  • “I truly could not ask for a more perfect location. I LOVED the retreat grounds - absolutely awe-inspiring! It was quietly peaceful; I felt secluded from the "real" world and nicely off the grid without feeling lost in the wilderness.”

  • “It's a magical, alchemical, empowering adult adventure camp that will bring you closer to yourself and help calibrate your compass.”

  • “To be in such a sacred, special place is like a vacation for the soul. There's so much available to experience - if you want - at Ghost Ranch. There's a calmness in the air and just to soak it in is enough. The bonus of the retreat is the personal contact with the HotV community - getting to hug them and meet them in the flesh while doing in-person exercises that brought is even closer and tightened the bonds between us.”

  • “A spiritually cleansing experience divorced from dogma.  Nature, mentorship, and friendship as both a steadying platform and a springboard to the path of enlightenment.”

  • “I wanted to leave behind my roles and titles and just be me - in play, in discovery, in rest. I do believe I received just that.”

  • “I left with a grounded-ness that was more than I have experienced in other retreats. I believe the ability to truly interact in such a natural setting helped bring the peace and quiet necessary to exponentially affect authentic engagement.”

  • “Frankly what I didn't expect is the vastness of Ghost Ranch itself. My perception of the place itself was minuscule compared to reality. I'd even studied the website in detail but I just had no idea what an amazing destination it is in and of itself. Really an ideal venue and the perfect place for my goal to be attained. I am transformed and still unwrapping the gift that was this experience.”  

  • “I loved the mix of organized activities, group activities that were free-form, and solitary time afforded.”

  • “I got a renewal of my soul, strength for my spirit and hope for my journey forward”
