Gaia + Dialoguing

WILDERNESS WORKSHOPS

REDISCOVER YOUR NATURAL ABILITY

For many of us, nature is our sanctuary. So, distress about the state of the environment is understandable. But what if we could channel the deep love beneath that suffering into cultivating a mutually healing relationship between ourselves and nature? In these day-long workshops, we reclaim our perception of the natural world as animate, & explore our capacity to connect creatively. You’ll learn concrete skills to support your ongoing & life-affirming relationship with the natural world. Come join us in the beautiful alpine meadows of New Mexico’s Pecos Wilderness for a day of connection, imagination, and creativity.

The Gaialoguing© (Gaia + dialoguing) curriculum is grounded in Keziah’s decade of study & practice with techniques including Jungian Active Imagination, Shamanic Journeying, and Wilderness Ceremonies. While the format and techniques remain consistent, each Gaialoguing© workshop is tailored to fit the needs of a specific time, place, and circle of participants. This program began as a co-creation with the natural world, recognizing the Earth as an equal participant in any endeavor. This mission ripples throughout our gatherings.

THE WORKSHOP

LUNA RANCH — CHACON, NM

Our day begins at 11am, when our intimate group of participants arrives at Luna Ranch, a private property near Chacon, NM. We spend the next five hours immersed in peaceful woods and inspirationally beautiful alpine meadows, embodying the principles of Gaialoguing© — learning to connect with Self & Earth.

The day includes intellectually stimulating discussions, activating the imagination in an embodied way, introspection & sharing, & light-hearted creative/artistic exercises. Together, we discover the beneficial & relevant information available to us when we tap into our relationship with Earth as an equal.

LUMOS CENTER — TAOS, NM

For our collaborations with Lumos Center, our day begins at 10AM in Taos. After a morning of meditation, intuitive bodywork, and introspection, we dive into the Gaialoguing© curriculum, exploring the lush acequia and bosque at Lumos Center.

PARTICIPANTS

Gaialoguing© workshops take place in a remote, high altitude wilderness. Luna Ranch sits at 10 to 11 thousand feet above sea-level and is an hour’s drive from the nearest town. The ideal candidate for Gaialoguing© workshops is mobile, healthy & tolerant of high elevation. If you are unsure about your ability to participate in an enjoyable way, consult your doctor. If you have any questions, inquire via the contact page.

Most of all, Gaialoguing© is designed for respectful individuals committed to a positive vision for life with a capacity for openheartedness, playfulness, creativity, and a mutually loving relationship with nature.

Luna Ranch is part of the traditional territories of the Comanche and Apache peoples, and later the Spanish settlers. I recognize the spiritual sicknesses that allowed past and present cruelty to occur. These workshops are designed to heal those sicknesses by remembering all peoples’ core belonging to each other and Mother Earth.

“To be fully alive is to have an aesthetic perception of life because a major part of the world’s goodness lies in its often unspeakable beauty. ”
