Rooted in Wonder is a two-day immersive training designed for educators, parents, mental health professionals, and community members who are committed to nurturing the well-being, resilience, and sense of belonging of the next generation.
This experience introduces participants to practical, nature-based approaches that support social-emotional development, strengthen community connections, and cultivate meaningful engagement with the natural world. Participants leave with applicable tools, professional insights, and collaborative relationships that can enhance their work in schools, organizations, and community settings.
Hosted at The Kiva Center’s 80-acre wilderness site in Lefthand Canyon, the program provides a restorative learning environment where participants can deepen their professional practice while reconnecting with the values that inspire their work.

When: Wednesdays, 6pm-7:30pm
Where: Virtual
REGISTER HERE!
Mass demonstrations like 🚫👑 No Kings prove one thing beyond doubt: the people are AWAKE and FIRED UP! 🔥 But rallying in the streets is just the beginning. The real power comes from what we do after the march. Research shows that no movement with 3.5% of the population in continuous mobilization has ever failed 📊 — but only when they go beyond demonstrations into mass noncooperation, noncompliance, and strategic action that dismantles the pillars holding up authoritarianism. That’s exactly what we’re here to build. 🛠️ Come learn the organizing skills we wish we had known from the start — and let’s transform that protest energy into lasting, unstoppable change. 💪
📚🎤 Every week we feature guest speakers and training on topics like:
🛡️ How to Protest Safely 🌎 Immigrant Rights 🪶 Indigenous History 🔐 Cybersecurity ✊ Community Organizing Tactics and much more!
🌟 About Solidarity Warriors: We’re an action-focused, Indivisible group 💥 born after the November election and proud lead organizers of No Kings 2 in Denver 🏔️. We’re people from across the nation — many in Colorado — united by one commitment: action over grievance. 🎯 We don’t just talk about what’s wrong — we plan, organize, and partner with marginalized communities to make things right. ✊🏽
🚨 Come ready to answer one question: What are YOU going to DO? 👉 Join us. The movement needs you. 🗽✊🔥

Ecodharma Retreat for Ecological Resilience and Disaster Planners
2026-08-17 - 2026-08-23 | Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center, Overland Road, Ward, Colorado, 80481, United States
Deadline for Application is June 30th, 2026
We must prepare for a “polycrisis,” that goes beyond the climate crisis and encompasses multiple interdependent global risks that significantly degrade humanity’s prospects. Increasing frequency and severity of climate disasters are an integral part of the deepening polycrisis and they reveal both our fragility and interdependence. This retreat is the first in a series of three designed by Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center (RMERC) to support the cultivation of community resiliency and responsiveness in states around Colorado as disasters and chaos will unfold in our communities in the decades to come. We need to be prepared for fires, floods, catastrophic winds, droughts, and other more slowly unfolding stressful events not just in 2025-2030 but in 2040-2050 and beyond.
Finding deep refuge in the beauty and wisdom of the land and the dharma teachings, we will rest, replenish, and tend to our nervous systems. We will introduce spiritual and emotional resilience practices, and cultivate the capacity of the heart. After accessing groundedness, restorative nourishing connection, and trust with each other and the more-than-human world, we turn towards our grief and rage. We hold space for all our feelings, name them, accept them, and if we feel so called, release them. We will build a nourishing, loving, and supportive beloved community together.
Our programming will also include a day of “Solo: Nature Kinship Day.” We will spend a contemplative day “alone” in the natural world, allowing ourselves to come into a deep sense of visceral connection, belonging, and communion with rocks, trees, waters, and all other beings on RMERC land as our relatives or kins.
We have a broader vision beyond just this retreat. Before and after the retreat, we will host online gatherings so that participants may build and maintain a web of belonging as we all respond to and serve our communities through polycrisis. This retreat will welcome back several members of the sangha who participated last year and will expand our sangha to invite a few additional locally and regionally based participants. We hope that all first-year participants will return for future retreats with this community and join the ecodharma-sangha.
**This retreat is intended to be offered at little to no cost. Food and lodging for this retreat is fully funded by the BESS Family Foundation. There will be a small registration fee for administrative costs which can be reimbursed post-attendance for students, activists, BIPOC, under-resourced, and working-class, other marginalized or under-represented groups. If needed, there are travel support scholarships available especially for Indigenous participants who are original stewards of Colorado. In the spirit of mutual care, we will invite voluntary donations (dana) at the end of this retreat to support leading teachers.
