Joytown is our container for expansion - a living, breathing sanctuary of transformation. Nestled just outside Denver in a magical aspen grove surrounded by mountains, this is a place where we lean into presence, healing, and deep connection.

Here, we believe in the power of presence, ritual, and embodied connection, that healing is a journey not a problem to fix, and that joy and pleasure are essential parts of human wholeness. If you’re curious to explore what’s possible inside this container — to heal, open, or expand — we’d love to support you.

Here, I co-create experiences through:

  • Group Retreats

  • Intimate Journeys

  • Tantric & Energy Work

JOYTOWN

STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION

“I’ve never really identified as a spiritual person, and I hadn’t worked with Mel or Elisa before attending a retreat at Joytown. I arrived feeling like I was jumping straight into the deep end—and part of me expected to feel like a total outsider or “too normal” for something like this. But what I found was an environment that was incredibly warm, grounded, and welcoming. The group spanned all walks of life—parents, veterans, professors, people from all kinds of backgrounds—and I never once felt like I didn’t belong. Mel, E, and the team have a rare ability to make people feel seen and cared for—and they’re very possibly the most intuitive people I’ve ever met. Over the weekend, I found healing in places I didn’t expect: through connection, through laughter, through stillness. I left with more self-understanding, more softness, and a deeper sense of trust in myself. If you’re wondering whether this is for you—especially if you’ve never done anything like it—consider this your invitation. You belong.”

“I started working with Elisa and Mel less than a year ago, at my lowest point in life.  A friend referred their services to me and after a consultation, I opted for a private retreat with them.  What happened since that retreat, and in working with each of them individually in Tantra, Breathwork, and Ecstatic bodywork over the course of the past 8 months, leaves me in awe.  I truly can’t believe I am where I am today.  It is far beyond what I ever thought was possible.  I know they were a significant part of that growth and evolution, and will continue to be my “north stars”, helping me re-orient, as I navigate life.

I have referred and continue to refer friends and family to them, and unequivocally receive the same feedback…it is life-changing to sit and be guided by Elisa and Mel.  I am confident that if you choose to work with them, you will feel the same.”

“With love, devotion, and tremendous depth of care, Mel, Elisa, and the Joytown team create the safest of containers that allow participants to explore the deepest parts of themselves and encounter new trailheads to profound healing and palpable growth.

As someone coming from a high-intensity religious background, I started working with Mel in a state of substantial disconnection. The tantra and energy work we have done has truly felt like a coming home to myself. Not just to my body, my feelings, and my sexuality, but also in my relationships, and in my capacity to more deeply experience life.

Mel and Elisa exude warmth and attunement as space holders and companions into the depths. I've never experienced anything quite like the magic that consistently unfolds in the fields they craft, and I've never felt so safe leaning into such transformational and life-giving work.”
