| Karma Yoga is the action of yoga- the work. Specifically, Karma Yoga is the path of dedicated work: renouncing the results of our actions as a spiritual offering rather than hoarding the results for ourselves (the giving of our work for something outside of ourselves). Curious what this translates for the ranch?
 Picture this:
- Dedicated selfless serving to a healing and accepting space that will host many individuals- offering compassion, love and grace
- Fireside chats at night
- Yummy Texas grub (lunch & dinner)
What kind of serving/work?
- Tree/foliage clean up
- Meditation labyrinth build out
- Parking lot clean up/space design
- Yoga deck build out
- Misc. work as needed/able
This isn’t a retreat, though I will have some gratitude gifts and treasures for you. Accommodations are not provided, though there are several close by hotels that are very inexpensive (and several VRBO’s/AirBnB’s too). Most meals, morning meditations, fireside chats and community will be provided.
Tentative date is October 9-11th 2020.
And yes, the ranch is on 46 acres, so practicing social distancing as needed will be available. I would also ask some general self health screening questions be honored (that will be asked daily).
This is available for spouses/significant others too! Come as a pair, or a group, or just you. Be prepared to work and open yourself up to service.
We will provide:
- lunch and dinners (wine with dinner!)
- water all day long (though feel free to bring your own refillable water bottle too)
- work gloves (though if you have your own favorite kind, feel free to bring em)
- a morning stretch and meditation to kick off the day on Saturday and Sunday
- some fun treats
- we have real restrooms on site (this may not seem like it is important, and although I am a girl that can squat in the forest with the best of them…ya’ll won’t have to as we do have one full structure up and my own private residence should be done in September 🙂

As a special thank you to everyone that comes, you will also receive $150 certificate to use at any retreat held at Retreat Ranch hosted by myself.
Anyone that attends agrees that:
- they do not have a fever or any symptoms of COVID-19
- they have not been in contact with anyone with COVID-19 the last 14 days
- they will be screened daily for a fever and health symptoms
- if they feel ill in any way, they will not participate
Please note: we are on 46 acres of mostly raw land and wildlife. The wildlife is more afraid of you then vice versa, however take note of your steps, be aware of your surroundings and do not approach or try to feed any wildlife.
