Welcome
to Heartland Spiritual Alliance
Weaving the web of community
Heartland Magical Spaces is a community-centered, spiritual gathering held annually at the Gaea Retreat Center in Kansas. Hosted by the Heartland Spiritual Alliance, it’s a weekend-long event where people of all paths come together to reconnect with nature, build community, and explore personal and collective transformation.
Through workshops, quests, rituals, music, drumming, communal meals, and magical mischief, attendees co-create a space that honors diversity, creativity, and shared wisdom. Whether you're seeking deep spiritual growth, playful adventure, or a peaceful retreat, Magical Spaces offers something for everyone. This event is more than just a festival—it’s a living, breathing web of connection, woven by the people who show up with open hearts and curious minds
***Attention Important Announcement***
After much thoughtful discussion, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Magical Spaces. We understand that the current political and economic climate has created a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty for many in our community—as well as for small organizations and businesses like ours. Unfortunately, with low registration, it would be financially irresponsible to proceed with the event as planned.
All those who have registered will, of course, receive a full refund.
In place of the event, the staff will be gathering for a retreat of sorts. Our goal is to reflect on how we can move forward in a positive, sustainable, and connected way. We'll take this time to plan for the future, tend to some long-overdue tasks (perhaps even tackle those storage pods!), and enjoy the company of one another on the land we love.
We warmly invite members of the community to join us for this informal weekend. There will be no scheduled programming or official workshops, but there may be spontaneous potlucks, conversations, and laughter shared under the trees.
If you’d like to be part of the gathering—whether to talk, relax, or simply be present—please register directly through Gaea’s website and pay the usual day or camping fees. You’ll likely find us gathered up on the Ridge.
This will also be a valuable time for us to begin shaping Magical Spaces 2026. If you have ideas, feedback, or simply want to be part of imagining what comes next, we’d love for you to join the conversation.
We appreciate your understanding, support, and continued presence in our community.
