⨠The Story of how Ashleigh & Taelor metâ¨
14 years ago, on 11/11/11, two souls crossed paths at a little festival called OM Vibrations (peep the second photo of us together, candid 14 years ago)
Taelor had her very first permaculture booth sharing her dream of living on land and building community one day.
Ashleigh wandered up to that booth, curious, wide-eyed, and something in her heart lit up.
That one conversation planted a seed đą
Then, as life does, it carried us in completely different directions.
We didnât stay in touch, we didnât even know each other yetâŚ
But over the next decade, we each dove deep into our own medicine:
studying, building, healing, remembering.
We walked parallel paths cultivating the wisdom and resilience that would one day weave us back together.
About 9 years later, we met again through mutual friends in Austin.
Ashleigh invited Taelor and her partner Stew to a psychedelic mastermind,
and thatâs where Cosmos Ranch was dreamed into being.
What started as Taelorâs vision for ten acres evolved
through the power of shared dreaming
into forty-one and a half acres of living, breathing possibility.
Now here we areâŚ
Two women who once met at a tiny booth outside of a cave,
standing together on sacred land that embodies that original dream, and so much more.
From festival soil to fertile ground,
from vision to reality,
from âsomedayâ to now.
đż Cosmos Ranch Foundation is the embodiment of that 14-year seed sprouting into full bloom!
It's a sanctuary for regeneration, creativity, and community.
Weâre not just building a place.
Weâre remembering a promis made long ago
to the land, to each other, and to the dream of whatâs possible when we walk in alignment with purpose.
đŤ Hereâs to 14 years of evolution, sisterhood, and sacred co-creation.
And to the next 14⌠and beyond.

What is Cosmos Ranch all about?đżđ¤
Itâs a feeling. A frequency. A return to something that lives deep inside all of us. A step into a world where we all remember what we came here to do.
Itâs more than a retreat space. Itâs more than a garden. Itâs more than the Zome or the animals or the events.
⨠In this video, our founder Taelor shares from the heart about the purpose and vision of The Cosmos Ranch Foundation as a space for sustainable living, ancient remembering, community care, and embodied joy.
Here, we⌠đą Learn from the land đŤ Gather in ceremony đ Practice old ways and new đ Reclaim rhythm and ritual đ Build spaces that feel like home
We believe in wholeness. In building from the soil up. In growing food, friendships, and futures that are aligned with the Earth.
This is just the beginning, and weâre so honored to share it with you.
Welcome home đž

What if I told you this was all made up?
The rules.
The timelines.
The expectations of what your life is supposed to look like.
The pressure to do it âright.â
To follow the path.
To wait until youâre ready.
All of it.
Constructs.
And yetâŚ
youâre living inside it like itâs fixed.
Like you donât have a choice.
Like you donât get to decide.
Like your life is something thatâs happening to you.
But itâs not.
At some point, you have to see it
this is all a game of perception.
And the moment you realize thatâŚ
you get your power back.
You get to choose differently.
Move differently.
Build differently.
Not from pressure.
But from truth.
So the real question is
if this is all made upâŚ
why are you still playing small?
Weâre building a trusted circle of collaborators.
There are people building businessesâŚ
And then there are people building with intention.
At Cosmos Ranch, weâre curating a Preferred Partners Network of aligned vendors, creators, and service providers who care deeply about how they show up, not just what they offer.
This is about trust, reciprocity, and shared values.
Weâre looking for those who embody:
⨠Integrity in their craft
⨠Excellence in service
⨠Reverence for the spaces they work within
⨠A genuine desire to co-create meaningful experiences
From florists to chefs, photographers to facilitators, builders to healers
If your work is heart-led and rooted in purpose, we want to meet you.
This is an opportunity to:
đż Be featured within our trusted network
đż Receive aligned referrals
đż Collaborate on events + experiences
đż Grow alongside a community of conscious creators
If you feel the resonanceâŚ
Apply to join our Preferred Partners Network.
Cosmos Ranch Prayer đ¤đą
May this land be protected
in all realms seen and unseen.
May truth rise clearly,
without distortion, without force.
May every structure built here
be rooted in integrity,
not control.
In devotion, not ego.
May those who are meant to steward this land
stand in clarity, courage, and right relationship
with the Earth, with each other, and with themselves.
May anything misaligned
softly dissolve or be revealed.
May conflict become a doorway
into deeper truth, not deeper division.
May this land remember its original prayer,
before contracts, before titles, before tension
and guide all of us back to that place.
I call in protection over the vision,
over the people who carry it with love,
and over the future that is still being woven.
What is meant for Cosmos Ranch
will remain.
What is not
will fall away.
And through it all
may we stay rooted,
may we stay honest,
may we stay in right relationship.
Amen. Aho. Ashe. ĹmeteĹtl. đ
March Volunteer Day at Cosmos looked like this⌠đż
Pulling grass from the garden beds.
Planting seeds for the season ahead.
Mulching the soil and tending the land that tends us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who got their hands in the soil, it was fun!
While we worked, our ranch hand, chef, and volunteer lead Michael Simon @simonseats (our in house chef, Ranch Hand, and volunteer lead) serenaded the garden with music because around here, stewardship often comes with a soundtrack đś
In the background, kids bounced and laughed during a birthday party happening on the land at the same time as a reminder that Cosmos is a living ecosystem of many kinds of gatherings.
And behind the scenes, we also made major progress on site development for RegenWorld.
Weâre honored to be collaborating with the incredible Nature, who will be creating a and installing a Sacred Fire Nest installation here on the land đĽ were also going to be painting signs to place around the property!
Weâll soon be calling on volunteers to help bring this vision to life.
If you want to get your hands in the soil and be part of building something meaningful, come join us.
Volunteer Days:
đż Every 2nd Saturday of the month
đą Weekly on Tuesdays from 10amâ4pm
This is what community stewardship looks like.

