The Emergence Center is a sanctuary for creative expression and deep healing, located in the high desert of New Mexico. The Center is situated on sacred land with therapeutic hot springs in the quirky little town of Truth or Consequences.  Our space provides a safe, nurturing environment where healing therapies, sound meditation and expressive arts combine to invoke inner wisdom, creative potential and whole-person healing.

Multi-purpose: Music, Movement, Sound Healing, Yoga,
Workshops, Conferences, Performance, Film
Pristine Acoustics
Modern Sprung Dance Floor

The Acoustic Room was designed to serve many functions.  Our primary focus was to create an environment with pristine sound dynamics.  Built to the harmonic dimensions of the golden ratio, the room has a balance of sound absorption, reflection and diffusion, which creates a lovely acoustic atmosphere.  

The space serves as a unique and intimate setting for workshops, classes, meetings and conferences.

Our Acoustic Room was designed for sound healing, music, dance, performing arts and diverse forms of yoga, movement and meditation. 

We invite group leaders to integrate these forms of healing and expressive arts into their program as a means to enhance the collective experience.  We also make the room available as a comfortable, surround-sound theater for film presentation or movie nights.

A plethora of art supplies and mediums
Nurturing environment for creative expression
Art as a path to healing
Comfortable hangout and relax space

The Art Studio is a relaxed and supportive environment for your personal creative expression to emerge.  Our focus is on the power of art and its healing potential.  With this intention, we invite a whole-hearted journey for each person as they unfold their unique vision.

To support your process, we provide acrylics, pastels, silk dyes, mixed media, and an abundance of materials for collage, art journaling, book making, fiber sculptures, batik and more.

While the art unfolds, kick back around the fire, relax with a glass of wine or a cup of tea, share in conversation and connection, or indulge in your latest favorite read.     

A therapeutic process that comes from within you
Inner exploration: awaken your innate healing intelligence
Empower the body to heal itself
A safe environment for emergence of authentic self

By invoking connection with your inherent healing intelligence, we facilitate a therapeutic process that comes from within you.  Our spectrum of somatic and sound therapies work with this intelligence to empower your body to heal itself.  We believe each of us holds this inner wisdom within us, capable of restoring health and wellness.  

In the Emergence paradigm, exploring within is encouraged—looking deeply into the body, mind, heart and spirit.  

We invite open expression of thoughts, feelings and emotions significant to the healing process.  In this way, our authentic self is empowered as a path to restoration.  Each person’s exploration is guided from within.  We simply support the journey, providing therapeutic skills and a safe environment for genuine healing to occur.

Expressive arts nurture and cultivate the healing process
We provide an open environment for artistic exploration
Authenticity and free, creative expression are encouraged
A place of empathy, non-judgement and heartfelt support

We believe the healing process is enhanced and nourished through expressive arts.  Our intention is to provide you a safe, supportive environment to explore your vision of artistic expression.

Unfettered expression of what we hold inside can liberate us, empower us and heal us. 

The Emergence Center was conceived for this type of creative exploration.  We offer an environment for uninhibited expression in visual arts, performing arts, music, movement, song and ceremony to open us all to our healing potential.  Our goal is to hold a space where individual and group expression can thrive in a nonjudgmental atmosphere of empathy, compassion and heartfelt support.

Somatic/Sound therapies lead us deeply into our body
Tissues communicate through sensations, images, emotions
Expressive arts give form and meaning to this information
Bringing insight, purpose, empowerment to our healing process

Somatic and sound therapies can lead our awareness deeply inside.  We may consciously navigate our inner terrain through physical symptoms, illness, emotional pain or traumatic injury.  Through this process, the tissues often speak to us through feelings, emotions, images, sensations or memories.  Healing information from the body can be communicated to us from our non-conscious awareness to our conscious awareness. 

Expressive Arts can be used to capture  this information, giving the body’s messages additional form and meaning. This helps bring us clarity, strength and sense of purpose.  

We invite these artistic resources back to the treatment table to enhance and empower the therapeutic process.  Through this synergy of artistic expression and healing therapy, we support the collaboration of creative intelligence and body wisdom to awaken our potential for transformation.
