About

Satchitananda Ranch is a sacred space for holding retreats dedicated to raising consciousness. We serve leaders in taking the time they need to build a strong physical, mental, emotional and energetic foundation from which they can support their communities. We focus on uplifting leading entrepreneurs, investors, academics, musicians, artists, athletes and politicians who bring their learnings and well-being to the broader world.

Land

The ranch includes 600 pristine acres of rolling hills, sage brush, ponds, and aspen groves bordering 90,000+ acres of untouched national forest. The panoramic views of the Wind River and Wyoming mountains are awe-inspiring and vast. Simply being at the ranch offers profound healing energy reconnecting with nature and the five elements. Guests can mingle with the ranch horses and a variety of wildlife including eagles, deer, antelope, badgers, frogs, and ducks.

Spaces

The property includes luxurious houses, cabins, yoga/meditation spaces, hot tubs, and cold plunges in which visitors can relax and refresh. The ranch also includes a 25,000 square foot consecrated farm that provides fresh local energized fruits and vegetables to retreat participants to support healthy eating and detoxification.
