ART and Wellness in Breckenridge
Immerse your and your partner’s selves in creative discovery while connecting to each other and nature with Breck Create’s first ever Art + Wellness Retreat. Spend a long weekend September 4th through 7th discovering the joys of watercolor painting with Timothy James Standring, an accomplished watercolor painter and museum curator, whose notable exhibitions include Becoming Van Gogh at the Denver Art Museum. Your wellness journey will include restorative and flow yoga as well as sound meditation. Plant-based breakfasts and lunches prepared by a local chef will nourish your body, while the days’ activities and the burgeoning fall landscape will nourish your soul.
If your idea of a perfect date includes pampering, perhaps a couples spa date is in order. There are several spas in Breckenridge, but a few of our favorites are Blue Sage Spa on Main Street, Soothe Spa at the Grand Lodge, Infinity Spa on Peak Eight and either of the two locations of Alpine Day Spa. You also can find inner peace with a yoga session at Meta Yoga Studios. For an herbal apothecary experience, check out Ambika Herbals and Massage. These serene encounters will rejuvenate both body and spirit, leaving you refreshed and closer than ever.
Most Romantic Scenic Spots in Breckenridge
This summer, Breck Create offers two opportunities for you and your partner to deepen your connection beneath the grandness of the night sky. As part of the Breckenridge International Festival of Arts (BIFA), Breck Create will offer Astrophotography on Boreas Pass and a Stargazing Tour on Boreas Pass. Boreas Pass, situated within the Continental Divide, is one of Colorado’s most iconic locations.
During the day, explore Breckenridge’s unrivaled beauty hand in hand. Take a scenic gondola or chairlift ride (hours of operation vary depending on the season) for breathtaking views, or for an easy hike, wander over to the Breckenridge Troll. Weather-permitting, you might want to check out Sapphire Point Overlook (also an excellent location for stargazing), McCullough Gulch, Sawmill Reservoir, Hoosier Pass or the Blue River Bikeway. Be sure to check trail and road conditions before venturing out.
