Fort Collins Rescue Mission

Book Club: Self to Lose Self to Find by Marilyn Vancil
Pssstt…do you love the enneagram? Or, are you curious about the enneagram? Or, do you hate it? Maybe read this book to learn how a personality system can help us step into our full, God-given authentic self, as opposed to an adapted self given to us by the world. Read the book, then we will gather for some light snacks and deep conversation.

Floral Potluck
All are invited to gather to make pretty bouquets together. Here's how it works: bring a bunch of flowers from your yard or Trader Joe's and a vase. Then, we'll throw them on the table and arrange away. This sweet event is a low-stakes way to get to know someone or just to have fun while being creative. (Just to be really clear: this is not a food potluck :) )
Breath + River
Some of our fine folks meet on Wednesdays at high noon to engage in breath work using the Wim Hoff Method, and then plunging in the chilly Poudre River. This weekly interruption affords us a tranquil pause, a jolt of dopamine that always gives more than it takes, and a shared experience. Interested? Meet here. (close to Legacy Park).
