Wayne Hicks

Wayne Hick’s interest in the skies began upon seeing the rings of Saturn as a teenager, and he became an amateur astronomer thereafter. He first experienced the wondrous night skies of Ghost Ranch in 1982, as a participant in the course “Exploring the Cosmos.” Following that experience he accepted an invitation to teach astrophotography as part of the workshop throughout the 80’s.

After dealing with a challenging personal situation, Wayne began contemplating life’s meaning. After experiencing many revealing and illuminating insights, he led contemplative retreats supporting those who wished to consider the deeper aspects of life. More recently, Wayne has been teaching digital astrophotography at the Ranch. He is also currently offering a course titled Contemplate the Cosmos.

Wayne is very enthusiastic about supporting you in contemplating our universe, potentially providing inspiration as well as a possible shift in perspective.
