HEART OF DEVOTION – Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, 

December 5-10 and 12-17,  2019

A year-end restorative retreat in the same landscape which inspired  iconic artist Georgia O’Keeffe. With Heart of Devotion, three powerful facilitators have joined forces to create an experiential immersion into the sacred art of Becoming.

As Rumi famously wrote, “This being human is a guest house – every morning a new arrival.” Sometimes we need spiritual tools and allies  in order to meet the “new arrival” of a challenge or season of living. The Heart of Devotion spiritual retreat is for those seeking to navigate major life changes. This retreat is designed to be the safe and healing container required for contemplation, connection, radical self-care and the realization of your own “true north”

·       Silent Group Meditation

·       Devotional Voice 

·       Communal living experience

·       Yoga

·       Outdoor activities on the Ranch

·       Free time to rest, relax, create

The Heart of Devotion Retreat provides a curated environment designed to heighten awareness and conscious connection through your own deep listening and embodiment. Our program addresses body, mind and spirit through periods of silent meditation, devotional voice, daily yoga, community living, fun, celebration, and outdoor activity. The Heart of Devotion is where we “polish the mirror” with shared community experiences. Participants will share the historic retreat house of Casa del Sol on Ghost Ranch, preparing delicious meals  and eating together family-style. These shared daily experiences create an intimacy and dynamic connection we find so powerful in retreat.

Participants will also find themselves shedding layers and discovering deep wells of peace and healing within as they spend time each day resting, meditating, chanting, doing yoga, nurturing body and soul with fresh organic gourmet plant-based meals and the stunning  landscape of northern New Mexico.  There is space for 14 participants…
