Soul Retrieval is a powerful Shamanic practice that restores lost or fragmented parts of the soul. These pieces of our souls essence are often separated from the self due to trauma, intense experience of life events. Some symptoms of soul fragmentations are depression, unhealthy coping skills, looming negativity, low energy, disconnection from self and others, self abandonment or an over all feeling that something is missing. Within this session we will talk about the importance and power of soul retrieval, some of the shamanic history within this practice and you will be lead by a trained shamanic healer on a guided journey to retrieve your soul.

We are so excited to welcome Daniel Rodruiguez to theGROVE! 

Daniel is a dynamic figure in the Americana psychedelic folk rock scene, crafting songs that resonate with depth, authenticity, and a touch of magic.  Originally a founding member and key songwriter for Elephant Revival, he has since established a prolific solo career that transcends the roots of his musical beginnings. Known for penning Elephant Revival classics like "Birds and Stars”, Daniel embarked on a solo journey following the band's dissolution in 2018. His solo debut, the EP *Your Heart The Stars The Milky Way*, was released in 2019, marking a new chapter in his artistic journey. This was followed by his first full-length album, *Sojourn of a Burning Sun*, in 2020 under BMG Records, earning acclaim for its introspective songwriting and emotional depth.

Beyond the studio, Daniel has captivated audiences across North America, opening for The Lumineers during their BRIGHTSIDE World Tour in 2022, performing in sold-out arenas including a memorable homecoming in Denver before 40,000 fans. His collaborations have spanned genres and generations, sharing stages with notable artists such as Gregory Alan Isakov, Ben Harper, Jim James, Dispatch and John Craigie. Daniel is currently touring with Trevor Hall. 

In December 2021, The Lumineers released a rendition of one of Daniel’s original songs as the darkly humorous Christmas song, "This is Life (Merry Christmas)," featuring Daniel Rodriguez. His latest album, *Vast Nothing*, released in March 2023, explores new dimensions of his sound, blending Americana folk with layers of psychedelic rock, creating an ethereal yet profoundly grounded experience. His lyrics weave a magical realism within the human experience, themes that resonate deeply with listeners.

Daniel’s sound is often likened to artists such as Iron & Wine, Josh Ritter, Jose Gonzalez and Gregory Alan Isakov, with whom he shares a commitment to lyrical depth and evocative storytelling. Today, Daniel leads his band, known for their unique blend of psychedelic folk rock and Americana, and continues to tour solo, offering intimate concerts that highlight his lyrical prowess and storytelling. Based in Colorado, his music echoes the untamed spirit of the Rocky Mountains—chill, humorous, and imbued with a gentle yet powerful essence that defines his style. Daniel Rodriguez's music is not just heard; it's experienced, creating unforgettable moments of connection and transformation.

Primarily celebrated for his artistry, Daniel has also ventured into music production, working with a select group of artists. His involvement in production, while more recent, showcases his ability to assemble skilled teams and guide the creative process to finely tune each project's sound. Daniel's thoughtful approach to production, focusing on enhancing and aligning with each artist’s vision, has gradually made him a respected figure in the production community. His contributions, though selective, reflect his deep understanding of music and his commitment to quality in every endeavor.

Just before 2025's Summer Solstice we invite you bring your walking stick to theGROVE and put it to use as a both a Walking Stick and a Talking Stick.

The idea of this workshop is to approach the day's outdoor exploration/walk/hike without curriculum. The idea is to take our steps onto the path, not guided by our Teacher (purportedly me) but open to the Teachers we may find on our way. The idea is to arrive with water bottle, and no ideas save for where the journey begins. The other ideas will be found on our way.

"Does the Native American story of the hawk, which just came to mind when I spied that nest, suggest a way of moving though the understory for some a few minutes?"

"Does that lichen's pattern remind me of a breathing diagram from an old Tibetan painting which contains lessons on meditation? Well, yes it does! May as well practice it now in the underbrush."

On our way, the Teachers will be revealed. The lessons will become plain. We have but to open to them. And then engage with them. With our bodies, our minds, and whatever else fits into our backpack. We'll have a few Teachers of the naturalist variety and the Shamanistic variety along for the ride. There'll be plenty to prod you to find your Teacher.

We'll enter the forest path with sincere intentions set and our beings prepared and open to any opportunities crossing our path. There may be song, story. There may be poetry, art. There may be encounters with the sacred, there may be sublimely simple bodily expressions. Whether the lessons are healing, growing, or remembering we will commune in community with all that is earthly.

Your guide, Stephen Watson is a Dàoist unteacher. That's me! - I'm as a Dàoist is the unstuffy philosopher joyously interested in all the stuff...and all the nonstuff. The Dào is both the Way and Waymaking/Wayfinding. To live is to move, to move is to journey, and to journey is to make a path. Whether we see a path ahead or fail to hold to the path we propose for ourselves - we always make a path. Necessarily.

The Dàoist knows that the Way of path-going and path-making is what is important; not where we go but how we go. To find our (unmarked) Path along the (marked) path we will explore the natural possibilities to practice Poetry and process profound presence found on our way.

Qìgōng, Tai Chi, and meditation skills from a variety of the world's traditions are likely to be encountered. We may breathe into our bones and lift stones. We may listen to our cells and rearrange seashells. We may clamber and kick, we may expand our worldview by squinting at a chrysalis. We may shape song into Art and part pine boughs to reveal Poetry. We may express and experience healing methods from still-present Ancestors. There are many games and exercises in the woods. A Shaman is open to them. Such games teach of the Dào, the Yīn and Yáng of everything.

Let's blaze the path of engagement with all we are connected to. On our walk it may be a bit of lichen, a patch of mud, or a strange, insightful story. Remain engaged and the How will come to you through Play. Remain engaged and the Why will dance with the Why Not.

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."
-Albert Einstein
