October 29th - November 2nd 2025
Silver City, NM
Held by Mel, Tara, Nicole and Elisa
We welcome you to our most anticipated event of the year, a very special annual ceremony exploring the cycles of life, death and rebirth through sacred ritual, ceremony, sound, and community. This experience has become one of our favorite events of the year and one you will not soon forget. This event sells out every year, so registering sooner than later is highly advised. This year, we will limit capacity to 20 participants to ensure everyone’s comfort and space.
Samhain is a time of endings and beginnings. The harvest is complete, and in this hemisphere, the earth begins its descent into winter. By witnessing the light and shadow within ourselves and the world around us, this intensive will allow you space to explore your own transformational process and deeply connect with yourself and each other.
We will also honor all those we have loved and lost and our own ancestral heritage with the sacred rituals of Día de los Muertos and All Souls Day. Throughout history, most cultures and religions regard these days as a time when the veil between worlds is the thinnest and our beloved dead can stand with us close in spirit. Join us as we grieve and celebrate the lives of those we loved as we connect with what has been, what is, and what will be.
This experience takes place at LandRanch, a deeply sacred space on 20 acres just outside of Silver City, NM. Silver City is on the edge of the Gila Wilderness, a 3+million acre reserve, the oldest in our nation. We welcome you home to our big sky, sparkling stars and the mystery of the desert.
Given the intentionality of this incredible event, your RSVP and $500 deposit are due by September 1st in order to accommodate the comfort of all those attending.
As the event approaches, you will be receiving information regarding rituals, revelry, attire, formalities, fun and how to prepare for this journey through life, death and rebirth.
Arrival is Wednesday, October 29th between 3-5PM MT with a welcome dinner at 7PM MT.
Ceremony begins at 10am on Thursday, October 30th and continues until the close of our circle with brunch and final integration by 1pm Sunday, November 2nd.
The two pricing options for this 5 day intensive are:
$3000 - Lodging in our large adobe lodge, private glamping tents or our high-ceiling adobe studio. The main adobe home and studio offer beautiful shared bedrooms while the glamping tents (season dependent) offer more privacy (season dependent).
$2400 - This price does not include bedding, and is for anyone bringing their own tent, van or other form of lodging. We have a lot of space for you to setup your own accommodations on the land.
Both options include all ceremonies, incredible fresh, homemade vibrant meals, live music, a deeply held and safe space to process and play by a large staff with a variety of modalities available to help you move through what needs to be explored in whatever way serves you best in each moment.
There will be live music throughout this event. Bodywork sessions will be available by appointment.
