Sunday, November 10th from 6:00-8:00pm Wisdom Alchemy: Time – and our body – moves in cycles. We began this workshop series with learning how our cycle works. Let’s circle back to the beginning, and discover the wisdom of our cyclical nature, within the context of Nature’s greater cycles. What do we mean when we say that “women’s bodies are the earth”? Our ancestors honored female bodies as sensual, life-giving, and holders of Nature’s tidal mysteries. Let’s explore modern research and ancient mythologies that help us to make sense of our cyclical nature and our relationship to Nature’s greater cycles. Come explore the seasons of your cycle – and the seasons of your life-cycle – and see how you are designed to embody both the science and the sacred in your cyclical nature.
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!
