Welcome to Water

What to Expect

A gentle pause from the pace of everyday life. Our women’s Refuges are carefully curated to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself—through guided experiences, restorative space, and time to simply be.

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

Tending Grief in Abiquiu, New Mexico

Tending Grief Refuge: The Experience

We will gather in a hidden sanctuary, held in simple, communal living with shared bathrooms, this is an intentional return to togetherness. Sacred Wells Collective, Unashay, and Dar al Islam have woven their lineages and care together to create a refuge devoted to cultural healing, remembrance, and grief held in community.

This is an invitation into the deeper waters of the well. You will encounter the familiar magic of SWC; sacred ritual, belly laughter, magicks and beauty, but here we listen more closely to the griefs we carry, both personal and ancestral. Grief will be welcomed as teacher, a threshold, a sacred language of love. Evenings will glow with firelight as we gather to dance, share stories, and make magick in the high desert, beneath a blanket of stars.

The land itself will be part of the grief tending. We will walk the luminous paths of Plaza Blanca, and the red rocks of Ghost Ranch, letting awe soften the body and restore our sense of belonging. 

As always, nourishment will be prepared with devotion, honoring food as medicine for both body and soul.

This is a refuge for those ready to be witnessed, held, and gently transformed together.


Interested in the power of mushrooms? Let SWC guide through the process and provide a safe space for your journey. SWC is working alongside  a State regulated service model grounded in safety, integration and education. We gather in a beautiful spa like home in Fort Collins, CO. Transportation to the Reflective Healing Center will be provided. You will receive 2 day long journeys, nourishing food, gentle movement, and integration.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
