A 3-night/3-day immersion into the daily life of Sustainable Settings Ranch, a whole systems learning center in the heat of West Elk Mountains near Carbondale, CO on a historic 244-acre ranch. For three sessions this year, Sustainable Settings opens its daily operations to this unique adult learning-by-doing program. This earth-based retreat will take participants through a hands-on experience that will revitalize and renew their hope for a sustainable future. These sessions are not for the squeamish or weak of heart. Depending on the session, participants will either learn how to process poultry, dress out a lamb and prepare it for a traditional argentine style asado fire roast. contact Lois Downing, 303-442-3929 or downingtlmj@comcast.net
