Sunrise Ranch honors Universal Being in all its forms—through people, through nature and through all Creation. We see this attitude of honor for Universal Being as the pivotal factor for the future of humanity.

Most of all, we honor and welcome the expression of Universal Being through ourselves. We believe that this orientation in living is what opens the door for a full knowing of the wisdom and love that is within everyone. It is what lets the individual give their greatest gift to the world and know the greatest fulfillmentthatispossibleforahumanbeing.

All of Sunrise Ranch is dedicated as a teaching and demonstration site for this essential wisdom—both the inner knowing of Universal Being and the practical

application of that knowing. This is why we practice and teach sustainable agriculture and farm-to-table food preparation. This is what is behind all the workshops, conferences, concerts and courses that weoffer.Thisiswhatweteachinourinternshipprograms and in all our courses for spiritual awakening and personal development. Sunrise Ranch exists to embody this truth and to bring it to the world.

We believe that Universal Being is doing its best to incarnate and express fully through each person, not as a separate reality but as the core reality of who they are. And when it does, that person becomes whole and creates wholeness in their world. They bring healing to the land, to other people and to the planet. Whole people—whole world.

This is what allows our individual worlds to thrive. ThisiswhySunriseRanchisflourishing.Anditistheexperience of this simple, profound truth that will let Planet Earth become the garden home that it is destined to become.

To us, this is not just a nice idea but a guiding principle to be embodied in everything we do. If you agree, we welcome you to join with us in bringing this experience to the world.

Sunrise Ranch Vision

Sunrise Ranch is a conference and retreat center and a working farm in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Sunrise Ranch is committed to being a teaching and demonstration site for the individuals who come here and for the world. We seek to model the enlightened use of technology, particularly sustainable agriculture, thriving community, music production and information technology.

We model thriving community through an enlightened approach to human relations based on deep respect for the individual, and the creativity and innovation of all participants. We encourage and support the spiritual practice of people of all faiths, and we share in collective worship as a community.

Through the courses, workshops and conferences atSunriseRanch,weareofferinganopportunityforindividuals to take the next steps in their lives.

Sunrise Ranch is a home for teachers at the forefront oftheirfields.Someholdonlyoneortwocourseshere. For some, Sunrise Ranch has become a home for their work over many years. Holding a program at Sunrise Ranch is an opportunity for teachers to build thought leadership and pass

those enlightened ideas on to others. We consider ourselves successful when people tell us they feel renewed and energized as a result of attending a program here—and that happens often. A few of our regular workshops include:
