Event descriptions are at the bottom of the page..

Grace Reins Equine Therapy with Erin Cain

Erin is a Telluride local who has been working with humans and horses, helping both creatures heal themselves. The horses are mustangs who were rescued and brought into Grace Reins. Each animal - like each person - has their own story and their own struggles, creating a bond and understanding that runs deep. Erin says she is “integrating therapeutic techniques with the healing presence of horses, fostering spaces where people can explore, feel and remember who they are beneath the noise.” 

o   Participants will leave Telluride at 2pm for the 30 minute drive to Brown Ranch and will be back in town by 6pm. 

o   Experience included for Eureka Pass holders 

o   $50 donation to Grace Reins (501c3) for Big Idea Pass holders

Tea Trek with Living Tea’s Colin Hudon

Colin has been an integral part of Original Thinkers since our inception and actually moved here permanently after serving tea at our first festival. For these tea treks, he takes a small group out into the woods where we sit together in contemplation, while he very deliberately serves tea. It is a lovely way to spend time in nature, while enjoying his special blends from Living Tea.

Ecstatic Dance with Jennifer Turner

Ecstatic Dance is an immersive experience of movement, freedom of expression and fun that has the potential of opening you to a state of flow and feeling that allows for a journey of reconnection back to yourself. Dance is our birthright and the universal language of the soul, and this is for anyone who wants to move, not just expert dancers. We dance as we are. No alcohol. No phones, photography, or video. No expectations or judgements. Just be yourself with respect for ourselves, the space, and one another. The experience is facilitated by Jenn Turner who is based in Ridgeway and approaches her practice, teaching, and all of life with a sense of curiosity, athleticism, and joy.
