A Retreat in Floral Design and Mandala-Making 

Immerse yourself in the ephemeral art of floral design and floral mandala-making amid the breathtaking landscapes of historic Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico – the desert haven where Georgia O’Keeffe lived and worked. Using an abundance of fresh blooms, we’ll first explore the art of floral arranging with Elizabeth Cronin, then come together to co-create a large-scale floral mandala guided by floral artist Preeti Samraj.

During this retreat, you’ll learn how to process flowers, craft unique arrangements, make a large scale floral installation and participate in the ancient, meditative art of mandala-making.

Between sessions, enjoy ample time to experience the beauty of the region — join a 90-minute guided horseback tour, visit Lake Abiquiu, Echo Amphitheater, take a tour of Georgia O’Keeffe's home , hike the sandstone cliffs, or simply rest under vast desert skies.

Create, connect, and celebrate the Summer Solstice in this land of enchantment.

Create beautiful floral designs while being in the center of the very place Georgia O'Keefe painted her most iconic work!

Relax, Recharge and Rebloom with us on the historic Ghost Ranch. 

We will explore floral designs and colorscapes both individually and as a group, explore the ranch on horseback, eat delicious food, laugh, hike and relax in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
