IFS Informed Emotional Intelligence Workshop
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM

  Looking to transition your mindset? To learn more about the way your emotions affect you and others? To improve your communication skills? Then this two workshop series is just what you need to improve your Emotional Intelligence (EI). The goal of emotional intelligence coaching is to enhance intrapersonal and
interpersonal communication. These workshops are for everyone, providing you with the tools to gain awareness of your own and others’ emotions, the reactions that may stem from them, why you have them, and how to formulate more productive responses.

Emotional intelligence (EI) has been defined as the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to recognize their impact and to guide one’s thinking and actions to productively solve problems and regulate behavior (Salovey & Mayer, 1990).

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a practice that enables a person to hone these skills. The principles of IFS coincide nicely with the branches of EI. When people are aware of emotions, the reactions they elicit, and the subsequent anticipated behavior in others, this will enhance interpersonal communication and the ability to modulate their own actions and responses to elicit a productive and beneficial outcome in themselves and others in any given situation. ** All are invited to join!

Saturday, April 26, 2025 AND Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM

Ride For Mo

 The Moriah Wilson Foundation invites gravel riders to celebrate the sport Mo loved in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont on May 10th, 2025. All proceeds from registration fees will benefit the Moriah Wilson Foundation: To promote healthy living and community building by supporting organizations dedicated to expanding access to recreation, sports, and educational programs. Take a look at the organizations we supported in 2024 on our website.

This is not a race but a day to join Moriah’s spirit on the roads she grew up on and loved. This event is about bringing the community together with gratitude for life and inspiring each other to face the hard climbs together. All entry fees include a meal & beverage ticket, live music by Brett Hughes and Friends, lawn games, a hand made ceramic mug – made by Kate Gray of GRAYHILL MADE, hydration from Untapped and Skratch, mechanical support from Specialized, and well-marked gravel courses with aid stations.

The post ride celebration will once again take place on the beautiful grounds at The Wildflower along the iconic Darling Ridge Road. Specialized has donated a Mountain or Gravel Bike to be raffled off for the third year in a row! Check out our sponsor list to see who will help make all this happen- we are so grateful for each and every one of you and every rider who participates!

One big change is a new route designed for riders who want something a little shorter with less climbing. This route goes out on Maple Ridge towards Newark with beautiful views. Then dips down and back up to Maple Ridge making a fun lollipop loop with just about 1,600 vertical gain in about 16.5 miles. Thus it’s earned the name: Maple Pop
