All ages are encouraged, and we will have a shorter “family” division that will be focused on the Rio Grande pathway for safety and fun. Helmets and signed waivers required, phones needed, and costumes strongly recommended! Kids under 14 are welcome with an adult. Post-scavenger hunt party with music provided, fizzy water, beer, and pizza from Peppinos (get there early when it’s gone, it’s gone). Oh, this is when we’ll be raffling off a bunch of good things for you and your bike too!
A sacred space to feel and express the fullness of our experience, guided by the intelligence of the breathing body.
There is a natural accumulation of stuck energy in our bodies and lives. This ceremony exists to support the movement of that buildup in service of our ability to show up to our lives in fullness.
Our breath is a remarkable tool in unlocking the vast intelligence of the body, which knows what needs to move, what needs to be released, and what needs to be cultivated.
Join us for a community ceremony that welcomes you exactly as you are.

VOICES invites the community to this original theatre piece and intergenerational collaboration of Sage (aged 75+) storytellers and Youth (aged 12-15) performers.
Sage VOICES Project amplifies the voices of the Sages in our community through the eyes of the Youth. Sages aged 75 and up, with Youth between the ages of 12-15, engage in the process of devised theater to co-create an original theater piece inspired by their own stories. Through this process, the Sages and Youth form enduring relationships, spark each other’s creative spirit, and relish in the playfulness. The intergenerational ensemble explores possibilities of artistic collaborations through spoken words, movements, music, and theater making. Directed by Tom Cochran.
