Agnes Martin: Deep Silence & Devotion

Land as Teacher
- Guided by Native Roots, an ancestral folk and herbal medicine school in Taos, we’ll walk the mountain trail, ask permission of the land, and explore plant medicine, place-based wisdom, and creative reflection — inviting deep listening, intuitive connection, and relationship with place.
Solitude, when approached as devotion, gives us more than rest—it gives us rhythm.
The works of O’Keeffe and Martin weren’t simply made in solitude; they were born from it, shaped by the rituals and boundaries that protected it.
As we close, we’ll reflect on how to continue tending this space—so that solitude remains not a temporary escape, but an ongoing relationship with self, with place, and with practice.
