...nestled in the Ponderosa Pines in the heart of Santa Fe’s national forest… a cozy, pristine cabin retreat available for your personal rest and renewal in spectacular natural surroundings. Conveniently located in the Sangre de Christo mountains on the eastside of Santa Fe (only ten minutes drive or easy hike to the Plaza,) the complete sense of privacy and quiet here is reminiscent of another world. Hiking/biking/jogging/snowshoeing trails abound, and solitude and silence are in abundance.

This retreat cabin is made of wood and glass, affording maximum sunlight during the day and open sky views of the stars at night. It is fully furnished and has all amenities needed to make your stay one of deep comfort and total relaxation, including all kitchen utensils, bed and bath accessories (relaxing bathtub as well as shower available, as well as a loft sleeping space with skylight overhead to watch the stars at night,) washer and dryer, phone and wireless service available (if you must!) and a woodstove for those snowy winter nights (solar design and propane heat affording comfortable temperature year-round.)

Design Your Own Spiritual Retreat in the Mountains of Santa Fe and Immerse in Yoga, Meditation and Nature…
...from a weekend to a week…or for a more extended visit, depending upon availability. As a yoga and meditation practitioner and teacher, Yoga Ma can offer guidance in all of the limbs of the practice as they relate to present experience, including the philosophical teachings of the yogic texts, the physical postures, and breath work, as well as the more metaphysical aspects of the practice including turning our attention inward to develop concentration leading to states of meditation and union or yoga. Her own personal practice is deeply influenced by the teachings of the dharma.

The day after returning from my personal weekend of yoga, meditation, hiking, conversing, learning, reading, and sleeping I ran into my neighbor. She cocked her head and said, 'You look different. Really different.' I felt different too - lighter yet grounded. Stronger yet flexible. Confident yet humbled by the beauty of the mountains, the swollen stream, the meditation temples of masonry as well of forest, Barbara's words and actions, the peaceful cabin, and the quiet memories of those 2 days that drift across my mind with the same power and jarring signifigance of a long journey to a place so outside of my culture, my racing with the rats (career! motherhood! wife! landress! etc! etc! etc!), and my usual frayed edges that I not only look different and feel different, but I believe I am different.

I came to the cabin not knowing the agenda, and having some expectations and goals, but also a willingness to just turn myself over to the process. I wanted to enhance and strengthen my personal yoga practice, to learn more about meditation, and underneath it all, to re-align my perceptions.

Barbara guided me through all of this and more. She listened carefully; reflected and clarified my ramblings, and provided the physical and emotional space I needed to begin the truly life-altering re-alignment I seek.

I believe this weekend was just a jumping off point. I have been given more to learn, to contemplate, and to practice. I hope to see Barbara next year, and the year after that, and the year after that!

Namaste, Jade

She can also be your wilderness guide in nature, where you can go hiking along the abundant trails in the forest surrounding this unique sanctuary in the mountains. The intention is that each retreat be co-designed between the participant and Yoga Ma so that each individual’s particular vision of retreat is honored.

Additional optional amenities can be arranged, including on-site massage and more to suit your personal vision of retreat…or you can simply come and give yourself the gift of a boundless and uninterrupted immersion in solitude.
