Elevated high desert gathering.

ELEVATED high desert GATHERING

Northern Arizona. September 25th-27th, 2026. Limited spaces available.

A collaborative gathering held in a mystical retreat atmosphere out in the high desert mountains with a vibrant tapestry of offering to choose from, from grounding yoga sessions that connect us to the earth, to soulful rituals that honor our inner selves and the nature we are immersed in, to ecstatic dance that celebrates the joy of movement and creative expression. Your presence is invaluable to weaving this vision for a private, mini-festival into reality.

Welcome to the annual Collaborative Elevated Gathering

Unplug. Unwind. Unleash your inner artist.

Our Elevated Gatherings are more than a retreat – it's an intimate gathering, a sacred space for open-minded creatives to connect, explore, and heal under the vast, star-dusted desert sky. We believe in the power of inclusive community, the wisdom of nature, and the transformative potential of holistic practices.

Within our enchanted desert forest, you'll discover a unique blend of:

• Nature Immersion: Reconnect with the earth through guided walks, meditative practices in the high desert landscape, and moments of quiet contemplation under the mystical stars. Think deep nature - the ranch is six miles down an unmaintained dirt-road, completely off-grid and self-reliant.

• Restorative Yoga & Movement: Gentle and invigorating practices to awaken your body, calm your mind, and deepen your connection to self. All levels welcome.

• Sound Healing: Immerse yourself in the profound vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other sacred instruments, guiding you into states of deep relaxation and inner harmony.

• Creative Play & Expression: Engage in workshops designed to spark your imagination, whether through collaborative art, mindful writing prompts, or other creative explorations.

• Nourishing Community: Share stories, ideas, and laughter with a group of like-minded individuals. Forge authentic connections in a supportive atmosphere.

The Experience:

This Elevated Gathering is held in a truly unique, plant-friendly environment – a haven where the lines between nature and nurture blur. Our aim is to provide a container where you feel safe to explore, express, and simply be. Every offering is curated with intention, encouraging you to tap into your intuition and unlock new levels of creative potential.

Imagine a weekend immersed in nature, where we come together to co-create this curated experience while unplugging from the day to day pressures and distractions while immersed in the trees with space to connect with other like-minded humans, choosing a variety or workshops — all held in a plant-friendly environment.

In addition to our diverse team of collaborators (think over ten hosts and facilitators!), we have premium AZ companies sponsoring product on-site.

This isn't just an event; it's an opportunity for us to blend our individual passions and co-create a healing-centered yet light hearted experience for all who attend. We believe that by coming together, we can cultivate something truly magical and deeply resonant for all of us.
