Our Resilience Rising program is still underway - including our Rural Resilience Studio, a monthly series of creative, reflective workshops hosted in partnership with The Church Project in Monte Vista.

Each session invites participants to slow down, explore creativity, and connect—with themselves and with one another. Workshops are facilitated by local and regional artists and offer accessible entry points into storytelling, reflection, and mental wellness through art.

Join us in March (and monthly through May)! No art experience required, just curiosity and an open mind. We can’t wait to create with you!

😎 Smooth vibes, good energy, and a whole lot of gratitude. 👂

This week, the Wellness Center had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Cathy Di Maggio for her very first visit—and Wow, did our community show up. About 31 folks settled in, leaned back, and trusted the process (yes, even with a few tiny needles in their ears 😌).

Cathy brings the art of ear (auricular) acupuncture—a gentle, non-invasive holistic therapy that works with specific points on the outer ear to help support balance, healing, and overall well-being. Calm rooms, open minds, and a collective exhale… that’s our kind of Friday.

We’re incredibly thankful for a community that’s curious, supportive, and always willing to try something new. The plan is still coming together, but let’s just say—you may be seeing a lot more Cathy around the Wellness Center, especially on Fridays. Better keep your EAR to the ground for more info...

From all of us here at the Wellness Center: Thank you for making this space what it is. Cool people, good energy, and wellness in every step. ✨

Join us this Friday!

The Rio Grande Hospital Wellness Center is excited to invite you to a FREE ear acupuncture session!

🗓 Friday, February 6th
⏰ 10:00–11:00 AM
📍 RGH Wellness Center
🚶 Walk-in only, no appointment needed

Join us as Cathy Di Maggio introduces ear acupuncture (also known as auricular acupuncture), a gentle and non-invasive holistic therapy that uses specific points on the outer ear to support healing and balance in the body.

The ear is viewed as a map of the entire body. By stimulating certain points using tiny needles, ear seeds, or gentle pressure, practitioners may help influence the brain and nervous system—supporting overall wellness.

Potential benefits may include:
• Pain relief (headaches, chronic pain, tension)
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Support for addiction recovery and cravings
• Improved digestion
• Overall balance and well-being

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about and experience a natural approach to wellness. No appointment is needed—just stop by!

We look forward to seeing you there.

We are very excited for the next Resilience Rising event at The Church Project!

Sunday February 8th will lead us through some time travel!

Full description:
We Have Nothing But Time
Learn how to wield time through collage and creativity. This hands-on workshop invites participants to question their relationship with time and space while creating hand cut mixed media collage. Artist and cultural worker Lares Feliciano will lead a discussion on the intersections of time, movement, and creativity - is time fixed or is it a malleable material meant for us to shape and shift? Collage is the act of deconstructing existing material in order to reconstruct it into something new. Much like time, collage asks us to take what we know, rip it into parts of itself, and venture onto new horizons. This workshop is for artists, leaders, and community members who are looking for a creative reset to energize and nurture their work. Materials provided

In partnership with RGH Wellness as part of the Resilience Rising initiative with incredible support by in a Field Work Grant. The Closet Recording Studio will also be open to sit with .r.ahlborn to share stories of resilience for a bigger project called Resilience Record, a podcast series.

Thank you all for your dedication and openness to learn and build community together!

Friday Journaling Prompt: What do I need more of this month—and what do I need less of?

This isn’t about overhauling your life. It’s about tuning in. What feels nourishing right now? What feels like noise? Let your answers be small, honest, and doable.
