Slow Gatherings Santa Fe

This is a slow, low-pressure walk designed to support a quieter nervous system state. No rush, no agenda. Just gentle movement and presence in nature. The trail involves wide paths with gradual slopes. We'll be staying together loosely while moving at an unhurried pace, allowing space to notice the surroundings and naturally pausing at times. Silence and conversation are both welcome.

Parking
Park in the main dirt lot off Camino Cruz Blanca. If the lot is full, you can park along the wide road shoulder without blocking traffic.

Where we end
We’ll finish back at the main entrance area, where you’re welcome to stay for a moment before heading out.

Bring comfortable shoes, water and optional sun hat.

Please update your RSVP if your plans change.

A slow, unhurried morning to begin the weekend with a little more presence.

We’ll begin with a brief moment to arrive and settle into the morning together. We'll share a simple conversational prompt to open, then allow the gathering to unfold naturally.

Slow Gatherings are designed to create space for slowing down and experiencing a more intentional pace of life. Through simple, grounding experiences, we create opportunities to step away from the rush of everyday life. A chance to connect with ourselves as well as others in a more meaningful way.

You’re welcome to bring a book, journal or sketchbook if you’d like, though there's no expectation or agenda. Come to connect, reflect, create, or simply enjoy tea in the company of others.

Conversation is welcome, quiet moments are welcome, and you’re invited to come as you are.

Please allow a few extra minutes for parking in the downtown area.

Please update your RSVP if your plans change so someone on the waitlist has the opportunity to join.

Set aside your phone, pick up a book, and join us for a slower kind of Saturday morning.

We'll meet for a brief welcome and optional introductions before settling into an hour of quiet reading together. Bring a book you're currently reading and enjoy a drink, or a bite to eat if you'd like.

In a world that constantly asks for our attention, this is simply an invitation to slow down and rediscover the quiet pleasure of reading alongside others.

Before we head out, we'll have an optional closing reflection for anyone who'd like to share a passage, idea or moment from their reading that stayed with them.

Parking: Street parking and nearby public parking lots are available downtown. Please allow a few extra minutes to find parking.

If your plans change, please update your RSVP so someone on the waitlist has the opportunity to join.
