John Denver Celebration

To start off the week, come and meet new friends and old friends as they gather for a meet and greet at the beautiful John Denver Sanctuary.

Informal nightly sing-a-longs have been a yearly tradition. This year will depend on COVID restrictions and availability of a gathering location to do so safely. Any updates will be announced.

This year is the 45th anniversary of the Windstar Foundation and the 35th anniversary for the first Windstar’s Choices for the Future Symposiums. Both were very important to John and also to many other people. Come learn about the history of the Windstar Foundation and its beautiful and spiritual land - from indigenous times of the Ute Indians, as a working farm, part of the Pabst beer family, occupied by the St. Benedict Monks, owned by John Denver, and into the present and the future. Also experience highlights from the Choices Symposiums. Choices was sponsored by John Denver and Windstar, took place each summer for 10 years, was attended by thousands, and featured prominent speakers from all over the world. Both Windstar and Choices were truly “ahead of their time” and have messages and visions still relevant today. Hosted by JP McDaniel and others who were involved with Windstar for several decades, this celebration will highlight stories, video clips, photos, and special moments from Windstar and Choices. Price: $15 at the door
