LOGISTICS, TRAVEL & LODGING:
Each group is limited to 10 people. We meet in one of the most beautiful international destinations: New Mexico. Our opening and closing council fires and day to day dialogue circles convene on Paseo del Ojo, midway between Santa Fe and Taos. The land here is known for its beauty and power, the depth of its silence and its expansiveness. Our time on the land will be a primary thread in our work together. Each of the seasons brings us its unique and rich questions and alchemical energies.
The virtual sessions will be in the comfort of your home and Places in your local environment that you will choose.
Arrival and departure dates and times vary with the seasons and years. CALENDAR
