SUMMARY:Men's Retreat: The Integrated Man\,  June 6-8\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Power\, Passion\, Purpose\nWhat would your life look like if you stopped making excuses? If you abandoned blame — of your parents\, of circumstance\, of women\, of yourself — and stood in full ownership of your life? \nThis weekend isn’t about fixing you because you’re not broken. It’s about finding the courage to tell the truth\, and claim the life waiting for you. \nAccountability \nThe hardest truth is also the most liberating: your life is yours. Every decision\, every action\, every regret\, every triumph — yours. When you stop pointing fingers and start owning your story\, the world begins to shift. Responsibility isn’t a burden; it’s your power. On the other side of radical ownership is the life you’ve been waiting to claim. \nSovereignty \nAccountability is free of shame\, untinged with guilt. True sovereignty is the ability to embrace your life — scars\, mistakes\, and triumphs alike — without neurotic self-blame or self-praise. It’s learning to hold a paradox: taking full responsibility and releasing the need to punish yourself. This allows a man to deepen his power\, tap into his passion\, and fuel his purpose. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStrength and Heart: The Ultimate Polarity\nMen are taught to choose: strength or heart. But why settle for half of yourself? This weekend invites you to step into the profound both/and — the place where courage meets compassion\, where resilience amplifies vulnerability. True masculine strength isn’t cold or distant; it’s fully alive\, beating with the rhythm of a passionate heart. \nSaid simply\, it takes balls and courage to admit your vulnerability rather than to posture or collapse around it. What does it feel like to be both vulnerable and grounded\, humble and confident\, strong and open? That is exactly what you will experience\, in your own body and mind. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Gain\n\n\nA deeper understanding of who you are and what drives you. \n\n\nPractical tools to move past blame and step into authentic accountability. \n\n\nA framework for balancing strength with compassion. \n\n\nA clear vision of your passion and purpose. \n\n\nPractices for embodiment\, mindfulness\, and presence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis will be led by experienced men’s work facilitators Marco Lam and Eddie Konold.  Eddie is a licensed psychotherapist.

The man who walks with power\, fueled by passion and guided by purpose. \nThe only question is: are you ready to meet him? \nTake the first step: reserve your spot now. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday  \n6-7:15 - Council \n7:30-8:30 pm Dinner at Elkstone Farm \n8:30- 9:10 pm Fire circle: Turn up the heat \n9:10 Close for the night \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:45-10:15- Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:15-1200 Content/circle/teaching \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-5- Extended break/wander/practice period \n5-6:30- Content/circle/teaching \n6:30-7:30- Dinner \n7:30-8:45- Closing circle for the day \n8:45-9 — Warrior’s rest/Meditation \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday  \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:40-10:00 Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:00-11:30- Content/circle/teaching \n11:30-11:45- Break \n11:45-12:00- Physical/embodiment exercise \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-3:45 Break \n3:45 - 4:20 Circle/teaching \n4:20 - 4:30 Break \n4:30-5:00 - Bringing it home \n\n\nREFUND POLICY \nRefunds will be charged a $50 fee up to 30 days before the event. \nTHERE ARE NO REFUNDS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF START OF THE EVENT.

SUMMARY:Bee Guardianship Workshop: May 17-18th\, 2025 with Alex DeCesaro
DESCRIPTION:We are super excited to bring back one of our favorite Bee Guardians\, Alex DeCesaro\, for another round of mind blowing class about how to care for bees. Alex teaches beekeeping with a bee-centric approach to promote a beekeeping practice that is more rooted in nature. She has studied under Backyard Hive's Corwin Bell and works with Michael Thiele to bring back natural nesting sites to areas on the Front Range.  This class is open to folks new to beekeeping\, just curious or skilled beekeepers looking for a holistic understanding of bee guardianship! \nSession 1:\nMay 17th: 10am - 3pm\nSession 1 covers more than just the bee basics\, which is a misnomer because there is nothing basic about bees! Alex paints a fascinating picture of how bee genetics inform survivor behavior traits\, how these traits make up the bees' behavioral immune system\, which directly relate to survivability. Alex  launches into the big picture of bees as a superorganism\, why we teach beekeeping the way we do\, and why we designed the type of hives we use. We compare and contrast different hive styles used by the majority of beekeepers\, but we also explore various management practices that natural Bee Guardians use to create a sustainable habitat for the bees. Once we learn the bee basics\, understand the individual types of bees in the colony\, and