AN EVENT AND RETREAT SPACE

Bringing magical realism to our nonfiction world

Our events, workshops, and retreats make space for people to believe anything is possible.

Sometimes that looks like helping unlikely heroes slay their dragons. Or guiding truth seekers through states and spaces of bewilderness. Or simply reconnecting weary humans to meaning, purpose, and joy.

Like a mythical shapeshifter, The Land of Make+Believe is able to inhabit many forms, each of them supportive to individual and collective journeys of transformation.

Land acknowledgment

The Land of Make+Believe is located on the unceded traditional and ancestral land of the Central Sierra Miwok. We acknowledge the enslavement and genocide of the Miwok by white settlers that took place here and in the surrounding areas, while honoring and respecting the indigenous people—past, present, and future—connected to this land.

Miwok greeting

“Miwokden dink, Win golosik, Wito hemoway.”

Miwok response

“Aa ole alton.”
