True leaders allow for growth
The world presents a different perspective when you are face down in a snowbank. The lesson? Well, take a lesson when you want to learn something new. I did. Last week, I took a cross-country ski lesson and got the perspective of an untethered marionette as my arms and legs were flailing in all directions. […]
Natural wine grows in popularity
Appealing to the conscious consumer, natural wine is one of the most exciting styles of wine in the world right now. Although there has been a surge in interest, natural wine is not a new phenomenon. Despite its growing popularity, natural wine still only represents less than 1% of all the wine in the world. What […]
We should all be like Pete
By Shawn Bonnough “Pisco sour, mate?” “Uhhh, OK!” I reply. “Muh name’s Pete,” an always smiling Ozzie says to me as he hands me a drink. I think to myself: I wish everyone was this friendly, confident, welcoming and genuine. Wouldn’t we all be a lot happier? Like everyone does, I immediately fell in love with […]

Numbers can tell the story
By Pamela Lynch During a fire ceremony in Bali, a high priest chanted into the starlit night anointing us with a stream of blessings. The evening had begun as an illuminating and uplifting way to invite in the first year of a new decade in 2020. We all looked quizzically at the priest and his […]
Do you find the time?
Time slows as I adjust my goggles, lean on my poles and survey creation from a mountaintop. The awe flooding through me slows time even more as I peer through ice-speckled goggles: azure sky, snow ghosts, sunlight sparkling on fresh powder. I’m late for a meeting, but I let the feeling wash over me before […]
Shamanism will lift the veil
By Keyla Sereen Ohs Shamanism is a way of walking upon the planet and a way of seeing things that our society has taught us to veil. It is living a life divinely connected to spirit, to our earth, and in deep gratitude for the blessings our planet and community bring to us through our joint […]