can identify and discern the various combs and their uses in the nest\, we will have the foundation to continue onto Session 2. \n  \nSession 2:\nMay 18th: 10am - 3pm\nIn Session 2 we go through step-by-step management practices during the seasons of the hive. We learn to "read" combs from different locations in the honey bee nest and assess their condition\, their state of health and many other factors. Alex demonstrates unique techniques for hive management\, presents a "time lapse" perspective of how the honey bee nest is initially created\, how it evolves over the first year and how it is sustained over the years through careful observation and application of specific management techniques at the right times. By the end of Session 2 you should be able to identify colony problems\, apply solutions and be able to assess what to do for your bees in just about every circumstance that you will encounter. Session 2 is also when we get to see how Alex approaches the hives and how she flows with the energy of the bees\, and how she moves through the hive\, weather permitting. \n  \nAbout the Instructors: \n \nAlex has been keeping bees for 6 years and is passionate about sharing this knowledge with others in order to help the local pollinator population. Alex teaches beekeeping with a bee-centric approach to promote a beekeeping practice that is more rooted in nature. She has studied under Backyard Hive's Corwin Bell and works with Michael Thiele to bring back natural nesting sites to areas on the Front Range. She is interested in keeping bees on a spiritual level and aims to be a steward of the earth through this ancient practice. You can find out more about her work through her website https://www.alma-apiary.com.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Oyster Mushrooms at home with Micheal Butts: May 15th\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Micheal will spend a day introducing you to growing Oyster Mushrooms on a small scale with simple processes you can do at home\, and you’ll go home with your first little “garden” of mushrooms.   In the morning we will start by introducing you to the wonderful world of fungi\, discuss growing mediums well suited for Oyster varieties and the conditions that help them to thrive to abundant fruiting. We will discuss where we can find all the commonly available resources. I will have step by step instructions for you on preparing the growing medium and how to create the favorable conditions for fruiting as the mycelium grows.  This class was really popular last year and it was wonderful hearing about the successes of the students growing mushrooms! \nAfter a wonderful farm-to-table lunch at the farm we will spend a couple hours having fun building our own mushroom grow bags with materials I will have ready to assemble.   Folks will go home with some of their own innoculated mushroom bags. \n\n \n\n\n\n\nMicheal Butts is an urban homesteader in downtown Loveland\, Colorado packing his quarter acre estate with a flock of yard birds\, several colonies of honey bees\, garden beds\, a wood fired coffee roastery\, beer and mead brewing equipment and a firewood shed. He is the production manager for Crown Mushrooms farm in nearby Berthoud.

SUMMARY:Book Club Dinner:  Animal\, Vegetable\, Miracle: May 13th
DESCRIPTION:This is the second of our more conversational family-style dinners at the farm.    We are excited to present an evening that nourishes us with good food from the farm while engaging in a deeper community experience.  Our farm manager\, Marco Lam\, will be facilitating the discussion along with special guest\, Danielle Skov\, the owner and proprietor of our amazing local bookstore\, Off the Beaten Path.   We have both been inspired by Barbara Kingsolver's work and what better place to discuss a book on being a locavore than over a sumptuous farm-to-table dinner! \nWhen published in 2007\, ANIMAL\, VEGETABLE\, MIRACLE was embraced by readers worldwide and quickly earned its place as a credo for the locavore movement. The family's chronicle of struggles and triumphs as they rooted themselves to their Appalachian farm and adopted a locally-produced diet was met with critical acclaim\, spent years on bestseller lists and won the James Beard Award. \n“Ten years ago\, we wrote this book about our decision to get serious with eating local\, more or less forsaking all others\,” Barbara writes. “It was such a novel idea that we had to make up our own language for it\, although the word ‘locavore’ germinated so naturally from the lexicon that it was invented simultaneously by many people at around the same time. Now it’s in the dictionary and on menus all over the place. What we’d thought of as our eccentric family notion broke out into something of a scene. I don’t mean that we created a scene—not at all—but that we happened to publish our family’s story at a moment when lots of families were ready to examine and take more control of their own food stories.” \nChef Russell will take the best of the produce and fruit off the farm and craft a sumptuous family-style meal for us as we both talk about and eat from our local food chain! Buy your book at Off the Beaten Path and read it beforehand so that we can have a strong book group!

