Annie L Browning

A wider view, without psychedelics

Mexico Santa Fe paid

At Ojo Santa Fe Resort, Annie L. Browning leads retreats built around a custom, non-psychedelic method for entering expanded states of consciousness. The work is intended to develop multi-dimensional perception, a sense of presence Browning calls “quantum field holding,” and the ability to draw insight for personal and collective healing. It is an unusual focus, best suited to curious participants who are comfortable exploring experiential approaches to meditation. Sessions take place in meeting spaces overlooking high-desert terrain and natural springs, with quiet areas for reflection, walking trails, and swings for downtime. A yoga studio is available for complimentary yoga and expanded-state sessions. Meals are chef-crafted, seasonal, and inspired by local flavors; dietary needs including vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free can be accommodated. The retreat setting is about 20 minutes south of downtown Santa Fe, combining intensive inner work with resort facilities and room to step outdoors between sessions.

Setting

The retreat is hosted at Ojo Santa Fe Resort, in a high-desert landscape with views of natural springs. Meditative spaces, walking trails, and restorative hanging swings make it easy to take quiet breaks outdoors between sessions.

The practice

Browning’s approach uses a guided natural induction method to help participants enter an expanded state of consciousness without psychedelics. Sessions explore perception, presence, and insight, with an emphasis on applying what arises to personal growth and healing. The method is distinctive rather than tied to a named meditation lineage; newcomers can ask the organizer what to expect from a session and whether it suits them.
