Our Dream
A larger vision has been quietly taking shape beneath everything we do at Wild Heart.
While our gatherings ripple outward across temporary spaces in Santa Cruz, we are working towards creating a land-based sanctuary that can hold our work in a deeper, more rooted way. Our dream is to create a place in Santa Cruz where we, and others, can host group medicine journeys, ecstatic experiences, and community rituals grounded in reverence and remembrance.
The Land
We imagine a piece of land nestled in nature, with a central gathering space where people can come together to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the Earth. The vision may unfold simply at first—camping spots beneath the trees, space for vans, a cabin or two—and grow over time into something larger, such as:
-
a constellation of small dwellings or cabins
-
shared land stewardship
-
seasonal or year-round living opportunities
-
communal gathering spaces for ceremony, song, and celebration
Our Next Steps
We are moving forward with care and intention. Our next concrete step is actively seeking land in Santa Cruz that could hold this vision: private, beautiful, and legally zoned for group ceremonial experiences. We are exploring possibilities, having conversations, and learning what is required to bring this dream into reality in a responsible and sustainable way.
If you know of land, property, or potential leads—or if something stirs as you read this—we would love to hear from you. This vision is community-rooted, and we trust that the right connections will emerge through shared listening and collaboration.