SUMMARY:Men's Retreat: The Integrated Man\,  October 4-6th\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Integrated Man:\nCultivating Masculine Power\nOctober 4 - 6\, 2024 \nCut through Your Stories\nDeepen Your Impact\nBecome the Man You Were Meant to Be \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is holding you back? At the end of the day the only one in your way is you. \nYou are responsible for creating the life you want. But you don’t have to do it alone. In fact\, you can’t. We need each other. \nIf your heart was fully yours to express\, if your gifts were unapologetically presented to the world\, if you were willing to be as bold and as brave as you’ve witnessed men you admire being\, what might you do with your one\, precious life? \nWhat parts of you are holding you back? Why? \nDiscover and claim your deepest power. This weekend is designed to help you to see\, claim\, and clarify your purpose in all the important places of your life — sex\, intimacy\, and romantic partnership. Career\, money\, and being lit up by what you do. Plus community\, connection\, and having a group to support and challenge you on the path. \nYou can’t do this alone. There are few things more powerful in the world than a group of strong\, conscious\, embodied men willing to serve one another. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommon Challenges We Address \n\n\nLack of emotional or physical intimacy (sex) \n\n\nCareer inertia \n\n\nPoor boundaries (standing up to a boss\, a spouse\, a child\, a parent) \n\n\nNumbed out — unsure of what you’re really feeling (no feeling = no balls and no heart\, which means your life is stuck) \n\n\nOut of touch with your heart’s purpose \n\n\nScarcity in money\, love\, or life \n\n\nChallenges with a marriage or partnership that seems to have run out of passion and energy \n\n\nFeeling you need to manage the emotions of your partner\, your boss\, your children\, or your parents (you don’t\, and shouldn’t) \n\n\nFeeling you’re too intense\, or not intense enough \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMasculine power comes with being in touch with your heart and your balls. You know these types of men\, because they’re rare as the most precious of stones. These men can access an emotionality that is grounded\, not weak. They have impeccable boundaries in love and work yet aren’t hard or calcified. \nThey are partnered with powerful women (or men) and able to be in a mature and heart-centered relationship that makes both people stronger than either one. They are strongly independent yet strive to create inter-dependent relationships (not co-dependent). They are vulnerable but still deeply masculine\, strong\, powerful\, playful\, and embodied. \nThe Integrated Man has integrated a strong back and a soft belly so he can get what he wants faster\, easier. He knows love\, intimacy\, community. He is comfortable by himself\, and in the stillness of meditation or nature. He knows who he is\, what he stands for\, and what he’s willing to die for. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe get one chance at life\, one time through to bring\nour gifts fully into the world.\nCareer. Love. Parenting. Creativity. Self-expression. Service. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the (very) intensive weekend\, you’ll learn to hold boundaries with an open heart; to take in criticism\, and challenge but not collapse — or posture. You’ll gain the experience of being more humble and more powerful. \nIt’s time to transcend ideas of what the masculine can or should be in order to find your own intelligent\, skillful\, fully alive\, highly relational\, emotionally sophisticated\, and deeply powerful self. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractices Include:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHot Seat practices — you’ll be placed in the center of a circle and get the full challenge and support of the four leaders \n\n\n\n\nBeing embodied — most men are cut off from what’s really happening inside of their bodies\, which means they’re cut off from not just their heart but also their balls \n\n\nLeading your own groups and helping other men to find greater clarity \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaking radical responsibility for your life and your relationships as they are right now \n\n\n\n\nGetting out of your victim mindset that blames the other person for how you feel and what choices you think you have \n\n\nStaying relational even in your biggest triggers — and why it matters for your own growth\, ambition\, and life fulfillment \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTranslating the work of the weekend to your real life \n\n\nLeading with curiosity —especially when defensiveness and the impulse to fix or give advice are present \n\n\nMindful\, fierce presence with yourself and with the other men. You’ll be taught how to slow down and be present with yourself and with others\, and why it matters so much \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis will be led by experienced men’s work facilitators Jeffrey James Howard\, Marco Lam\, Keith Martin-Smith\, and Eddie Konold. Jeffrey and Eddie are licensed psychotherapists. Marco is an acupuncturist\, permaculture expert\, and community leader. Keith is an ordained Zen priest\, published author\, and martial arts lineage holder\, and Marco and Keith have been in the same men’s group\, with the same group of men\, for 14+ years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Keith had a strong presence\, physically and spiritually with meditation and embodiment exercises. Eddy was love and gentleness\, killing it with kindness and active\, warm\, soft reflective listening and precise at picking up relational material to give back and act on. Marco was mindful\, honest\, and more of a quiet/wise leader and organizer. Jeffrey was an excellent facilitator\, listener\, and therapist\, coming in with challenges that quickly closed in on the issues at hand\, using a knife to sharpen his teeth and go in for the kill. \nWatch out!  They all worked very well together\, cohesive\, displayed confidence and therefore trust and a letting go into the work and the group. The container was beautiful and held tighter as the retreat came to a close. I would participate again. I would recommend this to any man wanting more from his relationships.”  \n— GA\, Spring 2022 \n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday  \n6-7:15 - Council \n7:30-8:30 pm Dinner at Elkstone Farm \n8:30- 9:10 pm Fire circle: Turn up the heat \n9:10 Close for the night \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:45-10:15- Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:15-1200 Content/circle/teaching \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-5- Extended break/wander/practice period \n5-6:30- Content/circle/teaching \n6:30-7:30- Dinner \n7:30-8:45- Closing circle for the day \n8:45-9 — Warrior’s rest/Meditation \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday  \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:40-10:00 Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:00-11:30- Content/circle/teaching \n11:30-11:45- Break \n11:45-12:00- Physical/embodiment exercise \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-3:45 Break \n3:45 - 4:20 Circle/teaching \n4:20 - 4:30 Break \n4:30-6:00 - Bringing it home \n6:00-7:00- Dinner \n\nREFUND POLICY \nRefunds will be charged a $50 fee up to 30 days before the event. \nTHERE ARE NO REFUNDS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF START OF THE EVENT.

