GATHERING GROUNDS
The Gathering Grounds at Starr Horse Retreats is a thoughtfully designed outdoor sanctuary where the elements of earth, air, fire, and water are honored in physical form. Each area has been created with intention—not just for beauty, but to support presence, reflection, and connection to the land. Stone altars, a fire pit, a tipi, Temazcal (sweat lodge) and a flower bath platform surround the space, each representing one of the four elements. A rock labyrinth and living crystal grid invite quiet contemplation and mindful movement. Every altar has been activated through sound, offerings, and ceremony, establishing a strong energetic foundation for the work done here. Native desert plants, lavender, lilacs, and seasonal flowers populate the altars and surround the perimeter, creating a pollinator-friendly habitat for bees and butterflies. The Gathering Grounds serve as a ceremonial space for guests to tune into the natural rhythms of the Earth, reconnect with themselves, and settle into the deeper layers of retreat.
