There's no place to sit and relax out there (intentional, as I'm sure else no one would want to leave), but it's really worth walking around (it's not huge and doesn't take long to walk around all of it - except for me since I dawdled because it was so lovely). OK, so I'm admittedly not an art gallery person (The Hubs is), however, I did like this gallery. They had a nice variety of different art media (medium?) that I actually found interesting.

She came recommended…read morefrom our hotel (5 graces) We told her at the beginning of the class that 2 of us had taken 2 years each of pottery/wheel throwing so it wasn't new to us. Yet she still spent an hour and 40 minutes of the class explaining things to us. We also casually chatted for a bit (20 minutes) when we first arrived while she was setting up (turns out that we were being charged for that time where she was setting up and we were just waiting). By the time she set up all our seats and had given her "instruction" we only had 20 minutes with hands on the clay. After that she took our pieces and did finishing touches on the base (which she took a long time to do while we were again just watching her). We also found out that she charged for this time as well. So the initial 2 hour class turned into a 3 and a half hour class where we only had hands on the clay for 20-30 minutes. It was clear she was dragging time out in order to surprise us with a larger payment charge at the end. I paid 1600$ for 3 people to essentially just watch her. She also does not accept credit cards which is very suspicious to me. I felt so sick to my stomach afterwards and I went straight to my hotel and spoke to the concierge since they recommended her. I felt robbed and sick that I could've donated that money to the less fortunate and it would've been more ethical spending. The concierge spoke to Heidi and she agreed to give us a 50% refund because of how little time we had with the clay. Weeks later she messaged me again to discuss shipping our pieces. Turns out that's another 200$ which somehow isn't considered in the previous cost. I turned down the offer to ship because I truly believe that this studio is a scam. If I could give this experience a 0 star I would but yelp requires at least one star so one it is. I would warn everyone to not take any classes at her studio and avoid it at all costs. It will put a damper on your santa fe trip.

I only knew this research facility when I lived in Santa Fe as SAR. I did contract archeological cartography for them for a couple of years. The cartography wasn't difficult, but getting each drawing and map approved was. They had a reputation for never approving the first work submitted. Always wanting everything perfect. Deadlines weren't the primary motivation, perfection was. There were always changes. But producing maps and drawings for some of the Grand Canyon Series of publications made me feel a real part of this prestigious institution and worth the trouble of working for perfectionists. This 100 year-old institution was initially established to study and research the archaeology and ethnology of the American Southwest. In the late 1960s the focus became more of a global one. The programs and activities of SAR today include research and study to advance archeology, anthropology and similar related disciplines. The School's many programs include a scholars-in-residence program, seminars and public lectures, and extensive Native American Indian Arts research programs. SAR has an annual Lecture Series and also provides field trips to noted archeological sites to its members. Membership is inexpensive and the benefits are enormous. 100 years of research is at your fingertips through their extensive library collections (the librarian was the librarian in the Laboratory of Anthropology for many years) and many research programs and publications. (Plus they always welcome volunteers.) Check out www.sarweb.org for complete information on this research institution that has been moving the anthropological study of the American Southwest and other areas of the world forward for over 100 years.

SAR offers residential fellowships to scholars and Native American artists through a competitive process.

SAR's Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) stewards and makes available to scholars and artists one of the world's finest collections of Native American art from the Southwest.

Patrick was kind, patient, and knowledgable. He spent lots of time explaining the process to me and listening to my fears, anxieties, and concerns. Then, he took me on a journey into my mind. I didn't feel scared or vulnerable - I felt safe. The most telling part of the visit was the fact that, at the end, Patrick said, "Okay, good luck!" He didn't try and reschedule a second visit or anything. This, to me, means that he's doing the work for the work's sake, and if one visit is all it takes, so be it. Most specialists want to get you on the client list, but the revenue stream is not what Patrick is here for. Bottom line: Give hypnotherapy a try if you're frustrated by other treatments out there. Take advantage of the amazing healers Santa Fe has to offer!

The results are immediate, not weeks. "How to Change your Mind" by Michael Pollan is a great resource to learn more about psychedelics and its use in treating mental health. I have known Dr. Martin and Tracy for years and was very excited when they opened their clinic. Both have always shown great compassion and generosity to family, friends, and the community. There are only three ketamine clinics in northern New Mexico (that I'm aware of) and two are in Santa Fe. Los Alamos is very fortunate to have one. I know it will be a great asset to Los Alamos and nearby communities. I went in for ketamine and really like that I could add a vitamin infusion. I know they are adding other services, so I suggest checking out their website which is really easy to navigate. Each ketamine treatment is a unique experience. It feels like letting go of your mind and body and going on a ride with varies shapes and colors. May sound silly or a bit scary, but I find it enjoyable. Later, I process any thoughts or feelings that came up with my personal therapist. Their office is equipped with zero gravity massage chairs! They have headphones and can help you pick a playlist for your infusion. The staff is all very professional and kind. They provide a safe and relaxing environment. I plan to continue getting ketamine. Insurance doesn't cover treatments but the benefits out way the cost. If you have struggled with your mental health as I have, I recommend trying ketamine. I know it has changed my life.
