"What we are about at the Ranch is renewal of spirit and body,
heart and soul in a breathtaking, sacred wilderness."
Discover Ring Lake Ranch - a special place of refreshment and recreation set high in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming.
This non-profit, rustic, r enewal center offers those who choose to come opportunities for spiritual growth, solitude, community, intellectual stimulation, horseback riding, hiking, and a variety of outdoor experiences.
The beauty of the mountains with their silent lakes, waterfalls, wildlife, birds and flowers beckons the soul to celebrate creation in quiet and wonder. Friendly horses, miles of hiking trails and fish-laden waters offer both the novice and experienced outdoors lover physical challenge as well as relaxation.
 Stimulating seminars, thoughtful discussions, and informal interaction among guests and distinguished session leaders provide a unique educational opportunity and intellectual experience for all who seek a deeper understanding of God and themselves-lay persons as well as educators and ordained clergy.
Families may enjoy shared activities and also personal time.
Individuals are able to savor the opportunity for solitude as well as to participate in group activities. The community, including staff of about 12, averages between 25 to 45 each session. Everyone helps in doing simple chores-kitchen clean up and tidying our own cabins.
The Ranch is locate d just east of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The Whiskey Mountain Bighorn Sheep Unit and the Shoshone National Forest, immediately adjacent to the Ranch, offers the opportunity to view bighorn sheep, moose, elk and deer. Bird watching, from our resident osprey family to chickadees and eagles, is a favorite pastime. Numerous ancient petroglyphs are located in the valley around the ranch.
Activities include boating, hiking, walking, fishing, swimming and hor seback riding. Our horses and riding them have been important parts of Ranch life for over 40 years. The wranglers announce trail rides usually at the end of breakfast - Monday through Friday. Longer rides may be announced at supper the night before.
We have an extensive retreat calendar during the year. Topics range from contemplative prayer, directed retreats, saints and women's retreats. Other retreat options include private, private directed, sabbaticals and retreats with spiritual direction. We invite individuals and groups.

2008 Ring Lake Ranch Program Schedule
June 15 - 21: Come Apart and Rest Awhile
 Experience an encounter with the sacred wilderness for a week of rest and renewal, spiritual direction, techniques of prayer, massage, reiki, journal writing, quiet rides and hikes, and shared contemplative prayer that includes simple, meditative singing and collective silence that nurtures the soul and calms the mind. Your presenter is the Holy Spirit and you are the facilitator (with help from Barbara, Lauren, Joyce, and Carl). “Often God’s voice comes in a whisper, in a breath of silence. Remaining in silence . . . open to the Spirit, is already prayer” (Brother Roger of Taizé).

June 29 - July 5 : Mid-Life/Long-Life Directions for People 35-65+
 This week is a time to look at mid-life as transition and renaissance, to ask anew “what is the purpose of life,” to reflect on my deepest beliefs as they illumine my life, to allow my past, present, and future to come together: “We cannot live the afternoon of our life according to the program of life’s morning” (Carl Jung).

July 13 - 19 : A Spiritual Field Guide to Creation
 Contrary to popular opinion, the Bible has much more to say about the natural world than just its seven-day ordering in Genesis. The Bible's perspective on creation is complex and pluralistic. As a "field guide," this session will lead participants in an informal and in-depth exploration of seven discrete yet interrelated creation traditions in Scripture, from Genesis to Job, and offer ways to interpret them in light of their spiritual and ecological relevance for today. Warning: Eyes will be opened and hearts will be stirred!

July 20 - 26: Has the Holy One Been Lost in Transmission?
 How the Bible was preserved, transcribed, translated, and interpreted presents just as many challenges to people of faith today as it did 2000, 1000, or even 10 years ago. In our time together, we will reflect on specific varying translations and how they affect key sayings and stories of the Bible. With the assistance of online resources, including digital images of early biblical manuscripts, we can see graphically how the scriptures were historically transmitted and how our faith has sometimes been molded accordingly. We'll also revisit tools we can use to meditate on the richness of our scriptures.
