A beautiful day of remembrance and connection at The Ranch.
On Saturday, we gathered at Professor’s Park to celebrate Día de Mu***os, honoring the lives and memories of those we hold dear.
Today, on Día de Mu***os, we celebrate the lives of those who have been part of our own.

We kicked off our Día de Mu***os celebration at The Ranch with an evening of honoring loved ones who have passed and sharing Mexican traditions.
Guests enjoyed La Catrina-inspired face painting, grilled seafood, esquites, and folkloric dancing by Ballet Folklórico Callicóatl. Students from Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC), Campus Tijuana, created a beautiful altar where guests were invited to place photos of departed loved ones and share their memories.
Our 104-year-old co-founder, Deborah Szekely, joined the festivities, connecting generations through this cherished tradition.
A heartfelt gracias to the students, performers, and staff who helped make this such a meaningful celebration.

Feel calm, welcome, and connected.
As fall evenings settle over The Ranch, slow down in the glow of candlelight and the warmth of the fireplace. Rest gently in aerial silks as the soothing sounds of singing bowls fill the room. One of many ways to honor yourself this fall.

Mt Kuchumaa needs your help.

For the Kumeyaay Nation, Mount Kuchamaa it is a sacred place, deeply connected to their spiritual traditions, cultural identity, and lasting bond with the land.

This area is also a fragile habitat where mountain lions, bighorn sheep, migratory birds, pollinators, and other wildlife rely on open spaces to travel, find food, and survive.

New border wall construction near Tecate puts this sacred place and its wildlife at risk. We invite our Ranch community to sign the Sierra Club San Diego petition to protect Mount Kuchamaa and the nearby wildlands.

Please sign the Save the Wild, Stop the Wall petition: https://hubs.li/Q04qBwq30
