Wild & Sacred Journey
Join us during the Samson Summit on November 7-9, 2025, for The Wild and Sacred Journey, a transformative weekend retreat designed exclusively for women to reconnect with the wild, playful, and sacred aspects of themselves. This experience weaves together moments of creative expression, deep reflection, and communal celebration, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Through guided activities and intentional spaces, participants will explore how these concepts manifest both externally in the world around them and internally in their own hearts and bodies, embracing the power of play, sacred connection, and untamed beauty in the journey of healing.
Semi-private lodging includes lodging, entry into Meow Wolf and El Santuario de Chimayo, a Private Temazcal Renewal Ceremony, and meals (excluding Friday & Saturday dinners). Non-lodging includes all activities only.
