A Healing Refuge in the Colorful Rocky Mountains
In the summer, the Colorado Rocky Mountains offer wide open views, clear blue skies, and a landscape full of color. Green forests, wildflower-filled meadows, and mountain streams create a refreshing setting that feels both peaceful and energizing. Warm days and cool evenings make it an ideal place for hiking, relaxing outdoors, and enjoying the natural beauty at a slower pace. The mountains provide a simple, grounding backdrop that invites visitors to breathe deeply, unwind, and enjoy being outside.
Relax in the unique Mountain House, a private home set in the aspen grove outside of Silverthorne, Colorado. Sit by the fireplace on the porch and read, or drink coffee (or wine) in the mountain air. Everyone will be able to find solace in private spaces, or join in the many group gatherings or conversations.
Combined with the Paisley Project community support, activities, and healthy, prepared cuisine, this retreat in the Rocky Mountains is an immersive experience that nurtures both the body and the soul, offering a sanctuary for healing, growth, and transformation.

Why L.I.V.E. Intensive Experiences are Magical
Quality time with community and nature is more than a vacation or a luxury — it's what humans need to heal, survive, and thrive.
Science has substantiated the profound role of community, nature experiences, and restorative retreats in aiding the healing process after loss.
Social support from communities, friends, or support groups fosters emotional connection, diminishing feelings of isolation and invoking the release of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters.
Nature experiences offer therapeutic benefits, reducing stress and depression by harnessing our innate affinity for the natural world, promoting introspection and emotional solace. Restorative retreats, whether nature-based or centered on therapeutic activities, provide dedicated time for healing, allowing participants to temporarily disengage from daily demands, fostering relaxation, self-awareness, and communal support.
Research affirms that all of these factors, combined, contribute significantly to a comprehensive healing journey for those grappling with loss—in this case, specifically for women are coping with the loss of their spouse.
