Northern Arizona's Place To Be Real

THE BEGINNING

In 1988, Kate Hawke and Mark Sorenson discovered a portal in the high desert of northern Arizona.

 

80 acres of wide open sky, far outside the hum of civilization. Surrounded by over 100 square miles of unobstructed views, it was the perfect canvas to build something real.

 

Gateway Ranch was born.

TODAY

Over the past nearly four decades, tens of 

thousands of people have visited Gateway Ranch, felt it, contributed to it, and shaped what it is today. 

 

In 2022, stewardship of the ranch passed to Michael Schroll and Michael Hucks, the cofounders of Sondering.

 

Gateway Ranch is now the home of the Sondering community, continuing the legacy of connection, creativity, and transformation through two annual gatherings: The Mosaic Gathering on the first weekend in May, and the Southwest Flow Festival on the third weekend in September.

The Mosaic Gathering is a two-day community celebration where participants co-create the entire experience together.

 

Whether you're offering a workshop, sharing your art, providing music to dance to, or simply showing up to connect and appreciate what our community builds together, you're welcome here. This is built by us, for us.

The first weekend of May, every year.

Each September, Gateway Ranch comes alive with flow artists, fire spinners, dancers, and creators from across the Southwest.

 

The Southwest Flow Festival is a two-day celebration of movement, creativity, and connection — open to all ages and skill levels, from complete beginners to seasoned performers.

We gather to make friends, make art, and level up together, building skills while connecting with each other and our bodies in the heart of the desert.
