The session room is clean and comfortable, and the feeling of "being taken care of" is palpable. Jeff even has his special dog, Miko (hope I got his name right) as a healing partner too!

Denver doesn't have very many Zen centers. But, we do have a very strong center with the ZCD…read more It's a beautiful setting, with comfortable carpeted floors (no shoes), tall ceilings, and an intricate shrine alcove. The center is easily accessible to those new to Buddhism or Meditation, with instruction available from qualified teachers in a setting that is separate from the main sitting room, so you don't feel intimidated by all those people in robes. Show up a little early so they know you need the lesson. Regular sittings, often twice a day. Regular talks and retreats. Nice folks. Check the calendar: http://www.zencenterofdenver.org/Calendar/ or the website for more info: http://www.zencenterofdenver.org/ For those more familiar with Zen practice, the ZCD leans a little to the Rinzai side, lineage is Robert Aitken Roshi's Diamond Sangha.

I attended a beginner night event at the Zen Center of Denver and was very impressed with the…read moreexperience. All of the beginner students were welcomed upon arrival and we were given basic instructions prior to the meditation session starting. I felt comfortable and prepared based on the instructions offered. The group was a mix of visitors and regular members and followed the structure of 25 minutes seated meditation, 5 minutes of walking meditation, a second 25 minute seated meditation and second 5 minute walking meditation. Following the meditation, the primary teacher and two group leaders offered basic insights on buddhism, the zen tradition and their group. They also invited us to become a regular member of their community, which was nice. While I am a fairly seasoned meditation practitioner, I appreciated the guidance and basic understanding of a practice that I am less familiar with, and I would recommend the beginner night event to anyone new to meditation, or interested in exploring the zen tradition.

Jonathan Ellerby built that Spiritual Center to an amazing place of healing and love over a [period…read moreof over 6 years because that is what he was. Rev. Christina Jones has completely destroyed that in a few short months. It transcends being a complete tragedy landing as a spiritual sacrilege. More so her entire board agrees with her threatening behavior. I went to drop off some warm clothes for a homeless man and found the doors unlocked and no one there. I have helped cook lunch and done other volunteer work there for over three years. I called the people who were in charge, and they were too busy to deal with it. I fended off 3 people who came in for 3.5 hours, one being quite belligerent. I called for help again as I am 77 and was ignored or yelled at. So then I left the clothes and necessities for the man at the St. Francis door where the church custodian or whatever he is took them and took the extra effort to throw them into a dumpster full of rotting food instead of just laying them next to the dumpster. When I heard about this, I went back with the homeless man rescued what we could and then wrote several angry emails about my abandonment and the cruel action of deliberately trying to destroy the clothes. So the not so good reverend, in my opinion did not like what I wrote and instead of attempting to do healing she wrote a really nasty email saying she had reporting me to the authorities, though she and everyone refuse to tell me who they are; and then openly threatened to have me arrested for illegal dumping and then board president Bob Bercaw or whatever his last name is sent me an email banning me from the property. Wish I could attach her emails here. So if this sounds like the kind of place you feel will advamce your spiritual growth then go for it. Spiritual growth here is like hiking through peanut butter and gratitude is a word that the reverend and the board can spell but that is as far as it goes.

Sunday Services are uplifting and positive with lots to take away and chew on. The music is terrific! The readings and poetry are fantastic as well. I love the classes, where you can really bring all of yourself and ask your questions, and join others on the spiritual path. Dr. Jonathan is a fantastic guide and he and the board really shepherd the community mindfully, with many opportunities to participate, join in, and gather in different capacities.

