The first time Kris and I ever experienced the Jefferson area of South Park County we both felt something undeniable. Honestly, the *sparkling* snow covered valley view from the top of Kenosha Pass had us before we even stepped foot on the land. This place is magical. We were lovestruck and knew we needed/wanted to be here. To do what, we had no idea, but something was put into motion that day.
Several years passed, and amidst a fantasy brewing, suddenly South Park showed up once more. We had been daydreaming about investing with close friends and family in a space for retreats. Lovers of our own retreat community, we’d noticed a trend. The usual-rearrange-the-living-room-ceremony before the ceremony is one most of us are familiar with. Hosts have a challenge to find a space big enough to accommodate 20+ people AND the retreat. When we walked into Freebird’s gathering space, we knew we’d found the gem tucked into this beautiful mountain valley.
We spent last summer furnishing and preening our beautiful nest with our four kids and niece playing hide and seek and building teepees on the land. Can I gush and say that it was and has been the most fortunate and unbelievable experience that I never saw coming!? We are literally creating our playground, our own sleep away camp with our favorite people. We seriously can’t believe our luck.
We have an intense love for this space and the land she’s built upon. And I will be very honest, it was hard for me to begin sharing this beautiful gift with others. Like a newborn you are anxious for anyone else to hold. But Freebird was built for our community, to gather and connect; she is too special not to share. Freebird is our offering woven with the intention that all who visit leave lighter and take that light out into the world.
So it is such an honor that you are here, on this adventure with us. It has been so gratifying to watch our community experience Freebird and her magic in the retreats we’ve had the honor to host during this opening phase. We are so excited that so many are ready to host their own retreats here and begin building this legacy with us.
With much gratitude,
💚Christina
