Location

Nestled against the backdrop of Colorado Springs, our retreat property is a beautiful modern mountain venue that perfectly reflects the spirit of Laid Bare. Rustic without feeling rough. Contemporary without feeling cold. It's a place designed for conversation, creativity, and slowing down long enough to reconnect with why you fell in love with photography in the first place.

Inside you'll find warm gathering spaces, comfortable accommodations, and dedicated creative environments where ideas can move naturally from discussion to completion. Whether you're sharing coffee before sunrise, reviewing images with fellow artists, or winding down after a full day of shooting, the property invites connection without ever feeling crowded or rushed.

Just beyond the doors, Colorado does what Colorado does best. Crisp mountain air, expansive skies, golden autumn landscapes, and the kind of scenery that quietly reminds you to breathe.

This isn't a convention center. It isn't a hotel ballroom.

It's a place that feels personal. And that's exactly why we chose it.

For those wishing to stay on-site, a limited number of guest rooms are available directly through our host, Lea Flores. Staying on the property offers the convenience of walking from your room to every part of the retreat while enjoying the full atmosphere from morning coffee to late-night conversations. (For information about booking a room on-site, contact us.)

Because on-site lodging is limited, we'll also provide recommendations for several nearby hotels, giving everyone flexible options regardless of where they choose to stay.

Wherever you stay the nights, you'll spend your days immersed in an incredible long weekend of education, creativity, community, and inspiration.
