POINT OF CONTAC  T





This trip weaves through Albuquerque, Quemado, and Santa Fe, NM.

The Lightning Field is Walter De Maria’s land art masterpiece—an enigmatic grid of 400 stainless steel poles stretching across a remote expanse of New Mexico’s high desert. 

De Maria wanted visitors to feel the landscape in a way that photos could never capture, which is why the DIA Foundation asks that guests arrive with little prior knowledge—and no cameras. 

This retreat explores thresholds—between presence and absence, stillness and transformation, sky and earth. It’s about patience, perception, and witnessing something that can’t be easily explained.

Space is limited: 6 total participants.
