What's a Sunday in the Mountain West without a good pioneer story?
And if you’ve got to spread a pioneering gospel of forging new paths into new territories, it may as well be about two badass queer women leading this community into a modern day settlement of ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
In case you haven’t already met Mel & Aubri, our resident hosting managers, their pioneering story of hustle, grit, heart, & endurance is also now yours. So listen up as we recognize the fact that THEY have done something nobody ever has over the last 5 years.
Today is their last weekend loving and laboring as our hosting couple. Typically a 6 month role, they are dipping well into 10 months of holding space for each and every one of us.
Guests, team, plans, plants, and even water has been artfully guided through nearly a full year. Not only have then completed a job well extended and equally well done, they’ve done it with an attitude rarely found in those pressed under the weight of a land project under 4 seasons of change and challenge.
Words will always fall short when describing what it takes to hold this space, so for now, we are excited to say that words of gratitude alone are not their only celebration.
After they get some well-needed rest, Mel and Aubri will continue on pioneering with our team as our General Manager(s)! Together, we will pioneer ahead on our path to become the first Certified B Corp Hot Springs while also charting our course to build an immersive bridge between farming, food, and the future of this off-grid educational basecamp.
Friends, like any good pioneers, once that destination is reached, the opportunity and work that awaits clearly just begins!
So, join us bearing witness to the many path’s they have navigated to lead us all right here, right now.
Congrats Mel & Aubri on a job well done, a marriage well loved, and a life well smiled. You leave people and places better, stronger, and more seen than you found them.
