Welcome!
Gathering of Circles is an annual event held the first week of August in a beautiful natural setting outside of Cloudcroft, New Mexico. It brings together, in community, people of all walks of life, backgrounds, practices and varied levels of experience from the region, the country, continent and world. We convene as warm souls sharing and caring, helping and healing, learning and growing, with and from each other and nature herself. Our practices are diverse and drawn from ancient wisdom and teachings common to many cultures.
We invite you to join with us at any of our events. All are welcome!
GOC is a spiritual gathering in a sacred place. Drugs and alcohol are not permitted.

I can not say enough good things about the GOC. The work that you all do on the mountain is incredible and I can’t wait to see y’all again and share in the energy and love ?☮️❤️
The first time I stepped onto the mountain I was received with open hearts and loving family. A family of like minded people each sharing their own wisdom and magic. I come from quite far every time I can to hear and see this incredible gathering. To dance with the fire and ask for transformation . To honour all that is around me and all that is in me . Thank you for this safe space and this beautiful GOC event Much love ❤️ looking forward to seeing you all
So many people are “seeking” right now. You seek a deeper connection with spirit, or want to find meaning in life or are not sure what that longing is inside. Come be a FINDER, and seek no more! You have found the Gathering of Circles and we meet once a year, the first week of August. Come find and experience the magic of the mountain!
Hi to all at GOC
I’m wondering… I’d like to gift someone Bear Heart’s book…the wind is my mother
Are there any copies?
And I’d love to include a donation as well.
Been years since I
Became Cloud Dreamer in your
Vision Quest camp.
All my love

Hi Dorian, Thanks for your message. “The Wind is My Mother” and “The Bear is My Father” are both available on Amazon. We do not sell these books on our website although we are working on sharing the GOC contributions book “Sacred Mountain, Sacred Home” online for purchase in the near future. If you would like to make a contribution to the GOC you can do so via Paypal. Thank you so much for supporting this event.
There are no words to convey the love and blessings that the mountain and the people provide. It’s a magical experience like no other!! LOVE GOC and everyone that’s part of its magic
Thank you so much for your kind words, for attending the GOC and for sharing your loving energy on the mountain. We offer you blessings and love in return.
2025 was my first year to hear about and attend the GOC. I almost did not attend, but decided to; I am so glad I did! It was by far one of the best events I have ever been to in my adult life! The feeling of connectedness, unity, and love fill the very air. The grounds are sacred and full of beauty. The quiet and stillness encourages introspection, the people are genuine and foster real community. In a society the is always on the go and full of distraction and shallow achievement, GOC is a breath of fresh air and a safe place to connect to Spirit, heal the heart, and rest the soul. Would I go again? Absolutly, without question! I hope to meet you there!
