Come connect with what's happening at Mariposa Ascendente (Butterfly Rising), the regenerative demonstration garden and outdoor classroom, formerly a project of Colorado Farm & Food Alliance (COFFA).

We have been dreaming up some ideas for programming in the cocoon, and we'd love to hear what you'd like to see us provide. We're here to support rural resilience in the North Fork Valley and beyond.

Let's crank up the wood stove, enjoy some snacks and music, and talk about what's possible.

At FREE Recovery Community, we’re breaking the silence of addiction. Whether you’re an addict, a loved one of an addict or a spiritual refugee, we’re here to walk this journey with you! Saturday night gatherings begin at 5 with a simple soup supper and inspiring live-streamed messages in a support setting where we don’t do shame! Please come for connection, healing and hope!

Writing as Remedy workshops at Wellspring Vitality invite you into a supportive, creative space where storytelling becomes a tool for healing, reflection, and connection. Through friendly prompts and shared presence, we use words to process what’s been held, honor lived experience, and remember that we don’t heal alone. No writing experience needed, just a willingness to show up and explore.

February 4 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Reserve Your Spot!
Doors at 5:45 PM || “Writing”/Pitching/Editing at 6:00 PM || FREE Creative Experience
Please bring: Your sense of humor, something to write on, and something to write with!

Participants get a complimentary beverage or a drink coupon for a future Sherbino program, because comedy should be loose, not thirsty!
