Planet Jupiter goes retrograde in the early morning hours of June 15th, joining asteroid Chiron and Neptune in their apparent backward motion through the late degrees of revolutionary Aquarius. This ongoing planetary convergence constellates an evolutionary shift of individual and collective consciousness, opening doors of heightened awareness and changing perception. For all of us, this is a time to see the forest for the trees, look at the bigger picture and open our hearts to the multi-faceted possibilities of our ever-expanding Universe. Forgiveness, compassion and spiritual generosity are tools for crafting a new global reality, based on the principles of equanimity, equality and acceptance. We are all together on this planet as one family, one evolving force. We are interconnected, inter-related natural creations, affecting each other via our thoughts, words and deeds. We must detach from petty thinking, racial bias and economic or cultural exclusion, and instead recognize the common denominators of our existence, share common visions and take a leap of faith that we can heal each other and ourselves with acceptance and loving-kindness.

Flashback: Telluride Bluegrass Festival 2000. Sugar Hill Records had several oldies but goodies in the lineup. John Cowan was appearing with his new group, Lonesome River Band. Also on the scene were Seldom Scene, Jesse Winchester and Sam Bush. With Nickel Creek, the label also featured strong Gen Zeta talent.
Nickel Creek proved that the youth brigade was not all about skin-flashing and razzmatazz. Two of the musical whiz kids in the new group were a brother and sister act, Sean Watkins (2/18/77), guitar, mandolin, and vocals, and Sara Watkins (6/8/81), fiddle and vocals. Sean and Sara are back in town 10 years later for their encore at the 36th annual Bluegrass Festival, June 18 – June 21. (Star fiddler Luke Bulla was also in town that year with Ricky Skaggs, another-wet-behind- the-ears superstar in the making.)

Telluride can be a scrappy town, but just as quickly, it is a place that wears its heart on its sleeve.
It's Day One of Sheridan Arts Foundation's Wild West Fest, a program that brings 50 inner city children from Boys and Girls Clubs all over the country to town every spring for a week of exciting learning programs under the guidance of talented local mentors. My name is Jennifer Nyman-Julia. This is my 11th year as the Mentorship Program Director, and I really love my job.
