Details of this retreat

Come out to Spiral Dance Ranch where the land whispers to your spirit.

Here, surrounded by nature's frequencies, we re-member ourselves.

We breathe deep, We soften, We connect.

The SHIP initiation is a chance to step away from the noise, immerse yourself in the healing rhythms of the land, and be held in community.

If you feel the call, come join us.  The ranch is unfolding in such a beautiful way-new spaces, new pathways, and a living field of prayer that keeps getting stronger.  We can't wait to welcome you home.

Absolutely Wonderful Experience
Spiral Dance Ranch is such a beautiful center, and Lisa holds ceremonies with care, love, and deep compassion. This is a simply wonderful space with a heart-centered mission of healing and community building, with deep respect for the land and for honoring indigenous traditions.

Nourished by beauty
My experience at Spiral Dance Ranch never fails to leave me nourished and refreshed. The space they cultivate is so beautiful--from the rolling hill country surrounding the valley, to the clear river that flows through it.

I camped this most recent time, and the staff led me to a spot that was cleared, with a picnic table and perfectly surrounded by trees and space for privacy. They provided me with a blanket, towel, granola bar and water bottle. I wasn't expecting to be treated like such a guest when I was camping out. The outdoor bathrooms have hot showers and composting toilets and are perfectly clean while also caring for the environment.

All meals provided were freshly prepared with delicious, sustainable, and healthy ingredients, and a carafe of hot coffee never ran out in the mornings. This is a space I return to whenever I am able, knowing that the land and the people will feed the places in me that are empty.
