Relax with Revitalizing Yoga
In this fast-paced world, we all need some time to slow down and focus on ourselves. The style of yoga that our instructor will teach is a slow practice with a focus on breath awareness and mind-body connection. Incorporating different styles, this class is for all levels of yogis, from first-timers to longtime yoga fans. So bring a mat and settle in for an hour-long escape!

The Chocolate Therapist
Chocolate as "therapy" has been around for ages, and like a fine wine, every chocolate bean has a unique flavor.

Discover Gold at the Phoenix Mine - CANCELLED
Colorado's rich mining history demands a visit to the Phoenix Gold Mine! At this active, working mine in the mountains west of Denver, you will be treated to a fantastic tour and an opportunity to do a bit of gold panning in the creek. Any gold you find is yours to keep! If weather allows, there is also a beautiful hiking trail located on the mine property. Attendees must be 12 years or older to participate.
Luncheon Entertainment  Victorian "Fashion Show"
At the Tuesday luncheon, you will join The Mountain Man and the Missus for a travel back in time…all the way to 1864! This "Victorian Fashion Show" begins with the couple preparing to travel to their neighbor's for supper. The ride is long and the times are tough, but this couple will have you laughing, and learning, as they share details of what it was like to "get ready" for such an event in the 1800s. Beginning in just their long johns and bloomers, you will watch the couple dress for their journey—and later, fashionably. They will give you a firsthand look at the clothing and accouterments from this era, covering history, etiquette, and attire.
