Contemplate the Cosmos

PLEASE NOTE: This is not an astronomy course per se.
Contemplate the Cosmos under the dark skies and secluded landscapes of the painted desert of Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. Stay in Casa Del Sol, a private facility reserved exclusively for course participants and located near the iconic Puerto de Cielo (“Gateway to Heaven”) formation—the perfect setting for an immersive night sky observation and contemplation experience.

In order for us to be able to look deeper into the cosmos, telescopes will be available for viewing as we embrace some of life’s deeper questions and concerns. While important questions may not be answered
during this exploration, an opportunity will be provided for them to be considered in a different way. By observing the vast stellar universe, we may gain new insight into our fundamental nature and purpose. There may also be an opportunity to discover new and different perspectives on some of humanity’s spiritual traditions and philosophical ideas.

Basic contemplation will be explored and encouraged alongside celestial and terrestrial observations creating space for a possible shift in perspective. Importantly, there will be no teaching of, nor emphasis on, any particular religion, philosophy or practice. Participants are encouraged to attend with curiosity as well as an open heart and mind.

Please keep in mind that ideal weather and observing conditions are never guaranteed. Additional details will be provided to participants when class registration is completed.
