Limited to 19 guests each weekend, together they participate in an active daily schedule consisting of 8 hours of low impact activity – centered around a breathtaking and challenging 4 hour group hike each morning – nap time, afternoon fitness classes and daily massage.

The program is designed to allow guests to connect with nature’s healing elements, along with experiencing more unique modalities including a 90-minute sound bath one afternoon during their stay.

“The Ranch 4.0 was the perfect way to start my year. It challenged me on the most fundamental levels, physically and mentally I was stretched, invigorated and educated. I had an incredible experience learning about my health, my body and my diet and I can’t wait to come back again.” – N.S.

“You can read as many books and watch as many socially conscious docs as one can pack in, and I really try to do my fair share of the above, but The Ranch is a place that puts those theories and clips into practice. I look at a plant-based diet with a new set of devouring not deprived eyes. I won’t look at food the same way again. The Ranch changed me on a primal level.” – H.R.
