The Missing Key to Longevity: Energy
Filling
Limited Capacity filling up
The language around longevity revolves around food, sleep, exercise, VO2max, weightlifting, and stress control. Barely anyone is talking about energy, which is the root of all of these things. But this isn’t about Mitochondria. If you want to live healthy for a really long time, you need a personalized, directed, and specific blueprint to follow. One that takes into account your mind - thoughts, emotions, and thinking brain; your body - physical and energetic; and your spirit - your essential heart. And it all needs to be tailored to You!

Learn the Key pieces to work with and the fault lines that encompass your specific journey, so you can head them off at the pass. This is all easier than you think.

Join Lauren Walker for an inside look at how energy fits into the bigger picture of living well for a long time and how to create your own personal RX for longevity.

Align Your Words Like You Align Your Posture
Open
Limited Capacity seats available
This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between your yoga practice and your relationships.
You stretch your hamstrings. You strengthen your core. But how often do you practice the flexibility of your mind and the strength of your empathy? Why is it so easy to find balance on the mat, but so hard to keep it in our conversations?
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is often called the "Yoga of Speech." It helps us navigate conflict without losing our center.
Stop leaving your yoga on the mat. Come learn how to:
  • Untie the Knots: Identify the hidden needs behind your "negative" emotions so you can respond rather than react.
  • Find Your Center in Conflict: Learn to speak your truth clearly without blaming or shaming others.
  • Deepen Your Relational Flow: Transform arguments into opportunities for intimacy and connection.
This isn’t a lecture—it’s a lab. We will roll up our sleeves (and unroll our mats) to practice the art of compassionate speech.
Are you ready to stretch your heart as deep as your hamstrings?

Walking the Story: A Historical Tour of Telluride with Ashley Boling
Filling
Limited Capacity filling up
Every town has a heartbeat. Telluride's just happens to be wilder, stranger, and more beautiful than most. Join Ashley Boling for a guided walk through the storied streets of one of Colorado's most legendary mountain towns — a place that has reinvented itself again and again through hardship, creativity, and the fierce devotion of the people who called it home. From the early presence of the Ute people to its mining-boom roots, from the world's first alternating current at the Ames hydro-electric power plant to Butch Cassidy's very first bank robbery, from its counterculture renaissance to the vibrant festival culture that pulses through it today — Telluride's history is a living, breathing testament to what becomes possible when a community chooses to show up for itself and for one another.

Along the way, we'll step inside two places where that community spirit is still very much alive: the magnificent Sheridan Opera House and the legendary New Sheridan Hotel and Saloon. Part history lesson, part love letter to place, this walk is a beautiful reminder that the town holding us this weekend has its own extraordinary story of thriving together — and that we are, for these few days, part of it.

Route: Walking tour through historic downtown Telluride
Difficulty: Easy
Distance: Approximately 1–1.5 miles
Elevation Gain: Minimal
Time: Approximately 1.5 hours — note that this tour starts and ends in Telluride, requiring a 15-minute gondola ride back to Mountain Village.
What to Bring: Comfortable walking shoes, water, sunscreen, and layers. No mat needed.

⚠️ Heads up: Even easy walks at 9,000 feet require some cardiovascular readiness. Hydrate well and honor what your body needs.

Tea Trek to Brew Belonging: A Contemplative Tea Ceremony in the Aspens
Full
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Tea has always been a communal practice—one that slows time, opens conversation, and reminds us we are not meant to thrive alone. This accessible tea trek leads us along a mostly flat trail, with one steady uphill that rewards us with entry into a serene aspen grove.

Here, we’ll share a grounding tea ceremony rooted in mindfulness and contemplative awareness, followed by a discussion on tea as a sustainable daily ritual that supports nervous system health, emotional balance, and meaningful connection. Inspired by the theme Thriving Together, this experience explores how personal rituals become acts of service—cultivating clarity, generosity, and the capacity to show up more fully for ourselves and others.

Route: Out and Back
Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 1+ mile
Elevation Gain: 600 feet
Time: Approx. 2 hours (keep in mind that this hike starts and ends in the Town of Telluride, which requires a 15-minute gondola ride back to the Town of Mountain Village.
What to Bring: Layers, sunscreen, good hiking shoes, water/snacks, and hiking poles if you like them.  No mat needed.
