Workshops and retreats at Ghost Ranch go beyond traditional learning. They offer a chance to dig deeper, connect meaningfully, and explore new perspectives in a place where curiosity and courage thrive.

Our programs span a wide range of topics, all rooted in our mission to nurture the human spirit and mind, discover the sacred, and care for creation. Here, you can engage with the fine arts, develop a creative practice, explore the natural sciences, and gain a more profound insight into yourself and the world around you. Each summer, we also offer unique, low-cost programs for children, teens, and families.

Program registration and lodging may be secured online. If you require further assistance with registration, feel welcome to contact us at reservations@ghostranch.org or 505.685.1000.

If tuition is a barrier to attending, you may apply for a scholarship by submitting this form at least one month before the program start date. Please note: those who have received a scholarship in the past are not eligible for another.

To help us best support our summer programs, July overnight stays are available only to guests registered for a program. Any lodging reservations not tied to a program may be cancelled.
