Haas Body Practices

After a few years of quiet, Rosie’s Ranch is reopening in a new location in southern Arizona, with plans to welcome artists and visitors in 2027. Originally founded in northern Arizona as a space for creative experimentation, radical rest, and land-based sustainable living practices, the Ranch honors my grandmother Rose, a factory worker and mother who built a life for her family with limited resources and remarkable resourcefulness.

Her story echoes a larger legacy. The name Rosie nods to Rosie the Riveter, a cultural symbol of labor, ingenuity, and determination. Yet the work of building homes, communities, and futures has never belonged to one kind of person, nor has it been recognized equally. Rosie’s Ranch honors those whose creativity, resilience, and labor have persisted despite barriers to belonging, support, opportunity, or visibility. We welcome artists, makers, thinkers, and organizers from all backgrounds, with particular care for those whose experiences have been overlooked, marginalized, or excluded. Grounded in an expanded understanding of who gets to build a life, a home, a practice, or a future, the Ranch is a place for creativity and rest.

Though the location has changed, the spirit of Rosie’s Ranch remains rooted in strength, autonomy, and transformation. We believe that rest can be radical, that learning can be communal, and that everyone deserves a place to create, grow, and belong.
