At Open Sky, we realize the dramatic impact that a child’s behavior can have on the family system. Our once-monthly Wellness Weekends are geared completely towards offering parents a rejuvenating experience and time to focus on themselves. The purpose of the Wellness Weekend is to help you re-prioritize yourself, reconnect to those things that bring you joy, and re-establish homeostasis in your relationships. Our hope too is that the weekend will assist you in releasing the trauma of the past several months (or years) by coming together with other parents in a non-judgmental space to share stories and time together.

With the help of the Open Sky team parents can look forward to weekend activities including yoga, hiking, meditation, process groups, and delicious meals made with delicious whole foods. Focusing on the core elements of well-being-- body, mind, heart and soul - parents can experience some of the activities their children experience at Open Sky. By developing a greater understanding of your own process you can truly facilitate healing on all levels.

The typical Weekend schedule is: Fridays 6-9pm, Saturday 9-5pm, and Sunday 9-12pm. We leave extra time open on Friday and Sunday for optional treatment sessions such as massage, therapeutic hot springs or acupuncture. If you are interested in experiencing body work while you are here, please mention that to the Wellness Director when you RSVP; she will be happy to assist you. There is no additional cost for two people to attend the weekend (parents cover the costs of travel to and lodging in Durango). It costs $200 per person for each additional person who would like to attend.
