013. happenings
JULY 8, 2024
Hi friends,
 
Greetings from Mongolia, where we're about to embark on a ten-day adventure through the Orkhon Valley in deep nature, sharing time with Mongolian shamans, riding wild horses, experience local artisans, and celebrating their cultural festival Naadam. We love hosting unique trips like these, and have so many others we're dreaming up. We love to partner with our community, so know if there's anyway you'd like to collaborate. 
 
More important than the events we host, are the ones you, our community, host. As you'll see in our happenings list below, summer is abundant with beautiful events, offerings, and workshops hosted by some special humans. We invite you to try meet new friends and experiences! And we love hearing about it, so give us a ping if you do! 
 
With love, 
Elyse and Zach
