The Gift of Growth This year, our Holiday wish is simple - let's bet on traditions instead of things.   Sure, we mean all the cozy classics of parties, family rituals, Holiday events, songs, gifts, meals and more. But we also mean investing into the social practice of creating and maintaining traditions large and small in our daily, weekly, and monthly lives.   Now, more than ever before, we're feeling a collective loneliness that has some known antidotes - book clubs, hiking groups, couple's date nights, supper clubs, and yes, even weekly or monthly trips to hot springs:) Whatever it is, gathering with purpose deepens our communities and connections. In other words, it's the gift that keeps on giving.   So naturally, our gifting advice is almost ALWAYS to spread deeper connection through new experiences instead of old stuff. From nightly stays to soaking passes and workshops down to community music nights, we're betting on the basics - hot water, good conversations, and a healthy dose of presence. Be Well Workshops   Join us on Dec 13th as we jump start our systems through the practice of the Wim Hof Method of using ones mind, breath, and body to lean in to our wild nature while confronting natures harsh conditions.   Under the training of certified instructor Shelley alongside the musical gifts of Billy, this one day workshop will introduce participants to the methodology and practice of this technique to promote a healthy nervous system and strengthen your cardiovascular muscles all while experiencing the power of music, movement, storytelling, and more. ⁠ Meals, soaking, and optional overnight packages are certainly a new way to gather.   Wim Hof Method   New Year, same you. But which you? Join us on Jan 17th with Return to Self, a one day creative immersion in partnership with Maven and Heal from Within.   Through journaling, Qi Gong, water meditation, and shared reflection, you'll slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the steady rhythm of your whole self.   With Tessa from Maven (a community that empowers women entrepreneurs) and Scott from Qigong and Tai Chi Utah, we'll be guided through the art of movement, expression, writing and sharing in order to ground ourselves for the year ahead.    Meals, soaking, and optional overnight packages available.   Return To Self Gift Cards   Most gifts, when unwrapped, tell their story right then and there. Adventures, however, require the recipient to live them before the gift is truly given. In an era of instant everything, consider giving the gift of the entering the unknown.   Save 10% on a nightly stay gift card if purchased between now and Christmas! code: experiencesoverstuff Gift Card Yurt Magic   Each Winter, our Forest Yurt relaxes into her purpose - To gather you around rest, learning, play and conversation. From pop-up massage days, Solstice yoga classes, fireside acoustic shows, and thought-provoking Curious Conversations, you're invited to explore our Calendar of events taking place within her walls.   Most experiences are included as part of your nightly stay while others are available as delightful additions to your water-based getaway. Yurt Experiences Interested to make this yurt your group basecamp as part of a daylong field trip, holiday party, family gathering, milestone celebration or more?

Gather in Purpose  It's about this time of year when we all begin to experience a surge in gatherings. From Thanksgiving dinners to a wide variety of holiday parties, this inward season tends to pull us towards our people, and thankfully so, we might add.   Yet, far too often, we gather in principle, not in purpose. Perhaps because it's what we've always done, not because it's what we need moving forward. Which often means we're rolling the dice when in comes to gathering in purpose. We all know that annual dinner with friends or the party with our 200 extended relatives where we go through the motions of convening, talking, eating, maybe even playing some game, but we leave wondering....   What was that for? Did I deepen any relationships or just regurgitate superficial updates? Did I meet anyone new, try anything new, learn anything new?   Most importantly, did I create any new experiences or memories that expand my priceless relationships?   In our experience, magic rarely just happens. It requires you, the host, to weave purpose into every stage of your gathering by asking a simple question at the start - when this experience is over, how do I want my people to feel about our purpose? This year, what do we need? To laugh? To learn? To build new memories?   Gathering in principle is the who, where, when - our family has an annual holiday party...   Gathering in purpose is the why? - our family needs to laugh really hard together because we're divided politically and we need to remember what connects us.   Clearly defining your purpose will inform everything about the design and flow of your moment. This Holiday Season, our hope for our community is to support you as you pioneer gatherings built in purpose.   Whether on our shore or in your home, we're committed to be a canvas for connection all season long. From guided sauna circuits to our Black Friday Yoga Fest along with musical surprises in the yurt to contrast therapy workshops, our purpose is simple - to expand the way you think about your inner and outer landscape. Alt Black Friday Returns! with a twist...   For the last 5 years, we've hosted an annual tradition - Do Good Be Well, An Alt Black Friday Yoga Fest. Held on Black Friday and born out of the obvious truth that shopping for stuff that nobody needs with money we don't have is rarely a path to wellness, we've dedicated this day to rest, connection & stillness through yoga, movement, music and more.   Over the years, we've donated tens of thousands of dollars to causes along our watershed - from the Shoshone Cultural & Interpretive Center to efforts addressing mental health, our Great Salt Lake, & even efforts to prevent the dam along the Bear.   This year, our commitment to giving back has outgrown our Fall capacity during Alt Black Friday so we are excited to announce that a new watershed fundraising Music fest & experience will take place this Spring! Stay tuned!   It also means that Alt Black Friday this year, Nov 28th is still hitting our shores but with even more gentle offerings spread throughout the day. From fireside yurt yoga to riverfront aquatic flows along with breath work, guided sauna circuits, patio pizza and more, this is your invitation to ditch consumerism and discover connection.
