4Winds Farm — Glenwood Springs, United States

A private, women-only trauma recovery and retreat campus in the Colorado Rockies

On a Friday evening in November, women gather at 4Winds Farm for a cacao ceremony. The next morning they sit down to string prayer beads for The Sacred Voice of Women, a growing community art installation that carries the hopes, prayers, and intentions of its makers. Archery and an organic lunch follow. Artist and Creative Healing Consultant Tara Evonne Trudell leads the weekend. It carries no registration fee, is open to the public, and accepts donations. The weekend is one doorway into a campus whose core work is clinical. 4Winds is a private, women-only healing campus on 134 secluded acres in the Colorado Rockies, near Glenwood Springs. It is built for what its pages call high-functioning women: those who lead, care for others, and keep life moving while carrying trauma underneath. The central program is residential, generally 30 to 90 days, in a confidential setting with a structured daily rhythm. The pages describe a model in which science and spirit work together. Care may include licensed individual psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, nervous system regulation, Jungian-informed shadow exploration, breathwork, group integration work, and equine-assisted experiences. Psychedelic-assisted therapy may be considered where clinically appropriate and legally permitted. The land is part of the method, with mountains, open ground, and quiet spaces meant to help the nervous system slow down. Shorter formats run in small cohorts. They include emotional healing retreats, weekend retreats, week-long intensives, and a ritual-informed grief retreat called The Wild Side of Grief & Loss. 4Winds states plainly what it is not. It does not treat substance use disorders, acute psychiatric crises, or medical conditions, and it is not a substitute for emergency care. Admissions begin with a confidential consultation.
