Upcoming Retreats

16 people is the maximum capacity for the Journey.

This Journey is for anyone who feels a deep longing to connect with their own inner wild essence. We journey both within and without together as community, supporting each other to access the true Mystery of who we are. 

Also, this landscape is one of the wildest in the US. It’s a chance to go on a rugged and transformative adventure like you are in the Andes in Peru without having the hassle of international travel.

Billings, Montana international airport is the closest airport. If you’d like to extend your trip for more adventures in the region, you can also check out the Bozeman, Montana airport a few hours to the east from Billings.

We carpool in several cars and vans.

This area is outdoors heaven! From hikers to fishers, campers to avid outdoor enthusiasts, this region has you covered.

Yellowstone National Park is only a few hours from Billings, with its spectacular vistas, geysers, and buffalo. The Grand Teton National Park and Cody, Wyoming’s world famous Buffalo Bill Center of the West are also within driving distance. In Bozeman, about 100 miles from Billings, you can visit the Museum of the Rockies and see a real T-Rex skeleton. If you’d like to go further afield, you can also plan to visit Devil’s Tower in Wyoming and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. It’s road trip heaven!

Ceremony means many things to many people. To us, it is the opportunity to gather together in community and to shift from clock time—the time of meetings, errands, hustle and bustle—into the vaster, truer sense of the timeless, or the eternal. When we do so, we connect in to our higher, wider, deeper selves, becoming present.

We work with what we call “Living Ceremony”. It means that we favor more informal, spontaneous approaches to accessing the living sacred heart of who we all truly are.

A Temazcal Sweat is an indigenous tradition for gentle purification, using herbs and water poured over fire heated rocks to create healing steam to warm and open the body and mind. Temazcal literally means “house of heat” in the Nahuatl language. This experience takes place in a "sweat lodge" - a kind of round hut made of branches and fabrics, or earth or stones. In the center of the Temazcal is a small pit where the rocks heated on a specially prepared fire are placed.

A Temazcal Sweat promotes relaxation of muscular systems and relieves pain. Sweat cleanses the body of toxins and is good for the respiratory system.  But the Temazcal is not just a simple herbal steam bath, but also an inner journey that helps us to reconnect with ourselves for self-healing. It is an experience of introspection that takes place under the guidance of a temazcalero or shaman. Although each ceremony is different, songs, chants, and drumming along with rattles, create a magical experience that is purifying, rejuvenating and inspirational.

For Friday through Sunday, all lunches are included, plus dinners Friday and Saturday, and breakfasts Saturday and Sunday. Hunter Peak Ranch can accommodate most dietary requests if you inform us at least 2 weeks in advance.

The mountain climate is highly dynamic. Bring layers, including rain gear. Wearing shoes you feel comfortable in climbing hills and rocks is preferred. It gets windy at the higher elevations, so be sure to have a warm coat, hat and scarf.

There are a limited number of single bedrooms. There are also rooms with twin beds in lofts for roommates. The single bedrooms are available on a first come first serve basis. When you sign up, please let us know that is your preference.

The Journey investment is still being calculated, it depends on what that additional day includes. Private rooms are available on a first come, first served basis for an additional fee. We’ll post the updated amount here as soon as we have firmed up the details.
