SUMMARY:Tea Ceremony in the Greenhouse with Marco Chung-Shu Lam\, January 8th\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a tea ceremony in our beautiful four season greenhouse. Drink tea in a grove of citrus and fig trees\, flowers and herbs\, while the cold weather is brewing outside. 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 after to relax in the greenhouse. \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 both aged shou pu-erhs and an exquisite oolong in this session.

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.

Pool and riffle restoration is a powerful way for individuals to stabilize the climate\, and revitalize local ecosystems. \nWhy Pool and Riffle Restoration Matters \nWater is the foundation of all life\, and by restoring these natural water systems\, we can ensure that our ecosystems can regain and remain the vibrant and life-sustaining keystones to abundance for all. \nHealthy Streams naturally form sequences of pools (deep\, slow-moving water) and riffles (shallow\, fast-moving water). Unfortunately\, it is hard to find undisturbed and truly healthy formations that are crucial for healthy aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. By restoring pools and riffles\, we can  recharge ground water and turn ephemeral flows into forgotten babbling streams and brooks.  We can bring  life back to areas that only see water seasonally and by improving water retention we can reduce floods and droughts\, creating a more stable thermal environment for aquatic and terrestrial life.  \nThrough sediment and soil capture\, the subsequent abundance that sprouts from hydrated soils stores far more elemental and living carbon\, helping to mitigating climate change. \nRevive Seasonal Streams\, improve water quality\, increase biodiversity and Abundance\, and Capture Carbon \nYou Can Lead the Flow! \nYou can make a difference with simple\, impactful actions: \nLearn with Us at Elkstone Farm: Join us at Elkstone Farm to learn hands-on techniques for pool and riffle restoration. Empower yourself with the knowledge and skills to take effective action in your community. \nLearn and Share\, Get Involved Locally\, Volunteer\, Advocate\, and Adopt a watershed!  \nBy getting involved\, you’re contributing to a global effort to combat climate change and protect life. Each restored pool sends ripples of palpable positive change\, proving that individual actions can make a significant difference. \nJoin us for an immersive three-day course that will revolutionize your approach to watershed restoration! Our focus is on restoring the upper ephemeral flow\, pool and riffle systems\, using hands-on techniques that will have you feeling like a restoration expert in no time.    \nOur course will give you practical\, hands-on activities that will teach you the skills you need to make a real difference in the health of our waterways. You'll learn how read water courses and implement restoration projects that restore natural flow patterns and promote the growth of healthy aquatic ecosystems. \nWe will guide you through every step of the process\, from site assessment and planning to planting and monitoring. You'll learn about the latest techniques and technologies for restoring stream channels\, creating aquatic habitat\, and stabilizing banks and slopes. \nBut this is no ordinary course!  We believe that restoration should be fun\, engaging\, and exciting\, and our program reflects that. You'll get to work in the field with other restoration enthusiasts\, enjoying the beauty of nature on Elkstone farm and learn practical skills that will last a lifetime. \nJoin us for an unforgettable three-day journey into the heart of watershed restoration. You'll come away feeling inspired\, empowered\, nourished \, and equipped to make a real difference in the health of our rivers and streams. Sign up today and be a part of the restoration revolution! \n  \n \nAbout Ben: \nBen Murray is passionately committed to guiding radical restoration of our parched lands.  Through restoring damaged and degraded natural systems from the top down and the seed up so that we may live in a truly  resilient vibrant and nourishing world.  He feels that right relationship to healthy ecosystems is the foundation of physical mental and spiritual wellbeing.  \nHis path to watershed restoration started at a very earl age playing with streams in the forests of England awakening a profound relationship to water\, later coming upon the work of Victor Schauberger setting him on a deeper path of understanding the circulatory system of our earth the streams and rivers. He has done watershed restoration in Brazil\, Ecuador\, Canada and the USA.   He had the privilege to do a seed to seed apprenticeship in the permaculture market gardens of the oldest agroforestry operation in North America\, Windhorse Farm.   At 175 years of continual management\, Windhorse Farm has more standing timber than the day they started.   The deep feeling of old growth forest coexists while being actively managed as a woodlot.  This gave him the visceral knowing that another way is possible. It was on Windhorse  that he first actively started restoring waterways and a deep love of water turned into the seeds of a new skill. He was lit up by this work more than anything in how humbling and awe inspiring  it is to to participate with nature in such a way that streams that were once dr\, return to flowing and all the subsequent life that burgeons forth from such simple actions. It has showed him that water is the fulcrum point of all ecological design and restoration\, and our deepest teacher about life.   \nOver the years\, his hands-on experience of success and failure and happy accidents in restoration have illuminated a simple yet profound path to watershed restoration.  He has taught and been taught by the rural people in Ecuador  and trained Peace Corps volunteers where he co-owns a regenerative cacao farm.  In Brazil\, he built a permaculture center around empowering locals to thrive in community cooperation\, championing their local skills\, ancestral natural building skills and helping them to restore their ancestral water courses and lands. He has consulted and worked in Mexico and the Caribbean on regenerative farm design.  He currently resides in rural Boulder\, Colorado\, where he lives with his wife and 6 year old twins\, developing a a homestead at the foot of the mountains.
