Where the group sleeps

    Private walled adobe compound in the historic east side with a courtyard, a kiva fireplace, and the quietude that makes Santa Fe mornings feel like meditation.

What you do

  • Cacao Ceremony

    Guided ceremonial cacao circle with an experienced facilitator — opens the group for honest conversation about the chapter ahead in a quietly powerful way.

  • Ten Thousand Waves Spa Day

    Japanese mountain hot spring resort in the Sangre de Cristo foothills — communal tubs, private suites, and a treatment menu rooted in centuries of soaking tradition.

  • Sound Bath at Meow Wolf

    Periodic sound healing events inside the immersive House of Eternal Return — the vibrational experience inside the art installation is unlike anything else.

  • Tarot Circle on Canyon Road

  • Canyon Road Gallery Walk

    Guided walk through the mile-long Canyon Road gallery district with over 80 galleries — the best afternoon in Santa Fe for any group that cares about art.

  • Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return

    Santa Fe's immersive art collective masterpiece — 70 rooms of narrative-driven interactive art installation that rewards exploration.

Where you eat

  • The Shed

    A 1692 hacienda on the east side of the Plaza serving the definitive New Mexican plate since 1953 — the red chile here is a pilgrimage item.

  • Geronimo Restaurant

    Canyon Road's most celebrated fine dining destination in a 1756 adobe — the tasting menu that makes the weekend feel complete.

  • La Boca

    Downtown Spanish tapas bar with a long sharing menu designed for groups — the dinner that takes three hours and never feels long.

  • Tia Sophia's

    Cash-only downtown institution credited with inventing the breakfast burrito — the morning reset locals send every visitor to without hesitation.

  • Izanami at Ten Thousand Waves

    The mountain spa's restaurant serves izakaya-style small plates in a high-desert setting with Sangre de Cristo views.

  • La Choza

    The Shed's sister restaurant on Alarid Street with the same red-chile tradition and a covered patio that runs late on weekends.
