Seasonal Group Spiritual Healing Retreats
Colorado & New Mexico | May – September
Mountain Spirit Medicine for the Soul is a seasonal spiritual healing retreat series that combines Shamanic Energy Healing, ceremony, and nature-based practices rooted in the Q'ero lineage of Peru to support emotional release, personal transformation, and deep renewal. Led by initiated shamans John Whitehorse and Kristen White, these small-group retreats take place in the Rocky Mountains, Crestone, Colorado, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Each retreat offers a sacred opportunity to step away from daily life, reconnect with your inner self, and experience healing in powerful natural landscapes.
The Mountains Are Calling Your Spirit
There are moments when your soul asks for something different.
Not more noise.
Not more effort.
But space.
Space to breathe.
Space to feel.
Space to remember who you are beneath everything you've been carrying.
In the mountains… in the desert… in the stillness of sacred land…
Something opens.
Your body softens.
Your mind quiets.
Your spirit begins to speak again.
This is where healing begins.
A Sacred Retreat Experience Held in Intention
Held in intention.
Mountain Spirit Medicine for the Soul retreats are designed as intimate group experiences, limited to just 25 participants, allowing for both connection and personal space.
You are held in a shared container—
but never lost in it.
There is no pressure.
No performance.
No need to compete for time or attention.
Instead, you are given:
- Space to process
- Time to integrate
- Support to go deeper
Guided by Two Initiated Shamans
These retreats are led by Shaman John Whitehorse and Kristen White, both initiated in the Q'ero lineage of the Andes and trained in ancient traditions of energy medicine, ceremony, and soul healing.
Together, they hold a powerful and balanced field—supporting your journey through both:
- Deep energetic release
- Grounded awareness and integration
You are not guided from one perspective alone, but held within a shared field of wisdom, presence, and intuitive guidance.
Retreat Format

🌄 Rocky Mountain Spiritual Healing Retreat
Estes Park, Colorado | Rocky Mountain National Park
High in the Rocky Mountains, where the air is thin and the sky stretches endlessly, there is a feeling of expansion that naturally lifts you out of the weight of everyday life.
Rocky Mountain National Park has long been a place of renewal, solitude, and perspective, where the vastness of nature reminds you how much space truly exists within you.
Here, surrounded by towering peaks, alpine forests, and open sky, your nervous system begins to reset. The intensity of your thoughts softens, and what once felt overwhelming begins to feel manageable again.
This retreat is especially powerful for:
- Letting go of stress and mental overwhelm
- Gaining clarity and perspective
- Reconnecting with strength, direction, and purpose
Dates: TBD (May–September)

The energy of Crestone invites you inward.
Into stillness.
Into truth.
Into the deeper layers of your being.

to listen…
to be present with what is.

A Different Kind of Group Retreat
If you've attended retreats before, you may have experienced:
- Crowded spaces
- Limited time for your own process
- Feeling like you only touched the surface
This experience is intentionally different.
While held in a group, these retreats are designed to give you:
- Space within the experience
- Time for your own process
- A grounded, respectful environment
Limited Seasonal Availability
These retreats are offered May through September, with a limited number of participants at each location.
Only a select number of individuals are welcomed into each retreat to preserve the depth and integrity of the experience.
The Land Is Calling
You don't need to force clarity.
You don't need to push for answers.
Sometimes… you just need to step away long enough to hear yourself again.
The mountains are calling.
The desert is waiting.
And your spirit already knows the way.
What Group Retreat Attendees Have Shared
Real experiences from those who have stepped away, reset, and returned to themselves.
"I was a little hesitant about a group retreat, but the size made all the difference. It felt intimate, not overwhelming. I had space for my own experience while still feeling supported. It was the perfect introduction to this kind of work."
"Being in the Rocky Mountains was something I can't fully put into words. The air, the space, the quiet - it felt like everything in me could finally exhale. The setting alone started the healing before we even began."
"I stayed in one of the cabins and spent time just sitting outside, taking it all in. No distractions, no pressure. It gave me a kind of reset I didn't realize I needed. Simple, peaceful, and deeply nourishing."
"Crestone has a presence to it. You can feel it as soon as you arrive. There's a stillness, a kind of high vibration that naturally pulls you inward. The work we did there felt deeper because of the land itself."
"Santa Fe surprised me. The land, the history, the quiet beauty just outside the small towns - it felt sacred without trying to be. I left feeling grounded, clear, and more connected to myself than I had in years."
"This was my first experience with shamanic work, and I couldn't have asked for a better setting. Being outdoors, moving between nature and ceremony, made it feel natural and accessible - not overwhelming. It opened something in me I want to keep exploring."
