A request for all your favorite Feathered Pipe Ranch photos… 🦋 At Feathered Pipe Ranch in 2022—Did you rub elbows with a moose or meditate with Chapati, the friendly bird? Did you say “I do” or see an awe-inspiring view? Did you eat something incredible, laugh with friends, or dance in the rain? …And capture that moment in a photo? 🦋 For our annual online LOVEfest and FUNdraiser on Dec 17, 2022—please save the date!—we are compiling a slideshow to share and celebrate the Best of 2022 @ FPR. We thought it would be fun to crowdsource some photos from all of you and get the insider’s view of your top moments. If you have beautiful photos that you’d like to share, please DM us here on Instagram with the photo and any backstory that you want to include. We can’t wait to see your pictures and relive these memories with you! #featheredpiperanch #photoshare #memories (at Feathered Pipe) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClKdhPdrlag/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The thunder beings and rain gods came to visit this morning. Ushering in another retreat group, this time with @marlaapt teaching Iyengar Yoga, as she’s so wonderfully done for many years now at the Ranch. Another day, another reason to be grateful. Happy Saturday everyone! #montana #yogaretreat #featheredpiperanch #summerrain #thankful https://www.instagram.com/p/ChNs-bZPslm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s heating up here in Helena—it hit 100°F this week—and that means more time spent in the lake! Somehow we’ve also acquired a few new floating vessels, including this blowup mattress, a standup paddle board and an inflatable unicorn raft. Stay cool out there folks! 🦄 📸 @jocelyntsan #lakelife #staycool #summerfun #featheredpiperanch #montanasummer #montana https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg2qfAFvzb7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Sunday y’all! We’ve had incredible retreats so far this season and we’re just about halfway through the program offerings. Pictures don’t do it all justice but these are a few from @sryanmt that capture the Ranch spirit. We are so lucky, so blessed to call this place home. #naturephotography #featheredpiperanch #community #belonging #eartheart https://www.instagram.com/p/CgaJg_UvKJ4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feathered Pipe Foundation founder, India Supera, once said that change doesn’t always have to be so loud—a sentiment distant from the intensity of her early life, yet a natural progression that’s stemmed from decades of watching transformation occur softly every summer in Montana. “People come [to the Ranch] and they lie on the lawn, canoe in the lake, participate in sweat lodges, laugh and eat good food. They find a place where they can be themselves, just like I was looking for all those years ago. That alone changes a person.” We welcome all people at the Ranch and aim everyday to mindfully cherish the life that exists here on this beautiful planet. Please join us, to drop the weight of human do-ing and remember the bliss of life as a human be-ing. #wildflowers #healing #naturemedicine #featheredpiperanch #summervacation #retreat #yogaretreat #bethechange https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfe2DkgBqLb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Next up on the Dandelion Effect Podcast: Rodney Yee: Honoring Ancestry and Exploring the Beginner’s Mind. @rodneyyeeyoga is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, co-founder of Urban Zen Integrative Therapy (UZIT), and the author of two books: Yoga: The Poetry of the Body and Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee. Rodney has also been featured in over 30 Yoga DVD titles and became an overnight sensation when he appeared on Oprah in 1999, selling 1 million videos the very next day! His connection with the Feathered Pipe Ranch runs deep, as he credits India Supera, Cree elder Pat Kennedy and other staff and teachers with his continued growth throughout the 15 years of summer retreats in Montana. In this conversation, Rodney talks about his experience growing up as a Chinese-American in both Oklahoma and California, his journey through gymnastics, dance, and yoga, and the epiphany of visiting Japan, where his body recognized the relief of walking through streets and dancing on stages where the majority of people shared his similar facial features. We discuss the ways that our ancestors and family history live within our tissues and the reckoning process of finding out who we are, where we came from and where we belong—a therapeutic process that can unfold and bubble up with the practices of asana, pranayama and meditation. Anyone who practices yoga in this country today can most certainly give a deep bow to Rodney, as he was paramount in helping to spread yoga across the West. He continues to teach worldwide today, expanding self-care techniques to healthcare workers, veterans, teachers and other industries. #yoga #yogatherapy #rodneyyee #dandelioneffectpodcast #featheredpiperanch #ancestors #beginnersmind https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7Q0SELIzV/?utm_medium=tumblr
