The Enneagram is a wise and helpful tool to personal development and professional development. It gives us a map to find our inner guidance according to our personality type. Ancient wisdom tells us there are nine personality types, and we lead with, or have, one. An assessment test is provided before the seminar to help begin the exploration of which type you have. The beauty of the Enneagram is that it leads us to expanded self-awareness and compassion for ourselves and others. TWN member and Enneagram teacher and coach, Jan Reynolds, will lead an introduction and overview of all nine personality types in this seminar.

Hike Ridge Trail from Mountain Village to Top of San Sofia/Gondola Down to Lunch in Telluride at Uno Dos Tres. Join us for a lovely hike from mountain village to the top of San Sofia Station on Ridge Trail. We will then take the gondola down to Telluride for lunch at Uno Dos Tres. The hike will be approximately 2 miles with a 1000 ft elevation gain. With its valley views and peaceful switchbacks throughout the aspen forest, this trail is a local favorite. Bring, water, hiking poles, hiking boots, rain jacket, backpack, snacks if needed and a hat. NO Dogs, please.

Ashley Boling of the Telluride History Museum will lead an interesting history tour in town from 10:00am – 11:30am. We will then enjoy a buy-your-own-lunch at a downtown restaurant. Registration will close 1 week early on September 2 to allow for tour confirmation.

Let’s enjoy a relaxing tea ceremony with local, Jade Rose before having our Tarot cards read. Jade Rose is co-owner of Living Tea in Telluride and has been a student of tarot for over twenty years. She is the author of three books on Tarot and has been teaching meditation since she was eighteen. After the tea ceremony (three bowls of tea in silence), we draw cards for the entire group and then for those present who want personal readings. Tarot card reading is like looking at oneself through the clarifying reflection of an intuitive friend. In these sessions, you are invited to participate as Jade interprets the tarot cards you draw from the deck. You will leave this session feeling honored and held in reverence. The practice of tea ceremony and tarot can allow you to feel reconnected to your intuition.

This a long, tough, beautiful hike. 13 miles with 3200 vertical feet of elevation gain. We start at the Deep Creek trailhead off Mill Creek Road by the water treatment plant. There is plenty of parking. From Deep Creek to the Sneffles trailhead is a steep switchback trail a little over a mile. Then we will continue to climb to the scenic sneffles trailhead with stunning views on both sides of the mountain range. We will see a waterfall about halfway and then climb over scree and descend back to the Jud Wiebe trail. We take Jud Wiebe back to Aspen street. The trail peaks at 12,200. You will need a lunch, plenty of water and snacks, a rain jacket, hiking boots and poles, layers, a hat. Well trained dogs welcome if you bring their food and water. We will not wait to search for lost or misbehaved dogs.

Let’s get creative.

We will join Telluride Outside for their Rivers of Telluride half-day guided fly-fishing trip, including gear, 1 guide per every 2 people. Among the last free flowing rivers, the San Miguel is Telluride’s backyard gem, a stream where the angler enjoys all of the natural components of trout fishing. Water levels and temperatures are in constant flux as snowmelt, rain and sun influence the streamflow. The San Miguel possesses a rare diversity of aquatic insects which hatch throughout the year, including many species of caddis, stoneflies, mayflies and midges. We have over 20 miles of high quality public water downstream from Telluride, so our guides move freely, potentially fishing several sections of the river in a day. Noted for natural beauty and feisty trout that eat dry flies, our beloved San Miguel is a gifted fly-fishing classroom.
The $308.50 fee covers a half day of guided fly fishing, full set of fishing equipment & gear (fly rod, reel, waders & boots) as well as transportation to and from the river. A tip for the guide (15-20%) is greatly appreciated at the end of the trip. Bring layered clothing, sun protection, fleece layers, rain jacket, hat/cap, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, water bottle and a camera or phone.
ALL ANGLERS 16 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER MUST POSSESS A VALID COLORADO FISHING LICENSE. Licenses may be obtained in person at Telluride Angler or online. To purchase your license in person, please stop by Telluride Angler a day or two prior to your trip.

Ah Haa School for the Arts will provide the painting class instruction and supplies, and TWN will provide the wine and bites for this creative and fun class. Express yourself freely or have a photo ready for guidance.

After registering, a link to complete the Ah Haa liability waiver will be sent to you directly.

Come ride through historic Schmid Ranch and enjoy a box lunch at the most scenic view spot on the ranch overlooking the Wilson Mesa. This will be a relaxing 3 hour horseback ride guided by our local wrangler Piper Crabtree and another Telluride Wrangler.

NEW DATE!! TWO SLOTS Available! There are only a couple dozen different via ferrata routes across North America, and we’re lucky to have two of them in the beautiful San Juan Mountains. For those who have enjoyed the Telluride Via Ferrata, you’ll find the Ouray Via Ferrata to be a complimentary but quite different adventure. The Ouray Via Ferrata follows the course of the Uncompahgre River through a deep gorge. The Ouray route is entirely cabled, and requires lots of climbing up and down rungs, with elements built into the experience such as wire bridges and ladders. The Ouray Via Ferrata can be technical and physically challenging. The route, in length, travels only approximately 0.8 miles along the canyon wall, but typically takes between 3-4 hours to complete.

Mountain Trip guide(s) will lead us along the way. Appropriate footwear is required: hiking boots, trail runners or approach shoes.
Wear comfortable trekking shoes or boots and clothing, a light warm layer, and a rain shell. Bring a small backpack with a water bottle, snacks and sunscreen. Mountain Trip will provide all helmets, harnesses, and Via Ferrata lanyards. Participants must fit the Black Diamond Momentum Harness, which fits up to a 41-inch waist. For lunch and hot springs afterwards, bring a bathing suit and a change of clothes.
Mountain Trip guides have a variety of ways to provide additional security to any climbers wishing it. Fee of $125 charged at Registration. Additional Gratuity - 20% of the cost of the trip ($38) is recommended at time of trip.

We will join Telluride Outside for their Imogene Pass 4WD half-day trip. Tomboy Road climbs to Imogene Pass from downtown Telluride to a summit of 13,114 feet. The half day trip to Imogene via the Tomboy Ghost Town is their single most popular tour. Tomboy Road is an intermediate 4-WD road, bumpy and airy, but not as tricky as Black Bear Pass or other truly advanced routes. This is a well-suited trip for most customers. Kids, seniors and everyone in between enjoy the thrill of high country adventure and the colorful history of Telluride‘s most famous gold mine: Tomboy.
In addition to Tomboy, tour highlights include the "Social Tunnel," the summit of Imogene and the Red Mountain Overlook, which offers astounding views of the towering Weminuche Mountains to the east. Fee of $125
