Once in Aspen you will meet plenty of wonderful new friends, who are also John Denver fans, who will help direct you to great events, hikes, and other free events. Some favorite locations folks like to visit is the place where the Rocky Mountain High album cover picture was taken on the Roaring Fork, the beautiful serenity of the John Denver Sanctuary, the scenic Maroon Bells, the Windstar land conservancy in Snowmass, and many more scenic areas in the region.

Evening of the Elk Walks, Aspen
As the days grow short, visions of summer are replaced by wisps of snow on the peaks, golden quaking aspens, and the urgency of winter. Each fall, the North Star Preserve hosts one of nature’s truly magical rituals, the Rocky Mountain Elk Rut. The sanctuary creates the perfect setting for these mountain monarchs to fill the autumn air with shrill music of elk bugles. These sounds represent battles for herd dominance and perpetuate the survival of the species. Local elk enthusiasts Will Cardamone and Ryan Smalls will share their passion and knowledge about the elk during these special evenings on the preserve.

Whole YOU Retreat, Breckenridge
Sister, are you feeling a whisper in your soul, a longing for something more? As the divine feminine spirit awakens within us, it’s easy to feel a disconnect – a gentle drifting away from the passions that once set our hearts ablaze. Like a precious jewel dimmed by time, our inner compass can lose its shine, leaving us feeling a little lost, a little stagnant, and definitely craving that spark of joy and direction.
The Whole YOU Retreat is designed to help you reconnect with your whole self – mind, body, and spirit. We’ll guide you with insightful tools and resources, pampering and nurturing you every step of the way. Think of it as a luxurious reset, a chance to reignite your inner flame and emerge as the most joyful, radiant version of yourself. It’s time to reclaim your sparkle, darling. It’s time to come home to you.

Arts Salon Night, Telluride
Salon Nights are inspired by the legendary Parisian salons – those lively gatherings where artists, thinkers, and dreamers came together to debate, collaborate, and inspire the movements that shaped art and culture. We’re bringing that spirit into the present and rooting it here in Telluride.
These are evenings for conversation and connection, not lectures or formal programming. They are casual, open, and intentionally unstructured, designed to create the atmosphere where ideas can collide, new friendships form, and creativity sparks. Imagine an evening where musicians talk with writers, painters meet photographers, filmmakers share stories with ceramicists – and the unexpected happens!
