WE DESIRE GROWTH. WE WANT TO CONNECT TO THE BEAUTY AND POWER OF OUR BODIES, OUR BREATH AND OUR MINDS. BECAUSE FIRE, HAMMERS, AND YOGA EQUALS YES!
Join Olivia Pevec and Lindsay Gurley for a five day intensive exploration of the power and beauty of our female selves through blacksmithing and yoga. Each day begins with stoking our inner fire through yoga practice before heading into the Historic Mountain Forge to learn the ancient craft of forging hot Iron. Locally sourced picnic lunch provided by The Guest House Colorado each day is included in the cost of registration. Participants will produce work they take home with them as well as a contribution piece to the Rio Grand Archway: A monument to creativity scheduled for installation in October of this year. The Retreat will close with a riverside social at 13 moons Ranch.
Who: 12 women between the ages of 13 and 99
Olivia Pevec is the resident Blacksmith at CRMS. Her first experience with Blacksmithing was in a women’s class in this very forge taught by Alison Finn. After 15 years of working as an architectural Blacksmith she felt out of sinc with the industry and gave up her shop to pursue art, music, and Wilderness. She Performed with the Bands All thePretty Horses and LET THEM ROAR for 7 years and found the perfect combination of performance and metal work in teaching and demonstrating. Collaboration is a major theme of her work, which is how she became the Coordinator of the Rio Grand Arch way Project. The act of forging hot Iron has been her teacher of the body, mind, spirit connection most of her adult life. Olivia is also a partner in the creative reuse enterprise, Scavenger Industries.
