“Everland” is a brand new, 145-acre retreat center, located at the skirt of Colorado’s Pike National Forest, only 50 minutes south of Denver. Inside this magical paradise, you can “stay, play, and connect” says Johnny Jenkins, CEO and over-all speer-head of the inspirational new space which encourages visitors to explore not only awe-inspiring art installations, but also Mother Nature, and perhaps most importantly, themselves. The park offers something for practically everybody, regardless of age, interest, or budget. Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in a world of art, self-healing, yoga, and sound therapy, or just looking for some of Colorado’s optimal camping space to seclude yourself from today’s madness, you can find it here, or a customized cross between it all. All while remaining centered around permaculture and sustainable efforts/education opportunities.

Last week I dressed the part and headed to Apex Denver to attend their first ever Halloween showcase, Grim Rising. Circus Foundry is a brand new contemporary ensemble in Denver and they partnered with the APEX team to put on this interactive evening of food, fun and fright! This spooky circus ran for two weekends in October and was a family friendly event that was open to the public.

Read MoreUpon creation, Co-founders, Paul Bassis and Tierro Lee, were inspired to create something that would become so much more than just a music festival. They turned Arise into a movement, one that is a contribution between allegiant men and women. One aspect that stood out, which sets Arise apart from other festivals, is their dedication towards sustainable practices. Everything from the food trucks to a full-fledged carbon offset program made Arise a place you can leave feeling like you were a small part of saving the Earth and its beautiful landscapes.
