USAAbout this retreat
Why this retreat
This three-day camping and bodywork retreat in Florissant, Colorado invites anyone seeking a restorative break in the Rocky Mountains to reset their body and mind through guided somatic practice beside a quiet alpine lake. The setting does much of the work. Tents go up near the water, where mountain air and natural silence create the kind of environment that makes slowing down feel instinctive rather than forced. It is camping stripped of performance — comfortable enough to rest, simple enough to stay present. At the core of the program is Breema, a bodywork system built on what its practitioners call the Nine Principles of Harmony. Through partnered exchanges and solo self-care sequences, participants explore how to bring their physical, mental, and emotional selves into greater alignment. The work is practical rather than abstract. Each session offers tools you can take home — ways to move, breathe, and relate to yourself that build resilience over time. The focus is on increasing vitality and approaching daily life with more openness and enthusiasm, not on quick fixes. Group sizes stay intimate, which matters because much of the learning happens through giving and receiving bodywork with fellow participants. No prior experience with Breema is needed; the atmosphere is deliberately welcoming and unhurried. For travelers browsing wellness retreats in Colorado, this weekend offers a rare combination: genuine outdoor simplicity, a coherent somatic methodology, and a small-community feel that makes the practice accessible. It suits anyone curious about bodywork who also wants the grounding that comes from sleeping under mountain stars.

Meet the team
Jon Schreiber, D. C., director of the Breema Center and Breema Clinic in Oakland, California, has been teaching Breema in the U.S. and internationally since 1980. He has presented Breema at medical, psychology, bodywork, exercise, holistic health, and personal growth conferences. His numerous articles and books focus on the universal and practical philosophy of Breema. In his clinical practice, Dr. Schreiber uses Breema, Self-Breema, and the Nine Principles of Harmony to help patients discover the real meaning of health.
I am a Family Physician, and have been a Breema Practitioner and Instructor for over 25 years. I have found Breema's non-judgmental atmosphere to be invaluable in working with any health condition. I am consistently amazed at the effect of Breema bodywork, Self-Breema exercises, and the Nine Principles of Harmony in increasing vitality, addressing acute concerns, and offering new templates for relating to body, mind, and feelings. I began working as a Practitioner at the Breema Clinic in 2002, and since 2017 have offered Breema bodywork at the Clinic in conjunction with Integrative Family Medicine. I instruct Breema workshops for doctors, healers and other groups internationally. I have clinic hours at the Breema Clinic in Oakland and Hummingbird Valley Retreat Center in Santa Cruz, California.
Kevin is a Breema and Self Breema instructor, and has been studying Breema for over 20 years. After searching for years, and trying other mind-body practices, he discovered Breema. The mutual support from other Breema practitioners has benefited him greatly on his path of self-understanding.
