Paintrock Canyon Ranch
August 9 - 14, 2026
Join clinical psychologist Dr. Sara Hamilton for five days of reconnecting by disconnecting.
The Program
Join clinical psychologist Dr. Sara Hamilton for five days of reconnecting by disconnecting. Timed with the Perseid meteor shower, this retreat invites you to explore new ways of paying attention to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.
Each day will focus on experiencing through one of the senses, with guided mindfulness, meditation, and art exercises that open new ways of seeing and being. With no Wi-Fi, spotty cell service, and little distraction, the landscape of the Paintrock will encourage a deeper kind of presence.
No previous art or meditation experience required, though those with experience will also benefit.

Paintrock Canyon Ranch
The Paintrock Canyon Ranch sprawls across northern Wyoming and is made up of rolling meadows and streams carving through high alpine valleys. The ranch’s landscape is characterized by the Paintrock Canyon, which starts at the ranch headquarters and meanders for 8 miles, opening into the Paintrock Basin at foot of Cloud Peak, the highest peak in the Bighorn range. The Canyon itself is shaped by steep limestone slopes that climb thousands of feet high above the trail. Red sandstone cliffs, whose color transforms from deep orange to burgundy red with the changing light, rise above the meadows surrounding the ranch’s headquarters. The ranch is located 1.5 hours from Cody, WY, and 3 hours from Billings, MT where the largest commercial airports are. Shuttles through a third party are bookable to the ranch from Cody. Car rentals are also available from both airports.
