Upcoming Virtual and In Person Events

The long summer is tapering off and we are thrilled to be taking a small step towards a new rhythm. It's been decades since the ranch was in such a summer slumber; the usual bustle of new and old friends congregating at the dining hall, children galloping through the alfalfa field and the blessed music from the chorale echoing from the Agape Center have been sorely missed. It's been decidedly different here at the ranch, but we've used this time to make proverbial lemonade from Covid lemons. For those who can't make it to the ranch, we've created online opportunities. For New Mexicans, we are slowly and carefully offering retreats, starting with four workshops in September. Bonus: Single Occupancy rooms will be provided with no additional upgrade fee.

VIRTUAL EVENTS FOR ALL

Like the winnowing of grain, what no longer serves us is falling away and what is most alive is rising and breaking through. CLICK TO REGISTER

UPCOMING RETREATS FOR NEW MEXICANS SATURDAY, SEPT. 12 - FRIDAY, SEPT. 18 After weeks of sprucing up, regrouping and certifying our employees on Covid-safe practices, we are excited to offer Master's Week. The week of advanced-level workshops instructed by master teachers looks different this year. We've pared down the offerings to four workshops, which are listed below. All instructors are New Mexicans. We'll take advantage of our space and practice socially distanced instruction at all times. Workshops will have lower capacities and masks are required. All rooms are single-occupancy - and there is no upgrade fee. We'll do everything possible to keep our visitors and employees safe, all while offering expert instruction and inspiring landscapes. Currently, these four workshops are open only to New Mexico residents and out-of-state visitors who have quarantined for 14 days. Should Governor Lujan Grisham lift current health orders, these workshops will be open to everyone.
