To continue serving as a vital community hub, Beyul Retreat at the historic Diamond J Ranch needs your support to establish a permanent gathering space for its guests. This is not just about preserving a place—it’s about championing the values that make the Roaring Fork Valley special: creativity, collaboration, and connection to nature.

As you know from attending retreats at Beyul, there is currently a tent that serves as the meeting space for classes, workshops, talks, and other retreat sessions. On March 12th, the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners will meet again to decide whether to approve Beyul's request to formalize the square footage and designated use of this gathering space. This tent is planned to be replaced with a building in the future.

Without a space that everyone at the retreat center can gather together, the future of Beyul Retreat at risk. It is hard to see how Beyul can continue to achieve its mission without this space. 

Join us in standing behind Beyul Retreat—where inspiration thrives and community grows.

The Roaring Fork Valley has long been a place of natural beauty, artistic expression, and meaningful connection. Yet, as the area increasingly caters to luxury tourism, the heart and soul of "old" Aspen—its creative, artsy locals and their vibrant community hubs—risk being overshadowed.

Beyul Retreat at the Diamond J Ranch is a beacon of that cherished old Aspen spirit. Nestled in the Frying Pan Valley, Beyul offers a space for art, creativity, and intentionally designed gatherings that nourish the mind, body, and spirit. From artist residencies and wellness retreats to community events and local weddings that inspire and connect, Beyul has become a sanctuary for those seeking an authentic, enriching experience.

Please make sure to update your zip code, so we can show the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners the Roaring Fork Valley Local Support!