Whatâs next?
Only The Land knows.
But we feel the Fire Horse rising. đĽđ
Fire doesnât destroy for destructionâs sake.
It clears.
It purifies.
It prepares the ground for what comes next.
The Fire Horse is movement.
Momentum.
Courage without apology.
The fire doesnât demand instructions.
It illuminates just enough for the next step.
And right now, we're not trying to control the path.
We're tending the flame.
Stewarding whatâs in front of us.
Trusting that when the ground is clear, the next vision will reveal itself.
Sometimes âwhatâs nextâ isnât a plan.
Sometimes whatâs next isnât something you build.
Itâs something you notice.
Something already flickering at the edge of your awareness.
Itâs a becoming.
Gathered around the fire.
Held by the night.
Guided by something bigger
We donât always know whatâs next.
But we can show up in integrity today.
And steward well what weâve been given.
Are you listening? đĽ

The true temple of transformation is not the building.
Itâs within you.
When you step inside this space, youâre not entering something foreign.
Youâre entering yourself, a space that is held by sacred geometry, softened by light, grounded by earth.
The walls donât transform you.
They witness you remembering who you already are.
The inner temple has always been there.
We simply create spaces that help you hear it again.
This Zome is more than wood, canvas, and geometry.
It is an outer temple built to support the inner one.
It's a space of transformation
where retreat leaders teach,
where community gathers,
where transformation is supported by structure.
Every detail was built with intention.
Not just to look beautiful
but to hold people well.
If youâve been searching for land that supports your work,
this is what that feels like.

Iâve volunteered my whole life.
In middle school, I raised money from family and friends to go on a mission trip.
I remember how proud I felt not just to travel, but to serve. To contribute. To be part of something bigger than myself.
Last Saturday was our monthly Volunteer Day at Cosmos Ranch Foundation, and I felt that same joy all over again.
We had laid hay down to protect the food forest from the freeze.
And now, with warmer days returning, the community came together to clear it back.
What could have felt like âworkâ felt like devotion.
Hands in the soil. Laughter between rows. The rhythm of people who care.
Thereâs something deeply fulfilling about stewarding land together. Watching people choose to show up. Not because they have to, but because they want to.
This is the kind of world I believe in.
Community. Reciprocity. Shared responsibility. Shared joy.
Thank you to everyone who showed up. The food forest is breathing again đż

Choosing land isnât just logistics.
Itâs leadership.
After hosting retreats around the world and stewarding 41 acres at Cosmos Ranch, weâve learned something essential
The container begins long before participants arrive.
It begins with the ground beneath your feet.
In our newest blog, we break down how experienced retreat leaders choose land that actually supports transformation ; not just aesthetically, but energetically, structurally, and relationally.
If youâre a retreat leader, facilitator, or visionary holding space for others, this is for you.
Because the land you choose will either amplify your workâŚ
or quietly undermine it.
