VERMEJO, N.M., Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve, is proud to announce The Season of Sabbatical, a new extended-stay winter offering launching January 2026. Set within 558,000 acres of snow-dusted wilderness in the Southern Rockies, this transformative experience invites guests to embrace winter not as a season to endure, but one to deepen rest, reflection, and personal renewal.

More than a retreat, Season of Sabbatical is a three- to six-week immersive journey designed for those seeking clarity, healing, or creative inspiration. Ideal for remote professionals, artists, educators, and individuals in life transitions, this program offers a unique opportunity to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters.

"Nature heals and reveals," says Jade McBride, President of Ted Turner Reserves. "We created Season of Sabbatical to give people time and space to realign with their purpose in one of the most pristine landscapes in North America."

Choose Your Intentional Path

Each sabbatical is personalized around one of three curated journeys:

  • The Creator's Path – For artists, writers, and thinkers seeking solitude and inspiration.
  • The Grounded Executive – Supporting remote leaders in blending productivity with presence.
  • The Restorative Reset – A space for those navigating personal change, healing, or burnout.

Guests stay in private cottages or cabins with daily chef-prepared meals (or self-cooking options) and access to optional experiences like yoga, massage, guided nature walks, journaling workshops, photography, and conservation tours.

A Sabbatical That Gives Back

For every paid experience, Vermejo will sponsor a complimentary sabbatical for an educator or researcher—individuals dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding. Partner universities will help identify recipients.

About Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve:
At Vermejo, every guest experience directly supports the ongoing conservation of one of the largest privately protected landscapes in the United States. Proceeds from each stay help fund vital ecological work led by their dedicated team of biologists and researchers, who are restoring habitats, protecting wildlife, and advancing sustainable land management across Vermejo's 558,000 acres. Vermejo stands as a powerful example of how hospitality and environmental stewardship can work hand in hand. Every visit becomes part of a much larger story of resilience, restoration, and the enduring hope of preserving wild places for generations to come.
