    Great Sand Dunes National Park

    August 29, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F

    We entered the park before the visitor's center was open so headed straight to the picnic area for breakfast with a view. Then we took a barefoot hike on the sand with Duncan, turning around as soon as the sand started heating up. Then back to the visitors center which has been renovated and has a passive solar (Trombe) wall.Read more

    Mosca Pass Trail

    August 29, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    We decided to escape the afternoon heat on the mostly shaded/higher elevation Mosca Pass trail. It was a toll road in the late 1800s which cost about $50 in today's dollars. After lunch of veggies and hummus and cherries, we set out to the pass 3.5 miles and 1400' up. The trail was quite varied in shaded pine and aspen forest, rocky overlooks, and meadows. We took a side trail near the pass to a long abandoned log cabin where we stopped for trail mix, granola bar and mandarin. The pass was not too impressive but we saw a tiny horned lizard. The nature trail side trail had a great view of the dunes.Read more

    Full moon dunes hike

    August 29, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 59 °F

    Back to the picnic area for shade and a nap. We made a vegan jambalaya for dinner and then back to the dunes for a nearly full moon hike. It was easier without the heat, but still difficult going up steep dunes in the sinking sand. The wind occasionally blew up blasts of sand. But it was completely beautiful and the moon lit our path!Read more

    Pass Creek playground

    August 30, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

    We found a beautiful large site in the Rio Grande National Forest above Pass Creek where we had room to play. The sunsets and night sky were beautiful. We took Zumi to Tucker Ponds and the restroom there but otherwise chilled around camp. The only downside was we could here the highway across the valley. Total 86 miles and 1 miles of trails for us.Read more

    Camping on lower Piedra River

    September 1, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

    Found a nice spot near the river shortly before dark. Road was deeply rutted but we cautiously made our way to a level spot right off the river. Very quiet night. Total 55 miles. Enjoyed a walk in the morning and found a sweet swimming hole that Resonate jumped in and Duncan almost got swept over the little water fall before leaping to freedom. The rocks were great for picnicking and spinning dragon staff too.Read more

    Haviland Lake

    September 3, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    We had a fun day exploring Durango (sadly no pictures). Our friend, Indigo, recommended this beautiful lake to us. We enjoyed frozen mint non-dairy dessert at sunset and then camped just down the road. Total 61 miles. Coming back for sunrise yoga and breakfast the lake was completely still and had fog rising from it.Read more

    Dinner & Apricot Picking with Indigo

    September 4, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    We visited our friend Indigo who we met treehouse building near Austin, TX and camped at RTR & Skooliepalooza in AZ together. It was great to reconnect at Indigo's apartment and get a shower before a shared Buddha bowl meal! Then Indigo walked us to riverside trees brimming with apricots. We collected about 3 pounds in a few minutes.Read more

    We cleaned up landscaping fabric off the beach area and set up several large tents on Wednesday and were ready for a busy festival starting Thursday evening. We enjoyed several great workshops and danced to fantastic live music. We were honored to hold space for the cacao ceremonies followed by breathwork sound baths at Xanadu. We didn't get many photos but met amazing people and made great memories.Read more

    Serenity Festival

    September 14, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    We had an amazing Somatic Sharing workshop that started right after a hail storm! One participant said it was "next level yoga" and we are honored to bring the connection activities out to the world. It was a much smaller crowd than Unison but still an amazing time and deeper connections with friends. We spun the dragon staff next to the stages to amazing live music. We are also excited about the community building and healthy living spaces Robert, Ryan and Pura Vida for Good are creating here and one larger tracts in the area. Looking forward to returning to help build!Read more
