NEW YEAR IN A NEW WAY Wednesday, December 30, 2015 to Saturday, January 2, 2016 Big parties and noise-makers are great, however, what would it be like to bring closure to one year and enter the new year in an expansive and beautiful place like Ghost Ranch?

Our New Year’s offerings consciously cultivate the quality of spaciousness in one’s life within our 21,000 acres and wide open sky.

New Year Retreats Wednesday, December 30, 2015 to Saturday, January 2, 2016 Creating Possibilities: Listening for New Directions in Life G15CDS1241 Nina Ross Traditionally, New Year’s is a time when we make an account of where we’ve been and where we are going in the New Year.

Through active imagination, journaling and artwork, we will have the opportunity to listen within to the still small voices for guidance and possible new directions for our lives.

As a group, we will have the opportunity to share our dreams each time we come together.

We will find support in the group for reaching our goals, expanding our visions and feeling gratefully alive with new ideas.

No prior art experience is necessary, just an openness to explore and experiment.

Jim Reale

Peter Traben Haas

This retreat offers practices that purify our human system, creating within ourselves the quality of spaciousness. Using selected contemplative techniques based in yoga, we will learn how to remove that feeling of constriction so often experienced due to the pressure and stress of everyday life.

Entering the New Year is an ideal time to take rest and remember what has been and envision what could be. It is a threshold time for forgiving, forgetting and moving forward. Each stage is necessary and holds a unique gift.

These simple, short practices comprised of ordinary movement, breathing exercises, mindful attention, chant and ritual are taught in a stepwise manner. By performing these practices with regularity, we live a more productive, healthier and content life. You can take home these practices, written in simple form, to support you throughout the year.

In the midst of high desert beauty and silence of Ghost Ranch, join author, teacher and pastor Peter Traben Haas for this life-changing time away to replenish and renew. In this retreat, you will be nurtured by the contemplative inner dimension of Christianity through prayer, teaching, spiritual practices, dialogue, time in nature and more.

The Wheel of Creativity: Taking Your Place in the Adventure of Life

Home is a Way of Life: Creating Your Life Without Losing Your Way

G16S121X All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $395 Single Occupancy: Private Bath: $495

G16CDS131 All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $1,050 Shared Bath: $850 Single Occupancy Hermitage: $1,200

Do you want to move to the next level of passionate achievement in your life? Whether you’re transitioning through loss to a new life or longing to move from success in one field to another, this course (based on Katherine’s book of the same title) gives you a road map to see the landscape of your life as a creative playground.

This retreat explains and explores the 12 stages of the natural process of creating anything, from a business to a new marriage.

Learn to recognize where you are in that process in every aspect of your life. Empower yourself to live deliberately.

Katherine Robertson-Pilling

In The Wheel of Creativity (Katherine’s book/process) every creative cycle begins and ends at “Home,” the place in your life where things are familiar, comfortable and stable.

It is the place you have to leave to create something new and the place you return to when you have completed a creative process.

When we do not take time out to “get off the wheel”—to reconnect and replenish ourselves —we end up exhausted and depleted. Be gently guided from Home as Status Quo (the way things always were) to Home as Via Vitae (a creative way of life) through the spiritual principles in the Wheel of Creativity.

Katherine RobertsonPilling is passionate about the creative process as a way of life.

Through decades of research and personal life experience, she has mapped 12 stages of the creative process in a framework she calls The Wheel of Creativity™. Katherine has been bringing ideas into form for more than 25 years. She has written and produced hundreds of projects in a dozen different media, from books and websites to film and TV.

G16CDS221 All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $1,150 Shared Bath: $950 Single Occupancy Hermitage: $1,300 Kelly Wendorf With our modern pace, we’ve become increasingly wisdom-starved and have forgotten our source. We find substitutes instead: productivity, efficiency, data and metrics. Our lives are overflowing with such information.

Yet wisdom, and how it speaks to us, becomes increasingly elusive.

Join Kelly Wendorf, the co-founder of EQUUS, for a retreat that will strip away the noise that interferes with your hearing and trust, and will reconnect you with what is your birthright —the wisdom way of knowing.

Valentine’s Weekend Under the Stars

The Heart of the Brain G16H222Y All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $495 Shared Bath: $415 Communal Bath: $385

G16H221X All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $399 per couple Susan Weber Celebrate Valentine’s Day with someone you love. Our Valentine’s Weekend package offers space to rest and explore together along with several activities to supplement your time at the Ranch.

The $399 package rate includes two nights lodging for two with a choice of either an Upper Mesa room with a private bath (in Tumbleweed or Coyote) or a room with a private bath on the historic lower level of the Ranch.

Offerings for the weekend include a special couple’s yoga and reflexology session, a guided hike and an all-Ranch lecture about the brain’s basis for love with Layne Kalbfleisch, educational psychology and neuroscientist.

Layne Kalbfleisch, M.Ed, Ph.D Learn basic principles of the brain’s function and plasticity: how it learns, remembers, creates and imagines in childhood and across life; the difference between good and bad stress; and new skills to keep it healthy, enhance memory and support skill and talent.

Join in a series of experiences that disrupt and dismantle old understandings about the brain (i.e., you are born with all of the brain cells you will ever have) and replace them with fresh information and new insight (i.e., the brain “moonlights’’ during sleep to help you form lasting memories).

This combination of science lecture, art and craft and an intentional exercise using images and prose allows you to feel or see what “I mean,” not just hear what “I say.”

