Standing Rock Ranch Tour Part 3 | The Gathering Grounds

This video is a vision of what is coming to life at the future Gathering Grounds at Standing Rock Ranch in Grass Valley, California.

Set in a beautiful place overlooking the lake, the Gathering Grounds are being imagined as a sacred space for our Horse Healing Retreats, ceremony, movement, music and community. At the center will be a large labyrinth surrounded by spaces representing the four elements: the Temazcal for Earth, the ceremonial fire for Fire, the flower bath for Water, and the tipi for Air.

The images in this video are conceptual renderings, created to help visualize what we hope to build as we restore and prepare Standing Rock Ranch to become the new home of Starr Horse Retreats.

What makes this place especially meaningful is what is already here. Within the bedrock are ancient acorn grinding mortars, reminders of the Indigenous people who lived on and cared for this land long before us. As we create something new, our intention is to do so with reverence for the land, the horses, and the history held here.

This is the vision. Now we begin bringing it to life.
