Top of the Monday to ya!
I am extremely excited to write this post today (it’s actually Sunday right now but you won’t see it until Monday)! Contracts have been signed, sponsors have been acquired and we are ready to start moving and grooving on the 2015 Blend Retreat!! As many of you know, this year will be our FOURTH time around doing this whole healthy living blogger weekend of awesomeness and I do believe that this year might very well be our best one yet!! It is with a squeal and a jumping heel click that I tell you….our Official Sponsor is…
QUEST NUTRITION!!!
Quest bars rank high around here. We like to broil them for about 2 minutes in our little countertop broiler and then top them with some sort of nut butter. They’re packed with protein and fiber and they taste like a baked good. Quest actually won the 2014 Protein Bar of the Year Award with Bodybuilding.com and if you remember, they were our Breakfast sponsor last year in Park City. I’m just thrilled to have such a great company on board.
Speaking of other companies, we also have the following sponsorships lined up (contracts signed) with Love Grown Foods, Flapjacked, Justin’s Nut Butter, Bhakti Chai and Detour Bar!! <-click the names to learn more about these companies! We haven’t published the Official Schedule yet but we’re working on it.
Ticket Sales
Now that the cat is out of the bag, we can open ticket sales and clue you in on all the details! Here is what you need to know:
Blend Retreat 2015 will be May 15-17th in Boulder, CO at the beautiful Chautauqua Park. If you attended the first retreat, you will remember how incredible this location is. Everyone will be shacking up in cozy cabins, complete with kitchens! It really is an unbeatable venue, which is why we chose to go back to our roots and host the fourth retreat back at Chautauqua.
Tickets will go on sale this coming Sunday, January 18th at 8:00 PM EST. You will go to THIS PAGE to secure your spot!
Early bird tickets will be $125. There is a limited quantity available at this price, so be sure to snag your ticket this Sunday. This low, affordable price will get you into the retreat all weekend long. Your admission ticket includes: a cocktail hour with drinks and hors d’oeuvres, a gourmet dinner, a special sponsored dessert, two delicious breakfasts, two tasty snack breaks, a gorgeous hike on the Flat Irons, a killer boot camp session, an invigorating yoga session, exclusive product room drops to your cabins, entry to the expo room all weekend long, a Blend Retreat T-shirt, and more SWAG than you know what to do with!! Whew, I think we covered everything.. there’s seriously so much awesome stuff in store!
Lodging, as mentioned, will be in Chautauqua’s cabins. There are several different bed options, so there is sure to be something for everyone. There will be twin beds, full beds, queen beds, and pullouts. The fulls and queens are available to be shared. Pricing for lodging is incredibly affordable, ranging from $115 to $250 for the entire weekend! For more details on lodging, check out THIS PAGE.
Chautauqua does not have unlimited space like last year’s location, so this event WILL sell out. Make sure you are near your computer this Sunday, the 18th, at 8:00 PM EST to snag your spot!

QUESTION: The only question to ask: ARE YOU COMING????
splendid…lindsay
Blend was SUCH an amazing weekend last year!!! You do an incredible job planning the retreat!
thanks friend! Will you be able to come this year??
No, I won’t be able to :( Not because of the bump, but because we’ll be in MN for that week for a wedding and my brother-in-law’s graduation & reception. If we didn’t have plans already to be somewhere else I would definitely come!! I’m so sad I can’t make it.
Can’t go this year. :(
Wooohoooo! So excited!
I will be there!
That’s such awesome news…CONGRATS! Not sure if I can swing it this year, but I am definitely going to try…WAHOO!
Hi Lindsay!
Question regarding the lodging situation– do you have to share a bed if you want to pay for the queen bed cottage?
Thanks!
Brittany
If you pay for a whole queen bed, you’ll have it all to yourself but won’t be the only one in the cabin. Does that make sense? Would love for you to come!!
Makes sense!
I think we’re going to try to loop a vacation to CO with me attending Blend! Do we have to stay on the grounds of Blend? Since we’ll be on a week vacation I just don’t want to leave B hanging. I’m thinking I may stay at a hotel in Boulder with him that weekend and just head over Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning for the retreat activities. Do people do that?!
Oh man I hope so! I need to talk to you about how to get a sponsor…Don’t think I could make it happen without some help from them because of flights. Would love to just say YES! But I need to be creative too. :) Great line up of sponsors and events!
Balance Bar and I are signed on for another year and they want me to represent them at Blend again so I will be there if all works out! :)
Oh my gosh! I’m emailing you a packet now!
heck ya!!! i kinda had a feeling
yay!!!!!
Brittany, do you see that photo capturing the moment we met??????
yay back In co!!! Going to try to go this year!!
I SOOOO want to go – just gotta make it work $ wise…so getting creative – oh I am giddy with excitement!!!
