From Root to Blossom: A Yoga & Meditation Retreat On The Art of Becoming

“Beauty is that in the presence of which we feel more alive.” — John O’Donohue
Join Shawn Parell & special guests from May 29 to June 1, 2025, at Beyul Retreat, a verdant haven along the Frying Pan River in a secluded valley near Aspen, Colorado. Surrounded by aspen groves, wildflower meadows, and snow-capped peaks, Beyul invites you to immerse yourself in the natural world’s deep peace and green splendor.
Invite all your senses to the threshold between spring and summer—a time of growth, renewal, and inspiration. We’ll anchor our days with yoga and meditation, drawing from wisdom teachings and the natural landscape to study themes of growth, renewal, ephemerality, inspiration, and beauty as devotional practice. Leisurely days may inspire you to adventure on scenic trails, soak in the nestled outdoor hot tub, refresh with a cold plunge, read on the porch, receive a world-class astrology reading, enjoy a massage, or unwind in the sauna. Evenings may bring stargazing under an infinite night sky, gathering around the bonfire, or simply resting in the restorative energy of this special time.
Whether you’re seeking deep quiet or joyful reconnection, this retreat will invite you to make room for whatever is asking to be tended within you. Stay in cozy cabins and delight in nourishing organic meals. Leave feeling renewed, alive, and ready to open to the unfurling season of your life.
