Just Breathe... I headed back into Manitou Springs for more water 💦 therapeutic energies both inside by drinking from the manganese fountains. Then visiting a soaking spa so I can experience another beautiful inclusion on my Colorado retreat style tour, crafted for the person that needs a break from everyday living. Namaste 🙏 my dears and consider coming along to Manitou Springs with me.



‘The cedar tubs are fed with mineral-rich water from the heart of Tava, the Mountain of the Sun. Experience the therapeutic practices of the Ancient Ones who lived in harmony with this sacred land. Each of our tubs offers stunning views of the breathtaking landscape that has drawn visitors here for centuries.’

PIKES PEAK ⚙️ Cog Railway 🚃 in the ❤️ of Manitou Springs is a stunning ride to the summit. This will be included in the tour retreat early spring. Your spirit will be lifted as you are carried through the Colorado forest. I promise. 🦋

This cog ⚙️ style railway is the tallest in the entire world. 14,115 feet.

Cool tidbit: in the clip of the conductor walking into the train is baby Holly from Breaking Bad. Pretty wild!!!

I worked on the daily itinerary yesterday and it’s looking so good for the culture minded traveler. It definitely has many experiences that you will not find on the local tours. I’m your travel host and we utilize local guides to give you the wonderful stories of such a beautiful place. Are we there yet?