Padmasambhava Meditation Center (PMC) is a place for the study and practice of meditation in the…read moreNyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The center is named after Padmasambhava (tr. lotus-born), also known as Guru Rinpoche (tr. precious teacher), who was a great Indian Buddhist master and saint. Guru Rinpoche's activities enabled Vajrayana Buddhism to take a firm hold in Tibet. When practiced with devotion, compassion, and diligence, under the guidance of a qualified teacher, the teachings can be effective in awakening one's true nature. One can receive instruction here on how to practice meditation, either with the guidance of a qualified teacher, or by oneself on specific days and times. The staff/community, or sangha, and a supportive environment can encourage developing one's meditation practice. There are opportunities to listen to teachings with many Buddhist teachers in a specific lineage, study Tibetan Buddhist texts, learn preliminary practices, and participate in various ritual ceremonies. The goal of these programs is teach one to practice wisdom and compassion into one's life. On top of live teachings (which occur Thursdays for members), there are also sometimes streaming teachings that are recorded and available to the public to listen to at home - there is one up right now about Introduction to Meditation, from Sept 27th. Every Sunday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the center is open for all to come and do his or her own practice. On special days throughout the year, the sangha gathers to make feast offerings and practice meditation together. PMC's large and spacious meditation room has the capacity to welcome up to 450 people. The basement floor features a large dining hall, a large residential kitchen, and a library. A parking lot adjacent to the building offers ample space to park. There is a small shop near the entryway where one can purchase items to support practice, such as thangkha paintings, ritual implements such as incense, malas (prayer beads), prayer flags, bells, drums and books. The center is wheelchair accessible from the main entrance via a service elevator. Meditation cushions and chairs are provided in the main shrine room; but attendees are welcome to bring their own cushions if they wish. I have only been in here briefly, but it seems very well kept and like a positive place to visit if one wishes to learn to meditate or listen to teachings -- the little store is also very cool. :)

I dislike machines, big box gyms, and being yelled at by a trainer. THAT'S WHY I LOVE LIFE WARRIOR FITNESS! John and Amanda are simply amazing. John's barefoot bodyweight training is the best hour of fitness. I end up dripping in sweat, but I never feel like I've actually worked out. I tried yoga for the first time and Amanda was so kind and patient. Her yoga classes are kept small in an effort to ensure each student has personal attention. This is WAY different than CorePower yoga or any of those franchise yoga studios. I am so impressed with Life Warrior. They preach that transformation starts from within, and they're right. I've never felt so accepted in a fitness setting. Every exercise was adapted for me. Even in a class of 5 people, I felt like I had a personal trainer. I have now committed to going 3 times per week! And it's very inexpensive. Only $49 per month right now for unlimited classes! I highly recommend Life Warrior.

It's always blazing hot inside at all times of year. Makes working out extremely uncomfortable. They also only have 3 fans available in the entire facility. 2. The music is so bad. It's like a mix of oldies and soft rock. Nobody wants to work out to that. 3. There has not been a single time that I have asked a staff member a question when they actually knew the answer. It is the most infuriating thing to hear "I don't know" to every little question that you have. PLEASE train your people better or hire individuals that actually care to learn how to do their jobs.

I sought out David, owner of Soul Growth Network, after having moved to the Denver area. I was…read moreinterested in finding a new community for sound healing, breathwork, workshops, and retreats. My experiences with David have been nothing short of rejuvenating, healing, and soul inspiring. David is meticulous in facilitating a nurturing expansive space along with those he chooses to work with. His heart and soul are aligned in providing a supportive space and community for others to reconnect to their own innate wisdom within . He places a high value on each of us being our own healer with our own innate spiritual wisdom we can connect to at anytime. I feel my spiritual values and self sovereignty are upheld with the upmost respect in the opportunities he provides. His sound baths are nothing short of bliss and are a welcome retreat from the busy lives we all live. The weekend spiritual retreat David facilitated filled up my inner cup and helped me to realign to my most sacred values. It'a pure joy to be around like minded humans who are also on their own unique spiritual journey. The space David facilitated and provided for us to all feel accepted, loved, honored, and in-tuned was nothing short of soul satisfying. Soul Growth Network is just that... a supportive community that provides opportunities for your own soul growth.

I began coming to David's sound baths about a year and a half ago and during that time have also been to two of his retreats, a few of his Alchemy sound bath series and a few of his breathwork classes.

He is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, is incredibly supportive and creates a space for individual growth and connecting with others.