Women’s Leadership Forum Wednesday, April 6 to Sunday, April 10, 2016

In this companion retreat to “Empowering Women to Lead in the 21st Century,” we as women explore suffering in our world---interpersonal, individual and collective. Rev. Anita Amstutz, Judy Bierbaum, Dr. Adonna Rometo, Peggy Marquez Garcia, Michelle Renteria.

Fierce Love: Holding Suffering with Compassion G16S411Z All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $725 Shared Bath: $595 Communal Bath: $545 Experiential tools of sacred storytelling, shadow work. Interplay, prayer and ritual, dreamwork and the Way of the Curandera guide us and help us courageously and compassionately begin to name and work with suffering in our lives and world. How might we allow suffering to transform us so we can be of greater service to the world?

Can we re-imagine suffering as a teacher in our lives and those of our ancestors and our children? As the Persian mystic Rumi wrote about our human sufferings in The Guest House: “Welcome and entertain them all! even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture.

Still, treat each guest honorably. (S)he may be clearing you out for some new delight.”

Here in the high desert of Ghost Ranch, amidst the fierce beauty and sustenance of the landscape and her inhabitants, we explore embodied practices that

move us towards healing and renewal of our bodies and souls. We refresh our vision and encourage one another to fully name and claim who we are and what we need to return to our daily lives and the work at hand.

This course is open to all who are being called to lead in ways of Spirit as lovers of God, self, neighbor, earth; whether clergy, teacher, healing practitioner, therapist, scientist, mother, activist or other.

Introduction to Rock Climbing: Exploring the Magic of the Vertical World

Valerie Brown

Nina Ross

Based on the work of author Parker J. Palmer, this Courage & Renewal® retreat explores how we can be present to ourselves, more deeply and more fully, as we experience issues of transition, relationship shift, aging, changes in direction, and questions about vocation, in order to live in alignment with our deepest values.

Carl Jung had a secret book of his dreams and imagery only recently shared with the public, “The Red Book.” He felt that everyone could have their own Red Book by following their dreams, imagination and visual imagery. In this course, participants have the opportunity to create a book of their own by exploring their inner world.

In this retreat you will savor daily contemplative practices, and enjoy periods of quiet time, journaling and self-reflection in conjunction with large and small group discussions. Offranch trips are planned.

Exhale deeply and relax at a nearby mineral springs (at an extra fee), enjoy an afternoon of Gregorian chant at Christ in the Desert Monastery and visit the weavers of Medanales to explore local culture.

G16O511X All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $435 Shared Bath: $350 Communal Bath: $325 Camping-No Meals: $225 Stefan Link Why climb a rock wall?

Because it’s there!...and to gain the internal experience of what it takes to push through any self-imposed limitations that get in the way of what we want in life. No other activity allows for such focused clarity of presence. While taking us to beautiful, unique places in nature, climbing asks us to be poised, balanced, strong and clear in our choices.

Learn the basics of equipment, safety and efficient movement in the vertical world.

No experience necessary. All equipment is provided.

Core Synchronism Training Thursday, May 5 to Wednesday, May 18, 2016 The Gift of Core Synchronism Core Synchronism is a system of hand medicine designed to assist nature in establishing harmony with all parts of the organism. It’s designed to restore balance, which results in activating an individual’s selfhealing ability. Robert Stevens, ND, developed this system over his 40 plus years of clinical practice using Cranial Sacral and Polarity Therapy.

The core current is believed to be the vital source that feeds our bodies through the medium of the cerebral spinal fluid. This fluid is the highest known element in our bodies, and all components of ourselves are in flow with its rhythm. Aspects of ourselves go out of harmony with this rhythm through the life experience of physical, mental or emotional trauma/ injury and stress.

The goal of Core Synchronism is to reestablish harmony by synching up our organ, skeletal, muscular, lymphatic and nervous systems with our elemental energy and core vitality. When this union occurs, our system resets back to its natural state of balance. Then, the expression of inflammation, pain and disease is no longer necessary. Optimal health

32

| GHOSTRANCH.ORG

in our body and our life becomes possible.

Core Synchronism is deeply relaxing, safe and gentle. Learn this wonderful method of bodywork that can be used to assist the health and wellness of yourself, your family and your community.

The majority of classroom time will be hands-on practice. There are no prerequisites required. This work is subtle, non-invasive, empowering and transformative. The touch of the hand is light and gentle, and all bodywork is done fully clothed.

Please wear loose, soft and comfortable clothing.

First evening each session is an orientation and welcome. For participants doing multiple sessions, you have a day of rest/exploration between sessions.

Artist Alive Series!

Wednesday, May 25 to Sunday, May 29, 2016 Ghost Ranch Welcomes Celebrated Latino Artist and Speaker Cultivate a Creative Mind G16A541 All-Inclusive, Double Occupancy: Private Bath: $900 Shared Bath: $750 Communal Bath: $675 Camping (no meals): $450 This workshop offers practical ways to chip away at the fear that we’ve all developed over the years from not having the opportunity to nurture and develop our multiple intelligences and abilities (gifts). Learn ways to nurture and develop creativity, as well as how to connect with your curiosity.

Simón Silva Silva believes honing your artistic talent provides society with an opportunity to move forward in the right direction, by having better communication and better problem solving capabilities. Silva says that a child has no self-imposed barriers or limitations in the communication process. A child will draw or say what they are thinking without hesitation; as we age, we are jaded by public opinion, and are critical of our artistic talent.

Thus, we stop drawing and stop creating.

Silva realized that he could use his art when he found something important to say that words alone could not capture.

Silva says, “Employing artistic communication in our daily lives creates better professionals by making us better communicators, by getting us to ask the right questions.”

Simón Silva wants to help create a society of critical thinkers and problem solvers to bring change to our world.
