The ten acres where our converted school buses, campers, bell tents and yurts reside is on a mesa a few short miles from the artist village of Madrid, New Mexico.

At Shanti we offer yoga, gorgeous hikes (including one to a nearby canyon), host yoga retreats, and often have food offerings (pizza from our brick oven stove and veggie burritos) and live music, all from our Dharma Bum Tea Bus.

Going to sleep and then waking to the sound of coyotes, owls, and nearby roosters, with 360 degree views is magical beyond description. Enjoy star filled nights, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets in our peaceful paradise.
