JOIN US FOR A 2026 HEALING ADVENTURE!
Come join us for an epic weekend of rock climbing and yoga at The Nature Place in Florissant, CO. Just two hours outside of Denver, The Nature Place offers easy access to the outdoors, pristine lodging, and guides to show you the ropes at their private climbing areas. Whether this is your first time out or you’re a seasoned climber, this program is perfect for all levels and no prior rock climbing experience is necessary.
When you’re not climbing or doing yoga, you’ll share delicious meals and stories with other healthcare workers on your program. This weekend will be the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation so you’ll have the opportunity to recharge.
All accommodations, meals, and gear will be provided.