SUMMARY:Bee Guardianship Workshop: May 25-26th\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:We are super excited to bring back our favorite Bee Guardian\, Corwin Bell\, for another round of mind blowing class about how to care for bees.   Corwin has a unique perspective on caring for our pollinating friends that is changing the paradigm of beekeeping in radical ways that help us tune in more to the natural world!  This will be Corwin's third visit and each year we go a little deeper into the observation of our nectar loving friends! \nSession 1:\nMay 25th: 10am - 3pm\nSession 1 covers more than just the bee basics\, which is a misnomer because there is nothing basic about bees! Corwin paints a fascinating picture of how bee genetics inform survivor behavior traits\, how these traits make up the bees' behavioral immune system\, which directly relate to survivability. Corwin launches into the big picture of bees as a superorganism\, why we teach beekeeping the way we do\, and why we designed the type of hives we use. We compare and contrast different hive styles used by the majority of beekeepers\, but we also explore various management practices that natural Bee Guardians use to create a sustainable habitat for the bees. Once we learn the bee basics\, understand the individual types of bees in the colony\, and can identify and discern the various combs and their uses in the nest\, we will have the foundation to continue onto Session 2. \n  \nSession 2:\nMay 26th: 10am - 3pm\nIn Session 2 we go through step-by-step management practices during the seasons of the hive. We learn to "read" combs from different locations in the honey bee nest and assess their condition\, their state of health and many other factors. Corwin demonstrates unique techniques for hive management\, presents a "time lapse" perspective of how the honey bee nest is initially created\, how it evolves over the first year and how it is sustained over the years through careful observation and application of specific management techniques at the right times. By the end of Session 2 you should be able to identify colony problems\, apply solutions and be able to assess what to do for your bees in just about every circumstance that you will encounter. Session 2 is also when we get to see how Corwin approaches the hives and how he flows with the energy of the bees\, and how he moves through the hive\, weather permitting. \n  \nAbout the Instructors: \n \nCorwin Bell\nCorwin Bell is a longtime treatment-free Bee Guardian and founder of BackYardHive.com. In 1995\, Bell started keeping bees due to a prolonged fascination with this delicate pollinator. From the beginning\, Corwin always built his own hives. Early on\, before beekeepers recognized the massive value of survivor behaviors preserved in the genetics of wild swarms\, Bell made it his mission to field every call and save as many wild swarms as he could. He began getting an ever increasing number of phone calls alerting him of swarms that needed to be captured and given good homes. With each swarm\, Bell would take the opportunity to build and test different hive designs\, ideas\, features and alternative practices. \n  \n \nKaren Sadenwater\nKaren co-founded BackYardHive.com with Corwin in 2005 after she caught her first bee swarm and was immediately hooked on bees. She talked to a local woodworker asking to have a hive built overnight for her newly caught swarm. After much discussion with the woodworker and Corwin about hive size and details\, the first 'BackYardHive' was born. Soon after Corwin and Karen created the BackYardHive website with backyard beekeeping information\, a training DVD and fully assembled hives. Karen has worked with the bees under the guidance of Corwin for the past 10 years. Karen brings a sense of calm and respect when working with the honeybees. She co-teaches classes with Corwin and is especially skilled and patient when helping beginners get started on their new journey of Bee Guardianship.
