A Special Place for Our Wedding Print
shambhala_ranch.jpgWe had the pleasure of attending our dear friend's Jesse and Jory's wedding in October of 2006 at a magical place called "Shambhala Ranch " in Ukiah, CA. It was a beautiful and inspiring wedding. For a couple of months after, as we began to search for wedding locations, we kept thinking back to our time at Shambhala. One day Joey went for a hike with Jesse and came back very excited about the possibilty of having our wedding at Shambhala. Stacie asked Joey, "Do you want to get married at Shambhala?" and his eyes lit up with great excitement....

We decided Shambhala was the place and that night we were like kids giddy with excitement that we had known all along that Shambhala was where we would wed. Thanks Jesse and Jory for finding such a wonderful place!

Shambhala Ranch is a very special place in Mendicino County about 3 hours north of San Francisco. The name “Shambhala,” comes from a legendary Himalayan kingdom in Tibet where there was a harmonious society. Shambhala is a Sanskrit term meaning "place of peace/tranquility/happiness".

Shambhala Ranch and the surrounding Comptche countryside it is located upon have been considered spiritual not just since the Ranch's beginning, but from long, long before. During the Stone Age, migratory Pomo Indians travelled especially through this area for its sacred aspects -- such as the abundant natural hot springs -- on their way to the nearby Mendocino coast, where they would harvest fish, seaweed, and acorns. Along the way, they stopped for the various marvels provided by Coyote (their creator). One such stop was the "Living Waters," a stream near Shambhala they believed had curative powers.

We feel blessed to have found such a sacred and honorable place to have our wedding ceremony.
