A place this beautiful deserves a little wandering.
In northern New Mexico, where red and yellow cliffs rise beneath enormous skies, Ghost Ranch gives Desert Divinations a setting as expansive as the questions we’re here to explore.
The 21,000-acre retreat and education center sits in the high desert near Abiquiú, about 65 miles northwest of Santa Fe. Its landscape has inspired artists, adventurers, seekers, and scientists for generations—and was famously captured by Georgia O’Keeffe in paintings that helped make this corner of New Mexico iconic.
But you don’t have to know anything about Ghost Ranch to feel its pull.
There are trails to wander, wide-open spaces to sit with, skies that seem to go on forever, and enough quiet to hear your own thoughts again. The Ranch itself brings together natural beauty, art, science, history, and spirituality—a fitting backdrop for a retreat built around curiosity and connection.
And then there’s the simple pleasure of being somewhere that feels very, very far away from ordinary life.
The Landscape
Ghost Ranch sits in an arid high-desert environment at roughly 6,500 feet elevation. Expect dramatic light, intense sun, cool evenings, and a landscape that changes with the weather and the hour.
Come ready to wander outside. And definitely bring layers.
Your Home Base
During Desert Divinations, Ghost Ranch becomes your home base for four days of exploration, connection, and play.
We’ll give you everything you need to prepare—and leave plenty of room for you to rest when you arrive. And to protect your rest, quiet hours are from 10pm–7am.
