Two_Black_Bronze_Spot_01AT

This retreat is body-led and body-based.

We will listen to what we need, follow those needs, and ask for help when we need it.

🐾  Our time will include hikes on the land, somatic practices (Jaguar style), dancing, yin yoga, session work/demos, circle time, deep rest, and meaningful connection

There will be mystery.

🐆 Be with us in a heated yurt to shed some layers and build others of protection and safety.

We will connect to the ineffable and let the raw and powerful High Desert work on us while we hold each other.

This is a space for true deepening, so that we can go beyond what we are able to do online or on our own, to forge and strengthen relationships within ourselves and to each other with greater maturity.

We will connect, unwind, and replenish in the winter time.

Come get wild.

I went to Ghost Ranch seeking something I didn't quite have the words for. I was unsure of my footing and unsure for reasons that didn't make much sense. It was uncomfortable, even unfamiliar, and I judged myself and the space I was in. Within the course of several days, I came ALIVE. Being led in community with amazingly present, conscious, open, and life-minded women shifted something profound within me – something I couldn't achieve on my own at this time, no matter how hard I tried. The magic wasn't in the words – it was in the body. Allowing my body to expand, to listen to subtle invitations, and to be guided into deep practice was exactly what I needed to COME ALIVE once agin.

I attended the Ghost ranch retreat at 30 weeks pregnant and it was the exact container I needed to get more presence, power and clarity for the road ahead. Kimberly creates such a powerful, safe space and draws absolutely inspirational women from all over the world- making the community circle one to marvel at and cherish for years to come. The land of Ghost Ranch is raw and powerful- you can feel ancient wisdom in the rock all around you. I feel deeply grateful for the ways Kimberly guided us all deeper into our bodies, our inner knowing, and our beautiful connection as women and sisters. It is so rad to see women healing in the most ferocious of ways, all together. I can’t wait to return to this holy place for the next retreat!

I have returned many times to the growling and boundary work that we all did together. I learned a lot about witnessing. The biggest thing was the caliber of all the amazing women present. It was special to be in a group where we could dredge through some really intense emotional times, and everybody was able to contain themselves and regulate together and as individuals. It was quite beautiful.

Held by the land. Held by the circle of those gathered. Held by women's hands... To drop deep into the visceral impulse of what the Mystery desires to bring forth through me and us in service to healing the whole.
