Let’s meet!
There is a lot going on in the world. We cannot do it all. Not to mention: the times are urgent… we must slow down. That being said, we would still like you to know about some of the electrifying, worlds-worlding, side-eye-glancing, upside-down and inside-out events and occurrences that ten is hosting, supporting or uplifting.
Becoming Sanktuaree
{ten public event}
WHO: ten & únashay
WHEN: Every other Thursday from October 2nd – November 13th, 2025 | 12:00pm – 3:00pm MDT OR 5:00pm – 8:00pm MDT (online)

WHERE: Online everywhere & Abiquiu | New Mexico | U.S.A.
Many of us are immersed in socio-cultural systems and political climates built off pain and humans’ refusal to be with it. What if such collective neglect of soul is a part of what keeps us from this feast of life? The purpose of Becoming Sanktuaree is to practice inhabiting the sanctuaries we so long for in these times, by offering experiential community-held space(s) of encounter, presence, inquiry, and creation. We invite participants into practice and dialogue, particularly cultivating our capacities to deeply listen, be present with what is, build relationship, and play with what pulses below and between our bodies.

Eye of the Needle (EOTN) is a ritual arts immersion woven across online and in-person experiences, culminating in a six-day creative residency in the wilds of New Mexico’s high desert. This gathering of visionaries, artists, grief tenders, and dreamers invites participants to become both undertakers of a dying overculture and midwives of future stories – through the teachings of rupture and reunion and the living practices of fiber arts, embodied making, dream ceremony, seership, land-listening, and improvisational quilting.
