You will learn the basics of lampworking AKA glassblowing. The main difference is glassblowing is done with a very large oven called a glory hole, while lampworking uses a torch. This is a 4-hour class and about 1 hour is spent training you on safety and techniques. This is split up throughout the experience. You will spend about a full 3 hours on the torch playing with molten glass. In the class, we can go over basic items like an implosion or a mushroom marble, pendants, glass ice cubes, and other more simple-to-make items. Glassblowing is freaking fun and amazing, but it is not easy at the start. Be warned, you may experience too much fun, melting glass in fire is just plain cool! Another project we have been working on incorporating is trying to make a pipe with you for a small added cost. It takes a good amount of time to make one from scratch so we have pre-made pipe slugs you can pick from so we can whip it up and potentially add a marble you made to it in a timely fashion. The pre-made slugs do cost a little extra as it takes more labor, but you get a really cool extra special piece. With this added option the teacher will be the one making the pipe towards the end of the class if not after the class so all who still need help can get the help they need. We use an ozone generator nightly to sanitize the work facility to ensure a healthy work zone

Come prepared to relax as you settle into gentle, supported yoga positions and then receive hands-on therapeutic massage throughout the session. Rather than a vigorous, athletic approach, this calming practice combines restorative yoga with massage to utilizes a number of techniques to evoke the concept of “arriving” in the body. The three pillars of Yomassage are breath, stretch, and touch. Indulge in a transformative experience that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. Our session begins with light movement and a brief breathing exercise, then continues with a uniquely themed meditation that helps ground you in the present moment. Invite your concerns to float away as you’re guided into supportive positions that stretch and ease your muscles. During these postures, your guide will provide each attendee with energetic, healing massage and continue facilitating the meditative journey. Within this session, you will find yourself in a comfortable state of awareness from which we may observe the relationship to our physical form, our intricate (and often elusive) thought patterns, and respond to the invitation of perceiving ourselves with tenderness and grace. Physiological benefits of massage and restorative yoga include a decrease in tension and stress hormones, an increase in connection to ourselves and others, and an overall invitation to self-compassion and acceptance.

Hikes will depart rain or shine : ) Uber and Lyft both come here and cost between $20-$30 one way.

This is one of Colorado's most beautiful hikes. If you are looking for an easy hike that is jam packed with gorgeous views, this hike is definitely for you!

It's a 1.5 mile hike. There is a slight elevation rise on the last 1/2 of the walk that is very doable for even novice hikers. We stop often so there is plenty of time to take in the view, take amazing photos & catch your breath. The time of the hike varies between 70 and 90 minutes depending on the size of the group. You will leave with incredible photos that your friends will envy. Along the way, if we are lucky, we will see some of the wildlife that call the park home. We'll end the hike back where we started & you can visit the amphitheater on your own while enjoying snacks & a Cold Frappuccino I provide. This is an easy to lightly moderate hike good for most skill levels. There is a gradual incline of 325 feet.
