Hello Dear Ones,
We hope your transition over to 2024 has been going smoothly. Things here are good and we’re hoping for some more snow in the mountains in Colorado to go with the cold weather. You?
New offering: join us for Second Sunday Solkattu Sessions starting this Sunday, January 14th from 10:30am-noon. details
Arlyn has a New Year, New Habits group that begins the week of January 15th. This will be the last online group she offers until earliest of the fall, so if you’ve been circling around and potentially interested, now would be a great time to check out this version of her work. Join the group and take time to cultivate more choice, self-compassion, a stronger mind-body connection, and nourishment for the body through gentle movement and focused internal attention. More information and registration.
On Saturday, January 20th, David will be performing with the NFV Community and Parade Band at the Paradise Theatre with an Evening of Swing, Funk and Fun! Get your tickets.
In 2024, we’re working to put together an album of music recordings done by local youth music students. It’s a fun project and we’ll let you know more about it as it progresses. If your 10-20 year old is seriously interested in music and might like to be involved in this project, please reply to this email and we can talk about ways to get them involved. This project is in collaboration with the local non-profit, Arts For All.
Please see below for our full calendar of upcoming events. We’ll see you soon.
blessings,
Arlyn & David

Arlyn has two 1:1 life-coaching spots available this coming cycle in-person or online. Book a free “discovery call” to talk about what life coaching is and how it might be utilized in your situation, it’s likely not what you think. Her Wayfinder Life Coach Certification is rooted in Martha Beck’s work, and what drew her originally was Beck’s book “Finding Your Way in a Wild New World” which details how to drop into the wordless state of communion with nature and self, how to connect with the oneness between self and the universe, how to be empowered by the spark of inspiration, and finally, how to take action and realize your creative potential to make a lasting impact in your own life and the world around you. Sound good? It is. Let’s play.
