The Feathered Pipe Ranch gives us opportunity and the freedom to step beyond our rigid and predefined perception of self. We can expand the definition of who we are supposed to be, our relationship with nature, ourselves, each other, and maybe even our practice itself. What we have come to believe is that the right place, time, and manner in which to do our practice is challenged at the Ranch. Slowly and gently, we come to realize that all of life is our practice.

While on retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch there are many ways to tap into your creativity. The place itself serves as a muse for many, providing space, beauty, and inspiration. The nature and location, the people, the food, the classes.

This year many of our retreats, in addition to yoga and movement, also offer components to consciously kindle creativity through the channels of music, chanting, singing, journaling, art, photography, poetry, and ceramics.

"I recognize that this type of courage is actually the same energy that birthed the Feathered Pipe Ranch in the first place. When the founding group dared to dream of a better world, a more heart-centered way of relating to ourselves and others. There was no road map. No template. Just a steadfast dedication to exploration, education and service."

“As goofy as the little vision of the Ranch was, we all had foresight that this was worth doing. Even small things have a way of impacting the world—I can be in an airport in India, meet a handful of people and several of them have heard of the Ranch. It’s a ripple effect—and what you do has a direct effect on other people.”

Healing doesn’t always have to be a serious, heavy process. Sometimes it can feel like the wellness industry has slipped into the same hamster wheel as the rest of the productivity-obsessed world—leaving us constantly striving and chasing a “better” version of ourselves. We believe we have to reach some goal of being fully healed before we are deserving or worthy of what we desire, and quite frankly, we put ourselves through a lot of suffering in the pursuit. What if part of the healing path could be—gasp—fun? What if healing encouraged more laughter and silliness? More lightness? 💃🏻 Dancing 🪘 Drumming 🌈 Jumping in cold water and shrieking like a child across a wet lawn after a rainstorm 🦌 Watching animals and feeling connected to other living beings It’s healing to be present to the joys of this world. It’s healing to follow your intuition to whatever modality or resource is best for you at any given time. The Feathered Pipe Ranch invites space for myriad avenues for healing (including all of the above). Check out our retreat schedule and feel into what your body and mind are craving. Hint: If you want some of this dancing and drumming goodness, sign up for The Mindful Unplug Retreat, July 8-15th.

Stefanie Tovar is a healing artist, singer, yoga teacher, racial healing facilitator—and so much more. She has over 14 years of facilitating wellness offerings and 20 years of presenting as an international and local performing artist, creating experiences to support healing, awaken awareness, and empower release in Body, Mind, and Heart. Stefanie is also a Recording Artist with Orchard Records and is the founder of @liveyena , a nonprofit that supports this work in schools, shelters, and intimate spaces nationwide. In the latest episode of the Dandelion Effect Podcast, she talks with @andy.vand about her upbringing in Texas, the deep connection she had with singing and nature at such a young age, and the realization that her voice was a gift that she could share to effect change in the world. They talk about the ways that we humans are always receiving messages—what @stefanietovar calls “scripts”—about who and how to be. Although these messages can feel limiting at times, one of the beautiful aspects of life is that we can choose which scripts we want to follow. Which role we want to take. Which song we want to sing. And writing our own scripts is an option too! Stefanie’s life experiences have led her to working in wellness, with a mission to lovingly disrupt the status quo of what it’s “supposed to” look like to be a part of this growing industry. As a Latina, she speaks of the importance of diversity in all healing spaces—diversity of race, socioeconomics, religions, belief systems, sexual orientation, abilities and functions. Her work truly highlights the intersection between wellness and social justice, and it’s only growing from here, as she was recently selected as one of 40 cohorts across the nation to be a part of the Culture of Health Leadership Institute for Racial Healing.  Tune into this amazing conversation wherever you listen to your podcasts! #racialhealing #healingarts #healingartist #wellness #podcast #radicallove #selfexpression #findyourvoice https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpt0vGvMJaG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dr. Edie Resto is a distinguished Chiropractor, Naturopathic Doctor and bodyworker. She is a graduate of the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing, and she got her start as a massage therapist at the Feathered Pipe Ranch before heading off to an additional decade of schooling at Life Chiropractic College West and Bastyr University. She has had her private holistic health practice for 23 years in Ojai, California, though she sees patients all over the world. Dr. Edie travels more than anyone we know, and at 70 years young, credits her energizer-bunny buzz to the fact that she prioritizes fun and genuinely enjoys her life. In this conversation, we talk about her early life challenges and the angels who swooped in teach her about service and unconditional love. We discuss her coming out story at age 28, her desire to remain free and detached from labels, the importance of mentoring her nieces and nephews, and the death experience after a motorcycle accident that showed her when all the categories are stripped down—sexual identity, gender, socio economic class, race—we are just light, energy, and pure love. This accident was the first major injury of her life, and with a broken back, she was forced into a long rest and rehab, learning how to listen to her body and be in relationship with her mind, which of course wanted her to bounce back right away. Edie took three years off work to fully heal, and she reveals how this experience has helped her receive fully from others, to more deeply relate to patients and to practice what she preaches when it comes to committing to physical health.

This Valentine's Day - we are reminded what @erich_schiffmann says about love: "It's tricky to talk about Love without it sounding hokey. But, the definition I like for Love is: Love is the willingness to recognize That Which is Real about something. Love is the willingness to recognize That Which is True. It is the willingness to recognize what is Real, instead of whitewashing it with your current level of ignorance. And so, when you say, 'What is the truth here?' as your homework, — 'What is the truth here? What is the Truth here? What is the truth here?' — without even knowing it, you are practicing Love. You are not being a fake lover, with ideas about how you're supposed to be when you are being a 'loving presence.' But, you are being the willingness to recognize That Which is True. Each time you say, "What is the truth of this moment?" — you are being a loving presence." Grateful for another day to practice Love in this world. ♥️ (at Feathered Pipe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CophmitLuPc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Danielle Antelope is a member of the Blackfeet Nation and Eastern Shoshone Nation. Born and raised in Browning, MT, she graduated from MSU with a bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Food & Bioenergy Systems, and at only 26 years old, is now the Executive Director of FAST Blackfeet. As a nonprofit organization, @fastblackfeet provides access to healthy and culturally relevant foods, nutrition education, and gardening/wild harvesting opportunities within the Blackfeet Nation. In this conversation, we dive into Native American history through the lens of the different generations of her family, beginning with her great grandmother, who was the last generation to be born in tipis, live off the land and eat a traditional diet. Her grandmother was the generation of strict reservation boundaries, when ceremonies and gardens were made illegal, and the government introduced commodity rations after killing off their main food source: the buffalo. Her mother’s generation is what she calls the “survival foods” era, when the diet shifts to dishes like fry bread and other recipes made from colonial ingredients like wheat, oil and sugar. And now Danielle's generation, the ones who have inherited food insecurity, chronic disease and generational trauma—but who also have a unique opportunity to heal, to reclaim indigenous knowledge and wisdom, and grow from what’s been done to their communities. #landback #indigenousfood #foodsovereignty #blackfeet #blackfeetnation https://www.instagram.com/p/Cok6F7LPbY4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
