Synergia Ranch and Retreat Center
Creative gatherings in a living landscape
For more than three decades, Synergia Ranch has made room for gatherings that range well beyond conventional meditation retreats. Its program is eclectic: groups come for workshops and conferences in psychology, visual arts, dance, music, and writing, with an emphasis on exploration and creative work. Outside the sessions, the landscape gives the ranch its own quiet character. The property sits within a high temperate grassland and juniper ecosystem that has undergone extensive restoration, and it provides habitat for more than a hundred species of migratory birds. That combination makes the setting feel suited to both focused group work and time outdoors. Rather than following one named spiritual lineage, Synergia welcomes varied forms of inner inquiry and artistic practice. For travelers who want a retreat shaped by a particular workshop rather than a fixed meditation schedule, the event calendar is the place to begin.
