Place
Places to excavate and explore the overlap of spirituality and geography.
Farm
Small-scale organic farming in Colorado is demanding. The arid and often unpredictable climate is the first burden, followed by the challenging economics of land, water, and living costs. It is a path only the most passionate take, and a lifestyle few stick with year after year.
BBQ Restaurant
Adrian points out Roaming Buffalo is like many Bar-B-Que restaurants that have limited seating space. Although small, it is conducive to beginning conversations with nearby tables of regulars, out-of-towners, home-sick Texans, and those enjoying “Colorado Craft BBQ”
The Bakery
The bakery is a sacred place. It's where simple ingredients - flour, water, yeast - are transformed through skill and patience into bread and pastries. There is nothing like the anticipation for freshly baked bread or a perfectly laminated croissant.
Farmer’s Market
The farmer’s market is more than a seasonal way of purchasing raw and prepared foods. It provides a place to cultivate an embodied connection to those who grow our food. The farmer’s market is where we learn to value the farmer and the food. The farmer’s market is a sacred place.
Grocery
The grocery, market, or deli is the place of life where food is provided locally and personally. Eugene Peterson described his father’s occupation at the local butcher, “We were sacrificing animals all the time, so I thought of my dad as a priest. He acted like a priest and lived like one. He knew everyone’s name.” The grocery is a sacred place.
