Regenerative Land Stewardship: A New Pillar at Pendulum

We’re expanding our creative sanctuary to include the vital voices of those who read and tend to Earth's living systems. For our inaugural year of ecological programming, we seek wisdom keepers and practitioners who can translate nature's profound intelligence into experiences that awaken both scientific understanding and artistic inspiration. Whether you study mycelial networks, cultivate soil health, or work in environmental education, your expertise will help us explore how Earth's patterns can inform our creative practices and community building.

We invite you to join us at Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch as we begin weaving together the languages of ecology and art, creating new pathways for understanding our role as stewards of both land and creativity.

FAQs

We welcome those who carry both formal and experiential knowledge of Earth's systems. This includes ecologists, permaculturists, environmental educators, herbalists, and those who have developed deep relationships with specific ecosystems. We particularly value practitioners who can translate complex ecological concepts into engaging, hands-on experiences that connect scientific understanding with artistic expression.
As this is our first year integrating ecological programming, we're especially interested in experiential workshops that help participants understand fundamental concepts like soil health, mycelial networks, plant communities, and ecosystem restoration. Your offering might involve hands-on field studies, interactive demonstrations, or creative projects that help translate ecological principles into artistic expression. We're looking for programming that can effectively bridge scientific knowledge with creative practice.
Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch offers diverse landscapes for exploration, including forest, meadow, and riparian areas. While we're developing our ecological programming infrastructure, we encourage offerings that can utilize these natural settings creatively. We have basic outdoor gathering spaces and some equipment for soil testing and botanical observation. We recommend proposals that can adapt to our emerging facilities while helping us envision future possibilities.
We're seeking offerings that naturally weave together scientific understanding and creative expression. For example, you might guide participants in creating art inspired by soil microbiomes, lead movement exercises that embody ecological principles, or facilitate projects that transform environmental data into visual or musical expressions. The key is making ecological concepts accessible and engaging through creative practice.
As we integrate this new pillar, ecological offerings will be woven throughout the retreat schedule, with opportunities for both structured workshops and informal exploration. We envision creating spaces where participants can move fluidly between artistic practice and ecological learning. We'll work closely with selected practitioners to find the optimal timing and format for their offerings within our emerging program structure.
