Gaia’s Gathering: A Restival to Reconnect
September 27–29 | Just South of Ojo Caliente Spa, in New Mexico.
GaiasGathering.com | Campout or Day Pass | Volunteer Spots Available
Step off the fast track and return to your roots. Gaia’s Gathering is more than a festival—it’s a “restival”: a weekend of renewal, reconnection, and remembering our place within the Earth’s living system.
This is a space held in ceremony, built on integrity, and powered by the sun. A weekend retreat to awaken your senses, nourish your spirit, and rekindle humanity’s bond with the land. Through workshops, rituals, movement, music, and hands-on learning, we’ll plant seeds, literally and metaphorically, for a regenerative future. We plant two trees during the event.
Gather with us on ancestral Okey Owingeh land, just minutes from the healing waters of Ojo Caliente Spa. Whether you’re coming for the full weekend or dropping in for a day, Gaia’s Gathering invites you to slow down, tune in, and grow with us.
