Welcome to the Temple
The deep woods await you.
So does your voice
Nestled in the Sierra foothills of California, River Dragon Ranch stands as a refuge, offering a space for singing, ceremony, and creativity. As a steward of the temple, I host personalized retreats and artist residencies for those ready to dive into their craft with support, depth, space and a whole lot of fun (+ you can be as loud as you dare… for real).
