The Winter Solstice is a time to reconnect with the planet and embrace the return of light. Let’s celebrate with a unique session of hammock yoga, reiki and sound healing. Start with gentle breathing exercises and inversions, then move into peaceful meditation. Experience the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls during sound healing and receive the gentle touch of reiki. This practice is suitable for all ages, aiming to release tension, balance the mind, and align the chakra energy centers. Light touch and pressure points on the head, hands, and feet may be included to enhance the experience.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
