Nothing to Prove: Uncovering Your True Worth

We live in a world that defines “worthiness” by how much we achieve and accomplish. As children, many of us are taught that love needs to be earned, so we spend our lives seeking approval and validation from the outside—often at great cost to our soul. 

But what if another way is possible—a way that’s grounded in trust that who we are is enough? As mystics through the ages have taught, the light we seek lives within us, and nothing can defile it. When we learn to quiet the outside noise, we can connect to this light and live in alignment with our destiny.

This retreat promises to be a very special journey, supported by the beautiful desert landscape, nourishing food, and a like-minded community of seekers.

This retreat will include scheduled sessions, as well as time and space to relax and explore the local area. During the week, you will:

• Open your heart with music, chanting, and meditation

• Rejuvenate your nervous system with sound healing and deep rest

• Receive inspired teachings and tools that you can integrate into your daily life

• Star gaze under the big New Mexico skies and enjoy evenings by the fire pit

• Relax in the hot tub, sauna, and hammocks

• Connect with a community of like-minded souls

Optional experiences include:

• Healing waters immersion at Ojo Caliente mineral springs and spa

• Visits to nearby sacred sites, including the Neem Karoli Baba ashram and the Taos Pueblo 

• Forest bathing in Carson National Forest

• Explore the downtown Plaza with local artisans, crafts, and culture

• Reiki, massage, and bodywork sessions with local practitioners

• Space to unplug and enjoy the peace of a digital detox

Our retreat will take place at Hyperslow Retreat Center in the historic San Geronimo lodge. A beautiful and rare example of traditional Taos architecture, the Lodge has adobe walls, high viga ceilings, and rambling verandas.

Situated amongst fruit trees with stunning mountain views, the property spans two acres and includes a pool, hot tub, sauna, shaded nooks, yurt, hammocks, meditation labyrinth, and fire pit. The en-suite rooms are serene and comfortable, with luxury linens and locally-made toiletries.

The meditation hall, bedrooms, walking spaces, dining room, and kitchen are all within one building.  There is one wheelchair accessible bedroom with enough beds to allow for an attendant, if needed.

The lodge is an easy two-mile walk from both Carson National Forest for epic hikes and the downtown Plaza for culture and shopping.
