Women’s Day @ NSR
For locals who identify as female in the SLV
Dates Coming Soon!
A day of celebration & connection as women in the SLV!
The Women’s Day Retreat at New Sky Ranch’s off-grid property is intended to bring together a diverse group of women and non-confirming gendered people from the San Luis Valley to get acquainted, connect and celebrate womanhood via workshops, relaxation, art activities and rituals in a “safe” and respectful space for all. This free gathering invites women to bring an offering instead of monetary exchange.
