ZEN IN THE BLUE FLAME
A Seven Day Winter Retreat
at The Royal Teton Ranch
Welcome to Zen in the Blue Flame, a winter retreat hosted by The Summit Lighthouse at the Royal Teton Ranch, also called the Inner Retreat.  At this retreat, guests will have the opportunity for striving and stillness with a focus on the blue flame divine energy hidden within you. Here you can expand your physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental awareness while grounding in your true inner being.
What is the Blue Flame?
The Blue Flame within you and the blue ray of God’s consciousness is Faith, Power, Fortitude, and Will, in alignment with the Will of God and your own Higher Self. The Ascended Masters, angels and cosmic beings of this ray embody the heroism and Vajra energy of the Divine. 
In this retreat you can:
Become more of your own inner hero.
Learn about the past lives of Blue Ray Masters.
Explore the power of the Science of the Spoken Word®.
Master your mind through meditation.
Stretch your limits and find peace in the silence and alignment of Martial Arts classes.
Expand your comfort zone with winter hikes, outdoor adventures, and plunges into the cold pool of the Yellowstone Hot Springs Resort. 
Awaken your own sense of the Tao.
Discover your own heroic heart and the “I AM the Guard” consciousness with foundational training sessions in situational awareness and self-defense.
Relax and recover in the wonderful, natural mineral hot springs.
DURING THIS RETREAT, YOU WILL ENJOY:
Morning mantras and affirmations, afternoon meditations and martial arts classes, hikes in the Rocky Mountain snow, and relaxing soaks in our natural mineral hot springs cradled in the mountains of Paradise Valley.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this Retreat for me?
This retreat is for individuals who feel a call to strengthen their inner power, experience new spiritual teachings, and are ready to challenge themselves to grow spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. If you want to grow beyond your limits and create connections with like-minded people, then we welcome you to attend and enjoy this wonderful retreat in the wintery Rocky Mountains.
What if I want to attend a retreat but cannot pay the full amount up front?
We advise waiting until you have the capacity to pay the full amount at registration. We have more retreats coming, you have time to save up! We don’t want you to be in a situation where you have taken on a charge that will cause hardship. We look forward to having you join us!
What is your cancellation policy?
We offer a full refund up to 5 days before the start date of the retreat. 
Is this a religious retreat?
Excellent question, spirituality is very different from religious dogma. This is a spiritual retreat based on the teachings of the Ascended Masters as presented by Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, derived from the mystical teachings of the world religions.

Belief in these teachings is not a requirement to attend this retreat. We invite you to participate and explore the teachings of the ascended masters and we look forward to your questions, your thoughts and hearing of your experiences as we focus on the authentic self and the dynamism of the blue ray.

We respectfully ask that you maintain an open mind during this retreat and show consideration for others seeking the same experience.
Are meals provided during this retreat?
Healthy meals and snacks are included in the retreat cost, and you are welcome to bring additional snacks of your preference. The airport shuttle will stop by a local, natural grocery store on our way to the Inner Retreat so you may pick up snacks or nutritional supplements like vitamins you may need. Please remember to pack any prescription medication you require.
Are meals available for individuals who have specific dietary restrictions? 
We can provide for guests who prefer a vegetarian diet or have minor gluten/nut allergies by preparing meals without those ingredients. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment due to the risk of cross contamination, despite using clean utensils and equipment. For those with severe food allergies, we regret that we are unable to provide specialized meal preparation. Our kitchen staff works hard to provide delicious, hearty meals that we think you will enjoy!
Can we bring alcohol?
During this retreat, we strive to maintain a high level of discipline and focus on personal growth, learning, and self-improvement. We do not allow the use of alcohol or any other form of intoxicants. This is a time and place for delving deeper into oneself and facing challenges. If you need support, our mentors are available to offer guidance and understanding. Please keep in mind that a retreat here is not a typical vacation and we hope you will find physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional growth. Before deciding to participate, we encourage you to consider whether this type of experience aligns with your goals. 
Are towels provided?
The rooms provided have towels for your use during your stay. The lovely folks at Yellowstone Hot Springs Resort have towels available for rent, but you may of course bring your own!
Do we have to share a bathroom?
Each room has its own private bathroom, you would only need to share a bathroom if there is another person also assigned to the room. Room assignments depend on the number of people attending the retreat.
