Ayahuasca Retreat Near Santa Fe for the Spring Equinox
Two Weekends Available · Santa Fe, New Mexico · 3 Ceremonies Each (2 night, 1 day)
The Spring Equinox is the balance point between light and dark, rest and movement, seed and sprout. It marks the moment the earth begins to quicken, and we are invited to do the same. This retreat is for those who want to align with that shift — in ceremony, community and truth.
This spring, we're offering two identical retreat weekends on the same private land outside Santa Fe. Both carry the same medicine, the same care, the same container. The only difference is the date. Choose the weekend that fits your life and join us.
The land itself supports the work: a wide-open 100+ acre horse ranch with uninterrupted desert sky and mountain views, quiet horizons, and guests are welcome to offer sugar cubes to the free-roaming horses. Guests are also welcome to visit any of the other animals on the land.
What's Included
- Two night ceremonies and one daytime ceremony
- Professional integration support
- Workshops for seasonal alignment and integration preparation
- Nourishing meals cooked fresh on site
- Optional stay-through Monday morning at no extra cost
- Ongoing community support
- Private 100+ acre retreat center with free-roaming horses

Travel Information
Fly into Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF) for the easiest arrival. Albuquerque (ABQ) is a secondary option for those willing to drive slightly farther.
A private retreat group chat on Telegram opens three weeks before the retreat. Guests often use it to arrange rideshares, coordinate airport shuttles and connect before arrival. The exact retreat address is shared the day before the retreat for privacy and safety.
Airport shuttle will be offered from Santa Fe for those who need ground transportation.
