“We are tethered to those before us, to their questions and their quiet daring, to their belief that dreaming together could shift the stars themselves.”
~ Anne Jablonski
Dear Friends,
Bringing some fun news to your inbox…
50th Anniversary Celebration and Commemoration
Against all odds and with the help of crazy miracles and hard work from a big community of people, the Feathered Pipe is celebrating its 50th anniversary! Will you come be a part of this celebration? You are invited to come to Feathered Pipe Ranch July 18-20, 2025. Learn more and RSVP
here.
Aside from being with us in person, there are several ways to join and contribute:
-- Zoom: We will also have a Zoom component (details to come).
-- Story: Share your Feathered Pipe Story (Ranch retreats and/or travel programs). These stories will become part of our Eternally Morphing Archival Project and will help us remember and honor all the transformative experiences and the many characters (yourself included) who have been a part of Feathered Pipe’s legacy.
-- Magazine: We are working on a 50th Anniversary Magazine that we will distribute this summer. The magazine will have photos, stories, art, and recipes. If you have something you think could be fun or important to include, please send us a message. In the process of doing research for the magazine, Anne Jablonski, FPF Board President, couldn’t help but be inspired to write this lovely article called Threads of Memory and Hope.
-- Donations & Legacy Gifts: And of course, donations to the Feathered Pipe Foundation help greatly for us to be able to continue our service and educational work as well as improving the Ranch facilities. Or consider the Feathered Pipe Foundation in your (living) legacy giving. See all the Ways to Help & Give or contact us.
Feathered Pipe Scholarships: Application period opens February 8 - 28, 2025
We invite those who need financial assistance to attend a 2025 program at Feathered Pipe Ranch to apply for a scholarship. This year in celebration of our 50th anniversary we will be awarding $50,000 in scholarships!

 Threads of Memory and Hope – Anne Jablonski
How do we wake up? How do we heal? How do we build a world worth living in? Maybe the answers inhabit the small, steady acts of presence and compassion we can offer each day. Maybe they are tucked in the spaces we create to dream together, to listen to one another, to imagine what might be possible if we dared to try.
