SUMMARY:Tour de Floyd
DESCRIPTION:Red Rooster is reviving the Tour de Floyd\, a popular annual metric century (100km) bike ride to raise funds for Blue Mountain School\, a 44-year old contemplative progressive school in Floyd\, VA. The ride will take place on Saturday\, May 17th\, with a starting time of 8:30am for the traditional route.

Red Rooster Coffee will welcome all riders with a complimentary breakfast and coffee upon arrival\, as well as a full espresso bar. Start the ride with freshly brewed\, locally-roasted coffee\, alongside a selection of delicious and energizing quick eats. Blue Mountain School is also excited to host 5 aid stations. The aid stations along the race routes will embody the spirit of Blue Mountain School.

From class themed decorations to refreshing treats\, including the old classic “cookie station”\, each aid station will provide a memorable boost to keep riders motivated and connect them to the Blue Mountain School community. \nRegistration is available online at www.BikeReg.com/tour-de-floyd-2025 through May 16th\, with early-bird pricing available until March 31st.

SUMMARY:Mindful Living\, Soulful Aging Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“The gold of age is a rich harvest\, one that’s born in darkness and brought to light. Mining the gold of the inner life is a living practice with a guiding seam and a deepening to forge. And what will you spend your gold on? Your time\, your life? Every person’s inner gold accrues interest when shared.” –Colleen Redman \nThe inner life regularly calls for our attention\, but it takes a real commitment to bring our focus within when so much grabs our attention in the routines of daily living. Whether or not you have been able to do your inner work along the way\, we are inviting elders and adults of all ages who are motivated now for prioritizing their inner work to come together in a co-creative community. This retreat will provide opportunities for silent meditation and reflection\, along with stimulating presentations and workshops on the processes of living with awareness and aging with grace. \nParticipants will be supported to explore and express your inner life through poetry\, creative writing\, guided imagery and music\, dance\,small group discussions and mandala art. There will be a featured poetry reading on the theme of soulful aging titled: Mining the Gold / Spending the Treasure with Colleen Redman and Katherine Chantal. Their original poems blend memoir\, dream work\, mythology and contemplative reflection on meeting the challenge of “apprenticing ourselves to our own disappearance\,” as coined by poet David Whyte. \nEach day will offer a balance of guided offerings and free time for inner exploration inside the Bermed Lodge and out in the forest and trails surrounding the Floyd EcoVillage. You will have time for tuning in\, and renewing and deepening your skills in the practices of soulful aging and mindful living. Delicious meals\, snacks and beverages provided throughout the retreat. \nRetreat is open to adults of all ages.

SUMMARY:Mindful Living & Soulful Aging: Weekend Retreat for the Inner Life
DESCRIPTION:The inner life regularly calls for our attention\, but it takes a real commitment to bring our focus within when so much grabs our attention in the routines of daily living. Whether or not you have been able to do your inner work along the way\, we are inviting adults & elders who are motivated now for prioritizing their inner work to come together in co-creative community for this weekend retreat. We will embrace the second adulthood\, or what Jungian analyst and author James Hollis calls “The Middle Passage\, when the demands of the true self press persistently in an uprising against the acquired persona.” \nThis retreat will provide opportunities for silent meditation & reflection along with stimulating presentations and workshops on the processes of living with awareness and aging with grace. You will be supported to explore and express your inner life through poetry\, creative writing\, guided imagery and music\, dance\, small group discussions and soul collage art. \nEach day will offer a balance of guided offerings and free time for inner exploration inside the Bermed Lodge and out in the forest and trails surrounding the Floyd EcoVillage. You will have time for tuning in\, and renewing and deepening your skills in the practices of soulful aging and mindful living. \nThere will be a featured poetry reading on Friday Eve on the theme of soulful aging titled: Mining the Gold of the Inner Life. Colleen Redman and Katherine Chantal’s call-and-response poetry readings delve into primal wounds\, honoring the past\, humbling ego deaths and transcendence into elderhood and beyond. They approach poetry as a healing art that is informed by contemplation and depth psychology. They give voice to a process that poet David Whyte calls “apprenticing to our own disappearance\,” a time when one is obliged to ask ‘Who am I\, apart from my history and the roles I have played?’ \nDelicious meals\, snacks and beverages provided throughout the retreat. \nAll levels of experience welcome!

SUMMARY:Tulsi/Holy Basil-Sacred Adaptogen Tincture Making Workshop
