Ranch life in the desert 🌵

An 1880’s cattle ranch to spiritual retreat…

I love the combination of old wagon wheel, rustic wooden sign with solar panel lighting source on top. Preservation meets innovation meets transformation.

A good mantra for supporting a well nourished spirit.

Our retreat is a step back from current life pace, offering a rugged and picturesque expanse to breathe, stretch, and soul search. Many of you inquire about my annual trek west for yoga. What do you do for 5 days? On a remote ranch in Oracle, AZ?

For starters…unwind.

It’s less about yoga and more about the breath and quiet. But also laughter and creativity, reunion with old friends and making new ones. Experiencing this peaceful setting of the American Southwest against the backdrop of the Catalina Mountain range. There is sunrise yoga and expansive afternoon yoga, morning workshop activities and evening art projects. In between, free time to hike around the ranch, journal, read, nap 😴.

A stand of Saguaro soldiers…

Southern girl happy 😃 ….cheese grits 😋

Quiet 🤫 time is observed from 9:30 at night until 10:30 am workshop. Wonderful for self reflection and spending time alone, you doing you. How often do we ever spend time silent and still, giving God a chance to speak in divine whispers to the heart and soul?

A new day is on the rise….

I’m listening with intention…..

Namaste 🙏❤️ peeps!
