Mindfulness Retreat for First Responders: A Training Grounded in Science and Wisdom

Welcome First Responders!

Drala Mountain Center in Colorado is collaborating with Mindful Badge to host a special
3-day residential event focused on resilience, trauma competency, and mindfulness.
This immersive, grant-supported experience includes lodging, meals, and expert
instruction. Immerse yourself in the stunning Colorado mountains while learning cutting-
edge techniques that will transform your health, humanity, and human performance.
Learn and practice resilience and growth mindset, breath work, meditation, mindbody
wellness and mindfulness skills. This event is an examination into the science and
experience of mindfulness as it relates to resilience, personal growth, and human
performance optimization. These skills provide the foundation to thrive through adversity
and the wisdom to understand strategies for recovery, pliability and striving toward
sustained post-traumatic growth.
