Eleven Launches New Winter Wellness Retreats In Colorado And Iceland
Live Well Retreats at Taylor River Lodge and Deplar Farm to offer four days of adventure-infused, place-based wellness experiences
Colorado and Iceland, September 2022 – Eleven, known for curating authentic, life-changing experiences in the most remarkable corners of the world, is launching new annual Live Well Retreats this winter at Taylor River Lodge in Almont, Colorado January 5th-8th and Deplar Farm in Northern Iceland January 19th-22nd. Framed by the inspiring landscapes of Iceland’s ethereal terrain and Colorado’s enchanting wilderness, these secluded destinations set the scene for a transformative experience marked by wellness-focused adventures, mindful nature practices, and cutting-edge spa therapies.
“The debut of the Live Well Retreats is a long-awaited invitation to step fully into our world of wellness,” says Caith Norton, Director of Wellness at Eleven. “Years ago, when we began contemplating how to breathe life into the Eleven Life concept, we realized: What better place and time to turn inward than our far-flung lodges during the depths of winter? With arguably the most sublime slices of Colorado and Iceland as our backdrop, we began to craft this wildly immersive, totally unprecedented wellness experience—one that’s as adventurous as it is restorative, as ground-breaking as it is timeless, as natural as it is indulgent, and as externally inspiring as it is internally transformative.”
The Live Well Retreats, conceived by Eleven’s own wellness program ‘Eleven Life’, were designed to guide a small group of like-minded guests to cultivate a new type of wellbeing realized through Eleven Life’s four pillars—Move, Breathe, Nourish, and Connect—in tandem with self-discovery though connection to the elements.
Itinerary highlights at Deplar Farm include a contrast-therapy Viking Sauna ritual, self-led time in a state-of-the-art spa, a mindful horseback riding excursion, and sea-to-table dinners followed by an evening soak in the geothermally heated outdoor pool. In Colorado, Taylor River Lodge invites guests to engage in a guided ‘forest bathing’ meditation, swim in saltwater pools within a window-clad Bath House, embark on a mindful cross country skiing adventure, and participate in a functional cooking and mocktail class focused on wholistic nutrition. Both retreats feature a selection of climate-customized treatments using Tata Harper’s 100% natural skincare, as well as morning and evening breathwork sessions, thermal therapy practices, and dispersed, chef-prepared après.
