Lindsay’s teaching is nutritive. I found their manner of using language to be healing and gentle to my nervous system. The material is something I can reread and return to in ways that I find deeper meanings and intertwined connections. This is a course that I will return to again and again.

There is truly no one like Lindsay, and I feel so grateful to have learned from them. After a year of practicing Tarot, Lindsay's wisdom and compassion have deepened my journey. Thank you for helping me find my voice, rekindle my flame, and clear out stories I no longer needed.
—Ali
Lindsay's work is electrifying. I'm in awe of the depth and richness of understanding I've gained in Tarot and my own channel. The Chariot's medicine has been grounding, even amidst transformation. Connecting with the cards through Lindsay's wisdom has been a true treasure.

Lindsay’s approach to Tarot reminded me that I’m never alone—Tarot invites me deeper into who I am, accepting all my emotions. Lindsay creates a safe, supportive space for healing, despite my upbringing. I’m grateful to continue this journey with their transformative teachings.
—P.F.
Journeying through Tarot with Lindsay was deeply intimate. I learned not just Tarot, but also felt Lindsay's immense devotion to accepting each of us fully. Their focus on the present moment and each student's perspective has been healing. I’m grateful for every word of encouragement, and for a journey that continues across all borders.

To encourage a healthy environment we ask that guests not consume alcohol or meat in our public spaces, however, guests may enjoy these items in their rooms.

Yes, we ask that guests with food allergies simply inform us so we can communicate those needs to our chef. Typically, we label potential allergens such as gluten, dairy, and nuts.

We do have lodging and event venues that are ADA-compliant. Due to the topography of our mountain campus, some are easier to access than others, so please speak to Guest Services (800.392.6870) prior to registering to ensure we can best accommodate your needs. We also have shuttles that run frequently throughout the campus.

We are committed to the safety of our guests and staff. Our mountaintop location and the surrounding areas are spacious, remote, safe, and secure.

  • It is safe to leave your windows open—and necessary for proper airflow!
  • Nature surrounds our campus, and it’s common to see rabbits, deer, gophers, wild turkeys, and other small animals. Please give them space, and they’ll do the same for you. We’ve never had a safety incident with animals on campus.

You can help!

  • If you come across an animal on campus or a trail, give it space, and please do not attempt to pet or feed it.
  • There’s no need to bring valuables to the retreat center; leaving them at home is best.
