About the Retreat Center
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy an intimate retreat space that boasts modern accommodations, stunning views, private and shared rooms adorned with local cultural flair.
Enjoy multiple common areas indoors for relaxation, classwork and leisure.
Outdoors, take your drum and enjoy solo practice with the magnificent view, or take a break to soak in the hot tub.
At night, relax by the Kiva fireplace or enjoy famous NM stargazing.
The center is nestled in the Santa Fe mountains, just down the road from the city center, natural hot springs, sacred native sites and stunning landscapes.
Nestled within the Santa Fe mountainside is our retreat center, located only 20 minutes from Santa Fe airport, 5 minutes into Santa Fe proper, and 1 hour from Albuquerque airport.
