SUMMARY:Book Club Dinner: Yampa Yearnings : May 14th\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:For those who live along the bends of the Yampa River\, under the long skies of the valley\, and among the seasons that shape this place—you’re invited to gather for a shared reading of Yampa Yearnings by award-winning author Eugene Buchanan.   We may all share some concern for our low snowpack melting into a low water year for our beloved river.   This is an opportunity to increase awareness for our backyard river. \nThis book club will bring together neighbors from across the Yampa Valley to read and discuss the novel Yampa Yearnings\, a story rooted in the landscapes\, longings\, and layered histories of our region. Together we’ll explore the characters\, the valley itself\, and the deeper questions the story raises about place\, belonging\, and the lives we build here. \nWhether you’ve lived here for generations or just arrived under the spell of these mountains\, you’re warmly welcome. \nCome for the book.  Stay for the conversation! \nBring a copy of Yampa Yearnings\, a curious mind\, and perhaps a friend who loves the valley as much as you do. \nChef Russell will cook a family-style farm-to-table dinner to accompany our dinner discussion. Our farm manager\, Marco Lam\, is partnering once again with Danielle Skov\, of Off the Beaten Path bookstore\, to host a lively discussion.  Please order your book in advance and read it.   If you don't finish it\, you can can still join us for dinner without being embarrassed! \nEXCITING UPDATEL \nEugene Buchanan\, the author\,  is going to join us for dinner and discussion! \nA former reporter for the Denver Business Journal and 14-year publisher and editor-in-chief of Paddler magazine\, Eugene Buchanan has written about the outdoors for more than 25 years. He’s covered sports at the highest levels of competition\, including the X Games for ESPN.com and the Beijing Olympics while working for NBC. \nAs a member of New York’s prestigious Explorer’s Club\, Eugene’s articles have appeared in such publications as the New York Times\, National Geographic Adventure\, Men's Journal\, Sports Afield\, Outside\, Forbes Life\, Skiing\, Bike and more.

SUMMARY:Tea Ceremony with Marco Chung-Shu Lam\, May 15th\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a tea ceremony!  We will be sharing traditional bowl tea in the Cha Dao style of tea ceremony. Marco will share a bit about tea practice and there will be time to drink plenty of tea. \nCha Dao\, “The Way of Tea” is a practice that comes from the depth of Chinese culture and from the Taoist practices of relating to nature as medicine. The ancient Taoists and sages use tea as both plant medicine and as a path to cultivate awareness and to deepen one's mediation practice. Tea is one of the most accessible plant teachers and as a gentle spirit\, it can guide you into a more powerful and centered relationship with nature. \nLed by Marco Chung-Shu Lam\, who is one of our farm managers and also runs an integrative medicine clinic in Boulder. He is a skilled practitioner of internal martial arts\, acupuncture and herbalism who has practiced in Colorado for over twenty years. He has a deep love of tea and will be sharing from his personal collection of teas in this session.
