Our inaugural gathering on April 8th was such a huge success, we’re gathering again this Wednesday, April 15, at the Durango Collective (1315 Main Ave), a place to come together with other women, slow down, and step into a more sacred, intentional space for connection and conversation. Whether you’re new to Durango or have been here most of your life, this is a place to land, meet like-minded women, and share in deeper, more honest conversations. Doors open at 8:30 AM for connection and gathering. At 9:00 AM, I’ll take you through an envisioning exercise and process, followed by a discussion around what’s been coming up in your life, what’s shifting, what’s asking for attention, and what you might be wanting more of. This is very much a work in progress. These early gatherings are a chance to explore the idea together and shape what this becomes as a group. Why we gather: - To reconnect with your own inner wisdom through reflection, conversation, and shared experience. - To be seen and supported in a space with other women who understand. - To step out of the noise and into something more real and grounded. - To remember who you are beneath the roles you carry. What to expect over time: - A shared envisioning process, both personal and collective, where each woman’s voice helps shape what this becomes. - Conversations inspired by Jungian psychology and Eastern wisdom. - Occasional guest speakers bringing depth, insight, and lived experience. - A space where you can exhale, speak honestly, and find meaningful connection and support. Your thoughts, ideas, and perspective are not just welcome, they’re an important part of this. You’re welcome to come, listen, and share as much or as little as you’d like. The first sessions are free. Space is limited. ???? Save your spot here: https://wildnewway.myflodesk.com/womenscollective0415

While trying to sing lead and harmony parts with the group, Joel lays down…the foundation on his upright bass.

Terry has been entertaining Strater guests and locals for years! Terry grew up playing in rock bands around the Boston area before moving to southern California. In the 80’s and early 90’s he played all over Orange and L.A. counties as a solo guitarist-vocalist. He played in many fine clubs and restaurants such as the Rusty Pelican in Newport Beach and Captain Jack’s in Sunset Beach, just to mention a couple. He now lives in southwest Colorado and plays at resorts, clubs and restaurants throughout the Four Corners area. Terry’s musical roots are classic rock, but after living in Colorado for some time he can also do a full night of country music. He can also mix in some blues, reggae, contemporary rock and his own original compositions. Terry also has an excellent three-piece band that plays a wide variety of music.
