Slow Down & Live
The Slow Down series of events at Sunrise Ranch is about taking time to connect with Source - the source of our food, our creativity, our original power. Through its diverse offering of arts workshops, Slow Down and Live will create a collective current of creativity ripe for artistic expression - an ideal setting for those looking to awaken or reawaken their artist within.
This full day of activities (10AM - 9PM) will be held at Sunrise Ranch, a beautiful retreat center that facilitates the realization of creative potential through its slow pace and soul-nourishing atmosphere.
Slowly enjoy two meals made from mostly locally-sourced, natural ingredients: Dinner by Chef Giuseppe Monaco, co-founder of Loveland’s top Italian restaurant, Monaco Trattoria. He’ll prepare a 4-course authentic Italian meal using our grass-fed beef from Sunrise Farm paired with local wine from Snowy Peaks Winery.
