Techstars Startup Week West Slope

If you feel like you’re working against the tides or just want things to feel more joyful in business, join Krista Trofka for Elemental Astrology for Business Owners. We’ll explore how the stars can help you thrive as an entrepreneur, as well as a primer using astrology to identify your business strengths .. and blocks. It might be weird (or maybe just unexpected), but if you’re craving a new perspective, join us with an open mind as we dive into how the cosmos can help you thrive.

The format of this presentation is to dig into how during the toughest year to date in modern times, (2020) we as Coloradans have the power to heal ourselves through nature and to process the ripple effect of the pandemic (or a once busy life pre-pandemic) to reset our way of living and heal so that we can show up at work as a happier, healthier, person with a full life of authenticity and intention. This presentation is for anyone curious about healing in nature from hiking, those who struggle to disconnect from work and technology, and those that have realized that healing begins from within to live a more purposeful life while having various Colorado nature as the backdrop on a journey of hiking and processing feelings in the outdoors. Attendees will learn about nature deficit disorder, the impacts of mental health from COVID-19, the great spike in being outdoors during COVID-19 lockdowns, and why nature will make you look at life more different than before. You will learn about resiliency and gratitude. In the pandemic, our mental, physical, and emotional well-being has been impacted, and the good news is that we can process and release these feelings within the outdoors in a healthy manner.

Virtual book club meeting to discuss "The Third Wave" by Steve Case. Discussion led by Brian Watson.

Participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the book prior to the discussion. 

We'll begin by meeting for a hike at Holy Bucket trail head, off Little Park RD. There we talk about the benefits of engaging with nature through physical presence and creative thought, all in the efforts of achieving an overall refresher. Personally I like to go to nature when I need a new perspective, a moment of fresh air to clear my head, think on ideas, sketch through the process.

I'll provide a series of helpful activities both physical and creative to get the juices flowing. I encourage people to take away these creative practices to better their wellbeing, elevate their happiness and gain a deeper appreciation to the natural world. The natural world has a healing power that anyone can tap into, one just needs to visit often and apply that mindset to themselves and or business.

Participants are encouraged to bring a camera, sketchbook, notepad, journal, ect. In the idea of making something inspired by the outdoors (poem, sketch, photo, journal, ect.) or process though ideas.

Please note this event is occurring IN-PERSON ONLY and will not be broadcast virtually. Thank you!
