RETREAT: MAGICAL PLAY IN SANTA FE
An all-inclusive retreat at Rancho Gallina Retreat Center, Santa Fe, NM
led by Dr. Joey Paynter and Jennifer Lothrigel
May 29 - June 1, 2025
If you believe in magic and want to reunite with your most magical self, come play with us.
If you have been stuck in the same patterns and want to let loose, come play with us.
If you want to tend to your innermost self through art, divination, and time in nature, come play with us.
In the beautiful high desert landscape of Santa Fe we will dive into our inner longings for a more joyful and creative life. We will remember our natural way of being who we are, returning to a more organic, expressive, playful and magical state of being.
Please join us for an immersive 4 day retreat at the historic eco-friendly Rancho Gallina Retreat Center.
This sacred gathering will be a time for us to heal, nurture our souls, create from our inner artist, and feel renewed from the inside out through art making, ritual, divination, creative play and community.
Rancho Gallina is an eco-retreat in a tranquil setting. Surrounded by working ranches and public lands, it is the perfect getaway for those seeking sun and solitude. We will enjoy nourishing farm to table meals, plenty of space to create, go within, and time in nature. Easily accessible from both Santa Fe (15 mins) and Albuquerque (1 hour by car, shuttle or train), Rancho Gallina is off the beaten path yet convenient to all the beauty and culture of northern New Mexico.
This is an intimate retreat limited to 12 guests so please sign up early to insure your spot.
