Confluence 2025
Join us for a homecoming gathering at the historic Paicines Ranch—the birthplace of Women in Ranching—for our 2025 Confluence. After years of virtual connection, we're returning to where it all began for an immersive, in-person experience that celebrates women's voices in land stewardship and community care.
This special gathering will bring together leaders, innovators, and stewards of the land for meaningful dialogue, shared learning, and collective inspiration. Through interactive sessions, engaging panel discussions, and deep conversations, participants will strengthen connections, share wisdom, and forge paths toward greater resilience in our work and communities.
The Confluence offers a unique opportunity to step away from screens and into shared space, where we can build upon our foundation while nurturing new growth for the future of women's leadership in ranching and land management.

Book Club Field Trip
Join us for our first-ever book club field trip to the Pryor Mountain Mustang Sanctuary outside of Billings, MT, on July 13. The center will provide a brief presentation, followed by a self-guided tour to see the site and horses.
Last fall, we delved into "Desert Chrome" by Kathryn Wilder, a powerful narrative intertwining grief, motherhood, and a return to the desert. Wilder's story on the Colorado Plateau, bordering a mustang herd, celebrates America's mustangs and explores ways to protect them and their habitats in the arid West.
Inspired by these themes and our love for horses, we decided to organize this field trip to experience firsthand the sanctuary's connection to the natural world and the wild mustangs that inhabit it.
