"Hoping on a daily basis is difficult, especially in times of depravity. Maybe the trick is to hold on to something that astonishes, that urges us into some unfathomable beyond, that sustains our faith in the possibility of sanctuary, relief, change for the better."
~ Anna Badkhen
Dear Friends,
The summer in full swing in Montana and we are thoroughly enjoying this season at Feathered Pipe Ranch. We've been fortunate to have lots of rain making way for plentiful wildflowers and a fresh forest. Wildlife is abundant with frequent moose, deer, and butterfly sightings and the more occasional bear, mountain lion, and great blue heron visits.
 We invite you to explore the magic of Feathered Pipe Ranch with our drone video experience! It's been a year in the making. Special thanks to Jonathan Lee of
Subtle Dream for the amazing videography and to Matthew Marsolek for the original scoring. The video is here for a virtual visit any time you need a Ranch fix and to share with friends.
Are you ready to visit in person? Please consider joining us in an upcoming retreat. July 23-30 Baxter Bell and Melina Meza will share their wisdom and their fun in Cultivating Everyday Awe: Yoga, Nature and You! Come enjoy the serenity of the Ranch, the scrumptious (and nutritious) food, laugh and learn with Baxter and Melina. If you'd like to test out them out
virtually before signing up, you can try their mini-class.
See you soon!
With gratitude,
Crystal Water
Executive Director of Feathered Pipe Foundation

Dandelion Effect Podcast - Baxter Bell & Melina Meza: Sleep, Setting Boundaries & Seasonal Wellness
Today, they join us from their home in Oakland, California to talk about the power of routine, the physiological effects of being in community, the roles that sleep (by 10pm!), local foods and 20 minutes of daily exercise play in your overall health, and how setting boundaries can be the ticket to finding more space—and creativity—in your day.
We dip our toes into the rich wellspring of wisdom that the ancient health sciences of Ayurveda can offer our busy, modern lifestyles. Plus, Baxter walks us through breathing techniques to strengthen the respiratory system for focused prevention against COVID-19 and other seasonal colds and flus.
