Gatherings at The Beer Ranch
Our events, unless otherwise noted, are conducted here on the ranch. We are about an hour drive south of Kansas City. All roads except the ranch drive are paved and accessible except during snow and ice situations. We encourage ride sharing when possible and will do our best to facilitate for those who want to do so. Please plan to arrive on site at least a few minutes — and up to a 1/2 hour — prior to event start. Wear seasonally appropriate clothing and come prepared to walk between 1 and 3 miles on uneven ground (closed toed shoes or boots are recommended). Bring a water bottle. The ranch has clean accessible water and we prefer to not add to the plastic crisis if possible. As always, this is a working farm/ranch. Our facilities are designed for utility and functionality and the comfort of our livestock. Our animal citizens do not live by the human code of decorum. They poop, pee, fart, have sex, make loud noises, and generally live their best life without regard to who is present. Please note, check out forms will be paid to Synchronicity Hypnotherapy & Gestalt.

The Golden Hour Gathering – In honor of the Summer Solstice
The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, when light reaches its fullest expression before slowly turning inward again. Across cultures, this moment has been honored as a threshold, a pause at the peak, a time to acknowledge both abundance and impermanence. Nothing is missing here. Nothing needs to be added. This is the season in full bloom, asking only to be witnessed.
At the ranch, we will gather to honor balance within abundance. Through a fire and water ritual, we will explore the interplay between vitality and restoration, action and receptivity, heat and flow. Fire reminds us of passion, courage, and expression. Water brings cooling, intuition, and continuity. Together, they create harmony, not opposition.
This gathering is not about holding on to the light. It is about honoring it fully. About standing in the height of summer and recognizing the quiet wisdom that lives inside fullness itself.
$136 includes lunch & supplies. Limit 13 people. Adults and mature teens welcome.

Harvest Gathering
Harvest is not only about abundance. It is also about discernment. By September, the land shows us what took root, what ripened, and what quietly asked to be released along the way. This gathering honors that moment of reckoning and gratitude, when effort meets outcome and balance is restored through honest noticing.
At the ranch, we will come together to mark what has been cultivated over the season, both in the fields and within ourselves. Through harvest-themed reflection, releasing and reaping practices, and gratitude-centered creative work, guests will be invited to acknowledge what is ready to be gathered and what no longer needs tending. This is not a judgment of the season, but a recognition of its truth.
After a shared seasonal lunch, the afternoon will open into Gestalt walks and reflective horse sessions, offering the land and herd as mirrors for integration. September carries a natural wisdom, one that understands when to gather close and when to let go. This gathering is an invitation to meet that wisdom with presence, appreciation, and grounded clarity.
Art supplies & lunch included.

Through the Veil Ancestor Day
As the year turns toward winter, the land begins to thin its edges. Leaves fall. Light softens. What was once outward-facing turns inward again. Across cultures, this season has long been recognized as a time when the boundary between past and present feels closer, not because anything mystical is happening, but because we are finally quiet enough to listen.
This gathering is an invitation to honor those who came before us. Not through grief or ceremony alone, but through acknowledgment, reflection, and presence. Ancestor Day at the ranch is about remembering the lives that shaped the ground we stand on, the choices that carried forward, and the resilience that made our own lives possible. It is a day of lineage, continuity, and respect.
Together, we will move through the land with intention, using Gestalt walks and reflective horse sessions to explore what has been carried across generations, both consciously and unconsciously. Creative practices will offer a way to mark what deserves gratitude, what asks for release, and what wisdom remains available to us now. This is not about dwelling in the past. It is about understanding how the past still walks with us, and choosing how we carry it forward.
Through the veil of the season, we remember that we are not separate. We are the continuation.
$136 includes lunch & supplies. Limit 13 people. Adults and mature teens welcome.
THANK YOU!
Maypole Celebration
Our 2026 May Day celebration was a most beautiful day! The weather was very kind and we enjoyed the sun, the timber, and the horses (and other ranch animals).
Thank you to everyone who made this day amazing!
May has always been about life asserting itself. This gathering is an invitation to meet that energy with openness, delight, and intention.
