Why Santa Fe
High desert light for clear thinking.
Santa Fe sits at 7,000 feet at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The air is dry, the light is sharp and the pace is slow on purpose.
Few American cities give a team this much culture within walking distance. The Plaza, Canyon Road's galleries and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum are all close together.
The resorts sit just above town in the foothills and national forest, so a group can work in quiet and still be at dinner downtown in 15 minutes.
We bring teams to Santa Fe when they need creative fuel and a place that slows the pulse.

From the office
Why we bring teams here.
We bring creative teams, product groups and leadership offsites to Santa Fe when the goal is new thinking. The art, the light and the altitude all help.

Questions
Planning a retreat in Santa Fe.
How do teams get to Santa Fe?
Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF) has nonstop flights from Dallas, Denver and Phoenix and sits about 20 minutes from the Plaza. Albuquerque's larger airport (ABQ) is about an hour's drive.
When is the best time for a retreat in Santa Fe?
Late May through early October is the sweet spot. Summer brings the opera and the big markets, July has brief afternoon storms, and September and October are crisp, dry and busy, so book early.
What size groups fit in Santa Fe?
The Inn of the Five Graces offers a full buyout for 50 to 60 guests. Bishop's Lodge and Four Seasons Rancho Encantado suit groups up to about 150, and La Fonda on the Plaza handles large groups.
What can a team do in Santa Fe?
Walk Canyon Road's galleries, cook with chile at the Santa Fe School of Cooking, hike the national forest and climb at Diablo Canyon. Day trips reach Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu and Taos.
Who plans and runs the retreat?
The Renewal Office designs it around your goals using the TRO Six Pillars, then handles venue, programming, facilitators and production from the first call to the week after.
