Bringing Ghost Ranch to You

We sure miss seeing your beautiful faces in person, however, that doesn’t mean that we can’t stay connected. Throughout this Fall, the Ranch will be introducing more virtual offerings and courses available to you for learning new things and deepening into your truest and strongest self. Our seasoned and inspiring instructors have important messages and practices to offer in these ever-changing times. Our two September virtual offerings take us to both ends of the spectrum – tapping into our grief as well as tapping into our joy. Visit ghostranch.org to learn more. We have also worked to keep these offerings affordable and have a Covid sliding scale with registration rates. We are still here for you.

VIRTUAL EVENTS WRITING YOUR STORY OF LOSS & TRANSFORMATION with Mirabai Starr

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26

In these times of upheaval, we have renewed access to the hidden wisdom embedded in our most profound life experiences. Like the winnowing of grain, what no longer serves us is falling away and what is most alive is rising and breaking through. CLICK TO REGISTER

During this two-day virtual gathering, we will be exploring the transformational power of difficult passages, the sacred invitation to radical unknowing, and the soul’s longing to speak in her own voice. Mirabai will offer brief teachings on memoir, focusing on writing about and from grief and loss, and offer potent writing prompts. We will share our work in small groups and with the full circle. Expect to generate a large quantity of material in a short time, from which you will be able to do what Michelangelo said: I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. On Friday evening, halfway through our time together, we will have a special virtual inter-spiritual Shabbat service to welcome the Sacred Feminine and restore balance in ourselves and the world. You will be invited to cultivate your own Sabbath practice going forward, one that fits the shape of your own life, to help integrate contemplative space into your writing practice.
