Learning at the Colorado School of Healing Arts places you in a massage therapy education setting rooted in Denver’s broader wellness and healing arts community. The CSHA campus is located in Lakewood, just west of downtown Denver, offering a setting that balances focused classroom learning with access to the cultural and outdoor offerings of the surrounding area.
Denver is often called the “Mile High City” and is known for its mix of urban spaces, parks, and access to outdoor recreation. During the summer months, the region hosts seasonal events and activities, including farmers markets, outdoor concerts, and festivals. Nearby attractions include the Denver Botanic Gardens, the Denver Zoo, and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, as well as an extensive network of parks and trails throughout the metro area.
Travel to the Denver area is typically via Denver International Airport. From the airport, the RTD A Line commuter train connects DEN to Union Station in approximately 37 minutes.
From Union Station, there are several transportation options to reach the Colorado School of Healing Arts campus in Lakewood. The RTD W Line light rail travels westbound toward Lakewood, with additional connection by local bus or rideshare for the final segment. RTD bus routes also connect downtown Denver with Lakewood neighborhoods. Rideshare services and taxis are widely available and provide direct point-to-point travel from Union Station to the campus.
A range of hotels are located near the Colorado School of Healing Arts campus in Lakewood, as well as in nearby Denver neighborhoods. We are currently exploring discounted lodging options for workshop participants; discounted rates are not guaranteed. Any available details will be shared with participants upon workshop registration.
