a li'l rodeo of my own

Living my best life & inviting you along for the ride!

Hellooooooo from my sun-drenched spot in Gunnison, CO— where I can hear the sounds of the rodeo & squeals of the carnival drifting on the wind!

I’ve got event updates for you today AND the full Vision Weaving documentary is live!

🎥 Vision Weaving: The Film

A non-ordinary documentary directed by Lisette Murphy, featuring voices and art from the Vision Train community.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the public screenings— it’s been a joy to witness this project take flight!

Light Up The House with us in-person and online, Friday, July 11th!

Come see the film installed at the Gunnison Art Center & party with us at the official opening ceremony for the Vision Weaving exhibit with Amanda Sage!

Join me in-person:

Circle up with me July 14th at Sanctuary Somatics in Gunnison, CO for a one-of-a-kind workshop/performance experience for all ages.

Sounds become stories and stories become songs in this improvisational co-creation— an offering I’ve shared exclusively with in-person groups for over 25 years.

Tickets go on sale this week.

📌 Ritual Lab DATE CHANGE:

July 13th- August 3rd, 2025

The third installment of this year’s online Ritual Lab gatherings, ECOPOETICS, will be rescheduled to accommodate my residency tenure.

Instead of our regular 3-week container, we will gather online on August 3rd for a three-hour deep-dive exploring each of our unique relationships with earth, water, fire, air, time, space and place — followed by an invitation to give your art back to the planet…

I’ll be in my high-desert residency for another magical week and a half— then back to Iowa to take advantage of the rest of the prairie summer (& back to a more regular newsletter schedule 🙏).

xoxoxo!
