A private 2,600-acre luxury ranch 25 minutes from Santa Fe, where you host your retreat and we take care of the rest.
Your work is the reason people sign up for your event. The ranch is the reason they’ll never forget it. Give them 2,600 private acres of open desert with hiking trails and horses, meals cooked from scratch, and a level of care that makes the whole trip feel worth every mile – and you’ll create an experience they’ll want to revisit and share with their friends.
Designed by hotelier and former Airbnb Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy Chip Conley, our two retreat centers were built to give small groups a high-end retreat experience that feels completely their own. Every detail was chosen with a hotelier’s eye – hand-selected tile, solid wood wardrobes, organic cotton bathrobes, beds you won’t want to leave.
Chip trained our hospitality staff to notice what your group needs and handle it before you have to ask. However your days come together, we will handle every detail, so you can focus on your members and the work you came here to do together.
Set on a working high-desert ranch in New Mexico’s Galisteo Basin, this is a retreat property built for groups that want to connect. The architecture is authentic Pueblo Revival: earth-toned adobe-style buildings with hand-hewn timber posts, exposed beams, and shaded portales that wrap around a series of landscaped courtyards.
The layout is the advantage for a private retreat. Two-story guest wings frame interior courtyards organized around communal fire pits — natural gathering points for the unstructured conversations where the best insights arrive.
The high-ceilinged guest rooms are private and thoughtfully designed, with handcrafted furniture, regional textiles, and views looking out on the open desert. And depending on the size of your group, it can be all yours. No competing events, no strangers in the common spaces – just your people and the open desert. It’s the kind of exclusivity a hotel or conference center simply can’t offer.
You bring the teaching, the practice, the questions. But the shifts you’re guiding them toward don’t happen only in the room. They happen on a silent walk to the petroglyphs, in an hour by the fire, under a starry sky that extends for miles. The place opens people up before you’ve said a word.
That’s what the setting gives you. The distance from everything, the quiet, and the expansiveness of the open desert do part of the work for you – so your people arrive at what you’re leading them toward more easily than they ever would somewhere ordinary.
The two centers sleep up to 86 across 43 rooms: Cottonwood (up to 44) and Juniper (up to 42). Give everyone a private room, or pair people up to bring the per-person cost down. Each room was designed by hotelier Chip Conley, with the kind of beds and hand-selected finishes that make a few days away feel like a reward.
The setting may be remote, but the meeting space leaves nothing out. Each retreat center has its own meeting space, set up the way your group works:
Flexible setups – circle, horseshoe, or theater
A 65" display with HDMI for presentations
Flip charts, markers, and sticky notes for working sessions
Reliable Wi-Fi and power throughout
A snack and beverage station that stays stocked
Full production AV available through our preferred local vendor when you need to scale up
Your program is the heart of the retreat. When you want to give your people something more, our team can add experiences around it – led by us, so you never have to step out of your own work to run them.
A morning circle session to open the day with focus and candor, a session on the art of listening or cultivating purpose, a guided horseback ride or a walk to the petroglyphs between sessions. Mindful movement or a sound bath to soothe frazzled nervous systems.
Tell us what would round out your retreat, and we’ll fold it in – yours to include as much or as little as you like.
Our chefs cook three meals a day from scratch, using organic ingredients grown and raised nearby – the flavors of Northern New Mexico, drawn from Native American, Spanish, and Mexican traditions. Your group dines at long tables, family-style, the way the best conversations tend to keep going. Beer and wine with dinner, a welcome reception on arrival, and every dietary need handled.
Some of the most valuable exchanges of the trip happen on the trail or around the fire. Build the days around experiences your members can only have here.
Ride out across the range on horseback, or settle in for a carriage ride behind our team of Percherons
Hike the arroyos to ancient petroglyphs and a view that runs for miles
Spend a session in equine-assisted learning, where the horses help each person understand themselves better
Slow down with a sound bath, morning yoga, or an hour in the hot-stone sauna
Gather around the fire under some of the darkest skies in the Southwest, where the talk tends to keep going

Every group’s retreat is priced to what it needs. Rates are all-inclusive – lodging, all meals, daily activities, your private meeting space, and use of the grounds – and shift with the season.
A full buyout of a retreat center starts at an 18-room minimum, with day-use and add-on rates available on request.
Let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll put together a proposal built around your group: capacity, room configurations, a sample flow for the days, and clear, all-in pricing in one place.
Travel, rooms, meals, meeting setup, activities – it all comes together before you arrive, planned with you over a couple of calls, then handled by our team on the ground. No vendor wrangling, no last-minute scrambles. Your gathering runs on schedule, and the person who organized it gets to be part of it instead of running it from the sidelines.
Share a few details, and we'll be in touch to shape a plan.
