The Prelude: Cultivating Connection Before You Arrive
The Prelude: Cultivating Connection Before You Arrive
The experience begins with a private WhatsApp group, a virtual community where attendees can introduce themselves, share their excitement, coordinate travel arrangements, and start building the bonds that will deepen throughout the retreat.
To help everyone have the best retreat available, each participant will have a 10 minute one-on-one Zoom conversation with Beth in March 2026.

Private Tour of Georgia O'Keeffe Museum: Walking in the Footsteps of Vision: Begin the day with a private tour of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.

More to Say Session: The Courage of Deep Conversation: After the museum visit, the retreat shifts from observation to participation with a "More to Say" session. This is where the group moves beyond pleasantries and surface-level exchange into territory that matters—into the questions, challenges, and topics that deserve more time, more attention, more collective wisdom than our normal lives typically allow.

Departure / Explore the City: Choosing Your Ending: The retreat concludes with flexibility, honoring that people have different needs as intensive group experiences end. Some will need to depart immediately, returning to the airports and the obligations of regular life. For those who stay, Santa Fe offers endless possibilities: the historic Plaza with its portal lined with Native American artisans selling their work, the Canyon Road gallery district with over a hundred art galleries, the Loretto Chapel with its mysterious spiral staircase, the numerous museums, churches, and cultural sites, or simply wandering the adobe-lined streets, stopping in cafes, absorbing the unique atmosphere of a city where three cultures have blended for centuries.
