While 2014 was a year for big transitions, 2015 will be the year for big realizations! Our biggest aspiration for 2015 is to become a full-fledged non-profit with the aim of: expanding our current community services such as recycling and re-using glass bottles and jars; educational programs about ethical wildcrafting and safely using medicinal herbs; keeping the Tea Parties free and featuring local healers; bringing Dr. Kathi Fry back to Nederland to do a free lecture series about using the Boiron (the little blue bottles at the Co-Op) Homeopathic remedies safely and effectively at home for you and your family; we want to be the first to “adopt” a County Road in Gilpin County; collaborating with and supporting other local non-profits in community outreach.

Make sure to stay up to date with our Book Club, too! I have joined a program sponsored by Random House called “Blogging for books” (very cool for you book lovers out there!) so I’ll be posting fresh, fun and inspiring reviews about a new release every month!

Last year our most popular event was our Winter Retreat – and we’ve got big plans for this year, too! More guest articles, in person teachings, videos and more! Put this event on your calendar: February 8th through February 14th! Join us for healing on the deepest level – share with your friends – practice for yourself and for the world.

I hope you are enjoying all of our great programming and I hope you are planning to join us for 2015! In order to keep our programming free we rely completely on your support. So far we have raised $317…and we have a week to go! Help us make it to $1,000 by December 31st by making a donation today!

Thank you and Happy New Year! -Arwen and everyone at the Holistic Homestead
