Introduction to Rockmirth

At Rockmirth, you will find a beautiful, rural and rustic retreat, on 111 ponderosa pined acres. Rockmirth is unique; we are on the east face of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains – where the Rockies meet the Plains - nestled in the palm of a canyon among the Strike Valleys; Rockmirth begins at an altitude of 7500 ft and the top of the ridge is 8200.

We have a 4-wheel drive accessible road to the ridgeline, and an infinite number of gorgeous hikable spots to magic vistas, rock formations, Aspen-filled watersheds, oak groves, and maybe secret, inspiring sites only you will discover!

In our fresh mountain-airy summer, you will be treated to our verdant color-extravagant gardens, swallowtail butterflies, and carousing hummingbirds. June is our hottest season; July and August tend to warm and sunny, 80’s or so, with afternoon showers and rainbows during monsoon season. Evenings are cool, requiring jackets and we sleep in cool mountain air year round.

Enjoy the delicious fragrance of wild roses in the spring, meadows lush with wildflowers in the fall…

birdsong by day and incredibly clear starry skies by night in every season. Rockmirth is blessed to be in a dark-sky area, our views of the constellations and planets are stunning!

Our drinking water is scrumptious from the tap: mountain-high elixir! And the air as well. Rockmirth affords the opportunity to do your work in the peace, quiet and sanctuary of a very special place.
We are haven to a splendidly diverse population of animals and birds; a refuge of peace with deep, ecological connections, animate and alive, an enduring nest for creativity. Work and joy, silence and community-based creative productivity go hand in hand here.


Our Mission

Rockmirth Eco-Arts Abode is dedicated to honoring and sustaining this forested canyon of inspiring, heartful, beauty and peace, a sanctuary both wild and domestic, to providing enlivening spaces that allow and foster creativity and imagination in all mediums to flourish, blossom and bloom forth, and to create and co-create human, wild, natural, and floral companionships that befriend each other and protect each other’s solitude, that beauty in many forms may be made and cherished here.
