Our main celebrations follow a seasonal cycle. We host small, informal gatherings at Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, a ZMS Birthday gathering at Summer Solstice, our annual Winter Solstice Dunk, and our main gathering is held in August at Lammas-time. Spiritually renewing endeavors may include hikes, meditation, yoga, qi gong, receiving bodywork, breath work, tarot and rune readings, and a variety of creative pursuits including pottery , painting, weaving, and the like. We are powered electrically by solar panels, which means no blow dryers, please. Water is provided by a solar powered well pump, and in this environment, water conservation is a necessary awareness.
All meals are vegetarian, and include vegan offerings as well.
Bathing is found in our indoor shower, and outdoor solar showers during the summer. We are situated near Navajo and Zuni Indian Reservations. The locale is arid, mountainous, rugged, and primitive. We are proud to say that ZMS has become a cultural center for many of the local residents. We simply discourage visitors from bringing pets.
