Community Calendar

Sopris Lodge and HomeCare & Hospice of the Valley present a four-part grief support series featuring a rotating lineup of compassionate speakers. Sessions take place on the third Tuesday of every month May – July 2026 in the Community Room at the Carbondale Branch Library from 3:30 - 5 p.m.

May’s session will be co-led by Marie Herr, Executive Director of Sopris Lodge, and Anne Wolf, an integrative trauma coach. They’ll explore how grief affects both body and mind—causing stress, tension, sleep issues, and other health challenges—and how caregiving fatigue adds another layer to the process. The speakers will also share simple, supportive practices to bring calm and create space for healing.

Upcoming dates:

Get ready for Zumba with Andrea Orrego

Zumba is a global dance phenomenon that invites the body and spirit into a state of pure, rhythmic connection. Originally inspired by the vibrant dance traditions of Latin America — Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, and Reggaeton — Zumba has since grown into a dynamic fusion of world rhythms, blending Afrobeat, Bollywood, Bhangra, Belly Dance, Hip Hop, and more into an electrifying celebration of movement.

At its core, Zumba is about intuitive dance expression. Rather than focusing on strict choreography or technical breakdowns, the structure of a Zumba class mirrors the architecture of music itself — simple, repeatable patterns tied to the chorus, verses, and bridges of each song. This approach allows dancers to anticipate transitions naturally, freeing them from the constraints of counting steps and encouraging a deeper, more instinctive relationship with rhythm.

Zumba invites a profound reconnection to the joy of embodied movement: a space where strength meets sensuality, sweat becomes celebration, and music becomes a global language that transcends borders.
For seasoned dancers, Zumba offers a refreshing invitation to return to the essence of why we dance — not for perfection, but for expression, connection, and exhilaration. It is a journey through cultures, rhythms, and emotions, all channeled through the most ancient instrument we possess: our own bodies.

All dance levels welcome!
