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.

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.

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.
