Whether it’s horseback riding and astronomy, cooking classes and music by the fire, or an immersion into regenerative ranching and soil science, you will experience learning, inspiration, and connection in new and unexpected ways. Our Santa Fe campus at Rising Circle Ranch opens in March 2024.

Our Campus Features:
  • 4-square miles of dedicated, private space – a crucible for big thoughts
  • Lush high-desert mountain views with uniquely Santa Fe breathtaking sunsets
  • Plenty of room to roam – MEAnder around the arroyo or hike the ridge
  • Horses, donkeys, ranch dogs...and more than a few hawks and eagles

A sky this big and a ranch this vast contain the hopes, dreams, and actions of a community dedicated to personal, environmental, and societal improvement. Wisdom at work, indeed.

Food & Beverage

The cuisine of northern New Mexico is renowned for its unique blend of Native American, Spanish, and Mexican influences, resulting in dishes that feature bold flavors and a rich cultural tapestry. All meals, beverages and alcohol are included in the cost of the workshop.

Chef Tony Peralta, our famed chef from MEA in Baja, Mexico will oversee the menu development of our Santa Fe campus and will be sourcing organic, local ingredients to create a unique culinary experience.
