I just spent Christmas at the Crestone Mountain Zen Center and it was was an absolutely magical experience! I visited alone, but spent time with a great small group of others that chose to make the center their "home for the holidays". The resident students of the center, who effectively work as staff, warmly welcomed all of us guests into their fold, and together we created a lovely mix of zen Buddhist practice and Christmas traditions. If you are looking for a retreat center with a serious and well-established tradition and lineage, yet one that welcomes all others enthusiastically and with much flexibility, the this center may well be the perfect fit for you! read more

Beautiful and amazing retreat. Great people, affordable prices and the best vegetarian meals. The center is on 230 acres - surrounded by mountains, vistas overlooking the San Luis Valley, lots of juniper and pine trees and abundant wildlife. Kindness and gratitude flow freely here. read more

My wife and I attended a week long yoga retreat here. The facilities here are great and yoga studio is amazing. A big draw is the daily, morning Zen meditation for which all guests are invited. Drama talks are also offered. Wonderful meals as well. Very highly recommend. read more

A gem here in Crestone. The Zendo is really one of a kind. A great place to come for some retreat time. The mountains and views an added plus. read more

Specialties

Crestone Mountain Zen Center is a Zen Buddhist monastic practice and retreat center in Colorado. It offers residential training in Zen meditation and practice under the guidance of Head Teacher, Zentatsu Baker Roshi, Dharma Heir of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and Resident Teacher, Zenki Dillo Sensei, Dharma Heir of Baker Roshi. Zen practitioners are welcome to join the residential practice as students or apply for programs such as the annual 90-day winter Practice Period, Sesshins, Seminars, Weekend Sittings, Work Practice Weeks, and Wild Dharma Practice. Individual guests who want to enjoy the beauty, quiet, and isolation of the Crestone mountains can rent cabins throughout the year except during our annual three-month monastic Practice Period (January 9 - April 28), when the Center is closed to the public. From mid-July through mid-September, group leaders can rent the facilities for group retreats, seminars, workshops and conferences. Retreats in the past have included meditation from different wisdom traditions, yoga, music, dance, bodywork, wilderness expeditions, medicine, and psychotherapy. Crestone Mountain Zen Center is located on the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains overlooking the San Luis Valley - one of the most remote and dramatically beautiful areas in North America. Nestled against the rugged 14,000 foot peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and surrounded by 240 acres Piñon Pine and Juniper forest, the beauty and seclusion of our Center is a uni
