Guest Therapist Jo Johnson, March 20 – 22

If you haven’t had a chance to enjoy Zero-Balancing, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience this unique treatment for bone-held tension. Administered over clothing, micro-adjustments throughout the body offer a profound experience of release and realignment.

Guest Therapist – Avery Runner

Coming to us March 28 & 29. Avery specializes in vibrational therapy. He offers soothing and relaxing sessions, utilizing tuning forks, singing bowls, rattles, and sound healing tools gathered from diverse cultures and modalities.

Avery provides complete tune-up services and therapy to balance your electromagnetic field. (Electromagnetic fields combine invisible electric and magnetic fields of force. They are generated by natural phenomena like the Earth’s magnetic field, but also by human activities, mainly through the use of electricity.)

Aura Tune integrates many masterful modalities, including:

  • Biofield Tuning of Eileen Day McKusick
  • Planetary Frequencies of Hans Cousto
  • Human Tuning of John Beaulieu
  • Tao of Sound of Fabian Maman
  • Various sound healing techniques from Pythagoras, Australian Aboriginals, Alchemists, Hazrat Inayat Khan, and dozens of well-established teachers and traditional sound healing systems.

Please call us today to book a 45-minute aura tune session for $100. 

43rd Annual Monte Vista Crane Festival

March 6 – 8, 2026

Sandhill Cranes and other migratory birds follow a long route during their seasonal migrations. Along the way, there are many places where you can stop and view these beautiful creatures. So what makes the Monte Vista Crane Festival unique? We believe it is a combination of unmatched scenery, exceptional wildlife viewing, and the friendly, welcoming communities of the San Luis Valley.

At the Monte Vista Crane Festival, you can enjoy thousands of Sandhill Cranes, ducks, and geese flying against a backdrop of mountain scenery. Raptors will adorn the power poles and owls will be sitting with their young. A visit to the Monte Vista Crane Festival is an opportunity to see an amazing natural spectacle as well as experience a unique rural community.

Many people come from across the country to attend. If you wish to ensure lodging, book your stay today!

Dark Sky Dates

Below is a list of dates you may wish to observe for dark sky viewing. 

  • March 3 – Full moon
  • March 3 – Eclipse
  • March 19 – New moon
  • March 20 – March Equinox

There’s nothing like the wonder of a constellation-filled sky, with celestial bodies lighting up the night. And when it comes to stargazing, that’s the only type of light you want to see. Areas with little to no light pollution are sought for clear viewing opportunities. Special steps include adding shielding units to outdoor lights so that light is being directed down and not up, minimizing blue lights, and limiting the luminance levels from area signage, to name a few. DarkSky identifies places with high-quality nighttime environments and advocates for conservation and managing outdoor lighting to help protect these areas and keep them enjoyable for stargazing.
