Shamanic Journeying Workshop
Step into a deeply meditative experience designed to reconnect you with your inner wisdom. Shamanic journeying uses rhythmic sound, such as drumming or didgeridoo, to guide you into a theta brainwave state, where intuition awakens, and the nervous system softens. In this state, you are invited to connect with helping spirits for insight, healing, and guidance. This practice supports emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, helping you access your “true self,” restore personal power, and receive messages that resonate on a soul level. No experience necessary, just come with an open mind and a willingness to explore.
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
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!
