers more than a place to stay or gather. It offers a container — a peaceful environment intentionally designed to support reflection, learning, healing, and transformation. In a world that often feels increasingly complex and disconnected, Dao House invites people to return to something more fundamental: Simplicity. Presence. Nature. Community.

Why Choose Dao House
The Role of the Land
The land itself is one of the most powerful aspects of the Dao House experience.
Surrounded by the mountains, forests, and open skies of Colorado, the environment naturally encourages a slower pace of life and a deeper sense of presence.
Nature becomes an active participant in the retreat experience.
Guests often find that simply spending time on the land helps them:
- Quiet the mind
- Reconnect with the body
- Rediscover clarity and inspiration
- Experience a deeper sense of belonging to the natural world
Because of this, Dao House is not simply a retreat venue. It is a living environment that supports transformation.
This is sacred ground that the natives called the “Valley of Peace”, the land provides a container within which meaningful experiences unfold.
A Home for Retreat Leaders and Communities
Dao House supports the facilitators and teachers who guide transformative experiences.
Retreat leaders, workshop facilitators, and community organizers are essential partners in bringing meaningful and diverse programming to the land.
By providing a supportive environment for these leaders, Dao House becomes a gathering place where diverse communities can come together to learn, grow, and connect.
Retreats may range in size from small intimate gatherings of five participants to larger programs of more than one hundred guests.
This flexibility allows Dao House to host a wide variety of experiences while maintaining a sense of warmth and personal connection.
A Nature-Based Spiritual Sanctuary
Dao House is best understood as a nature-based spiritual sanctuary.
It is not limited to a single tradition or path and welcomes a wide range of practices that support awakening/awareness, well-being, and transformation.
These may include:
- Meditation and mindfulness
- Yoga and breathwork
- Tai Chi and Qigong
- Healing arts
- Spiritual inquiry
- Leadership development
- Conscious community gatherings
This openness allows Dao House to serve as a meeting place where many traditions and practices can come together in harmony.
