Community Calendar

Run, walk or trot with Girls on the Run Utah as we celebrate the season of giving. This early bird turkey trot is perfect for young kids, families and friends. Come out in your favorite turkey attire or make a donation for fun turkey swag. The 5K event is non-competitive and will not be officially timed.

In the spirit of community, we will be having a donation drive benefiting the Fourth Street Clinic. All new or clean and gently used winter gloves, hats and scarfs will be collected. ✨

Girls on the Run Utah is a nonprofit after-school program that empowers 3rd-8th grade girls of all abilities to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun curriculum that creatively integrates running.

Facilitated by Davina Smith, first Diné woman to run for the Utah House of Representatives and the leader of the first prayer run from Bears Ears National Monument to the Salt Lake Capitol.

5 CEUs included for Utah Mental Health Professionals

In this experiential journey, Davina Smith, a Diné woman born in Monument Valley and currently running to become the first female Diné representative in our state’s history, will guide us back into the origin stories of the land, of the indigenous communities who have lived here, into the rippling impacts of colonization, through to the new beginnings ahead.

Together, we will step through different perspectives, emotional healing, and resilience training as we gain deep understanding around our own personal and collective histories, and the opportunity to reconcile past trauma into current meaning on our own journeys.

Following the indigenous blanket experience, we will come together within a Talking Circle, a traditional indigenous ritual of teaching, learning, and healing in spirit.

The day will include guided embodiment, writing practice, a communal ritual, an opportunity to connect in small groups, a community circle, and of course, there will be gorgeous poetry woven throughout.

I deeply believe in the power of an intentional community coming together to practice movement and stillness, quiet and connection, inviting our love and gratitude, inviting the difficult guest of grief, and, having been tenderized by those wise guests, freshly visioning how we might bring our unique gifts to co-create the more beautiful world we wish to see manifest. As Francis Weller says, “This is the solitary work that we cannot do alone.”

What I won’t do in this gathering is stand in front of you and talk and talk and feed you a bunch of information as if I’m the expert on what you need.

What I will do is invite your fully embodied presence, the wisdom and the concerns, the blessings and the aches, the gratitudes and burdens, the hopes, dreads, visions, creative inspirations, and unique gifts to come more clearly into awareness so they can offer their wise guidance. You’ll have an opportunity to share in a supportive community where it will all be met with respect, care and encouragement.

We’ll take enlivening, fresh perspectives on what’s unfolding in our lives by seeing with new eyes, and we’ll invite clarity to emerge to guide us as we return to our life, renewed, embodied, and inspired to begin again, going forth at least half a shade braver.
