Workshops and Retreats for Activists

Ecodharma programs use the healing powers of meditation in nature to transform activism into a spiritual path of service to the earth and all beings.

Silent Meditation Retreats

For local and national Sanghas, especially those offered in the spirit of generosity, with teachers receiving only expenses and donations (Dana).

Retreats for Under-served Communities

We encourage retreats that include people of color, veterans, youth, and other groups which have and continue to bear the brunt of ecological and socio-economic devastation, and are often at the forefront of spiritually rooted activism.

What is Ecodharma?

“For me in this dark time, Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center is a shining beacon. It offers what we most need: the inspired leadership of committed teachers, a wild mountain setting to awaken our own power and beauty, the ripening of a Sangha to grow a guiding vision for our people, and the strength to make it real.”   

— Joanna Macy, Ph.D. Buddhist Teacher, Activist, and Founder, The Work That Reconnects Network

At RMERC, we bring Buddhism and Dharma back into the natural world where they originated, and in doing so, regain the connection and energy necessary to effectively address ecological and related social crises. We call all of this Ecodharma.

Ecodharma practices help us develop clarity, compassion, and courage, which are all needed to face humanity’s greatest challenge ever: the ecological crisis.

Ecodharma Retreat Center

In a Spectacular Setting

The center is on 180 acres of private river, meadow and woodland, adjacent to National Forest and just a few miles from the Indian Peaks Wilderness. The land is set aside as a nature preserve and is home to an abundance of wildlife, including deer, elk, moose, bear and beaver.  

The lodge provides comfortable year-round housing for up to 30 people. Camping is available.
