I Am Harmony Spiritual Retreat Center

Welcome to I AM Harmony, a sacred portal nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Crestone, Colorado. Your journey begins with the scent of piñon pine and juniper, the gentle music of windchimes and birdsong, and the sound of Willow Creek flowing just beyond the land. Step into a uniquely designed home filled with light, peace, and inspiration — a place where transformation unfolds naturally. High ceilings and mountain-facing windows welcome you into the main living room, complete with a full kitchen, cozy downstairs bedroom, and full bath. A stone-accented sunroom offers an additional sleeping area, while the upstairs loft includes a queen bed, fold out full bed, private bathtub, fireplace, and balcony for stargazing and reflection. A screened-in outdoor bedroom allows for deep rest cradled by nature’s embrace, and a private cottage will soon be available for solo retreats or extra guests.

The home includes five comfortable sleeping areas, two bathrooms, and a sound system for use with the meditation and spiritual DVD library. The upstairs Spiritual Library includes the I AM Discourses and Ascended Master teachings — ideal for the devoted seeker. This is an ideal setting for spiritual retreats, wellness gatherings, or solo rejuvenation. From meditation and movement to shared meals and ceremony, the space supports it all — while allowing each guest room to feel private and restful. Outside, a stunning trail nearby leads you directly to Willow Creek, offering peaceful walks beneath the open sky.

Spread across nearly two acres, the retreat grounds invite you into a self-guided healing tour. Wander through the labyrinth, sit among Meditation Rock Seats, hold a circle at the fire pits, or experience the energy of the I AM Activator Shrines, Pyramid Shrines, and Sweat Lodge. Statues of Saint Germain, Saint Michael, Jesus, and other Ascended Masters guide the way alongside sacred geometric designs and affirmations embedded throughout the gardens. Whether you're drawn to elemental connection, sacred ceremony, or quiet retreat, I AM Harmony is more than a destination — it's a transformational experience.

History:

Originally envisioned and built over 20 years ago by a spiritual elder named Kiara — now in her 90s — and supported by builders devoted to the land’s vision, I AM Harmony has deep roots in the Crestone spiritual community. Long treasured by locals and now rediscovered by a new generation, this sanctuary continues to hold space for remembrance, healing, and divine connection.
