New year's resolutions, you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. I’m more of a onesmall-change-per-week kind of a person, but once the pandemic hit, everything went out the window. With the dust still settling on what our “new normal” really is, annual resolutions just seem confusing to me. Like are we really going back to those old things again? Of course, I do think keeping healthy choices front of mind daily is crucial to wellbeing, which is why I’m excited to share that we’re taking a bird’s eye view this month on what it means to be well. It’s so much more than a number on a scale; it’s a mind, body and spirit connection. It’s what you eat, how you move, what you feed your mind, the music you listen to and so forth. We explore local companies and brands offering products and services that are good for you—and the community—through sustainable practices and giving back initiatives. And if there’s anything we’ve learned during the past year, it’s that loving where you live is important, but it’s also good for the soul to plan a few nights out! We explore upcoming entertainment options to mark on your calendar and where to grab a bite while you're out. Let’s toast to a new year and a mindful reset, day in and day out. Salute!

During her 18-year-long background in international development, Winter Wall witnessed first-hand women advocating for their independence through creating their own businesses in East Africa and South Asia. Empowering these women, small business owners would soon become the core component of Winter’s Denverbased company Kebon Coffee. She founded Kebon Coffee in 2020 during her career’s travel lull because of the pandemic, all to offer the highest quality, single-origin coffee from women-owned producers around the world and support entire communities in the process. To Winter, access and dignity are a major part of worldwide poverty alleviation. When Winter started Kebon Coffee—and thus talking to women business owners and friends in Uganda and Guatemala where she’d done much of her international development work and lived for some time—most shared that access to capital and larger markets is their main impediment. Kebon currently sources beans from Uganda, Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica. Winter started partnering with coffee growers in Uganda, like Gloria. Gloria started her company Endiro Coffee in 2011 and hires from

within her community, where she offers a training program for vulnerable young women and men. “There’s so much data to support that, when women are successful financially, they invest in all the avenues that create sustainable livelihoods,” Winter says. “Investing in women is investing in communities. When I see women starting businesses, it’s not just about that single business.” Winter says that the women business owners she’s partnered with around the world tend to focus on creating occupational and educational opportunities, pouring money into their community’s schools and churches, or financing healthy and accessible food options for impoverished families. While a lot of funding options help minority small business owners to get off the ground, “support mechanisms and guardrails drop off for scaling and growing women-owned businesses,” Winter says. There aren’t as many foundations or corporations looking to help sustain these companies once they’ve been established. Kebon provides its partners with resources, expertise and support from a network of other women who own coffee businesses.

“

The most effective way to promote economic stability and sustainable livelihoods in emerging markets is to invest in women,” Winter says.

As a part of the 49 billion dollar annual market for coffee in the United States, Kebon Coffee currently mostly sells direct-to-consumer online through individual purchases or the company’s subscription model. As companies start thinking more and more about fair-trade sourcing and supporting sustainable supply chain practices, Kebon Coffee is expanding into retail and corporate clients too, selling subscription models and larger quantity coffee bags to businesses. Winter says it’s an intimate honor to be invited into people’s homes every morning for their habitual routine, especially during the pandemic when an action as small as brewing a few cups of coffee throughout the work-from-home day is all that keeps some sane during such an otherwise monotonous time. COFFEE FROM AROUND THE WORLD Though Endiro Coffee in Uganda produces a deliciously aromatic bean with cherry notes, Winter wanted to expand her single-origin coffee offerings while also supporting growers elsewhere in the world. Many smaller coffee producers are often a part of a larger growing cooperative so they can provide a higher volume, Winter partners with individual farms within these co-ops to offer consistent quality from specific growers.

I NSP IR E D BY | FOOD + C ULTURE

Mother-daughter team Ellen and Ashley Prentice work on and manage Gento farm in Guatemala, which produces coffee with tasting notes of chocolate and citrus. Kathia is Kebon’s partner who runs Cloza Farms in Costa Rica, which grows beans with warm honey and caramel notes. Kathia’s Cloza Farms received the Women Care Certification for Kathia’s commitment to empowering women in the coffee industry. Kebon’s coffee from La Hondureña in Honduras comes from producers Socorro Reyes and Norma Lara, who work hard to disrupt the specialty coffee industry by fighting for fair pay for farmers and funneling that money back into their community. Grown in the La Labor region of Honduras, these beans come with hints of green apple and caramel. Winter is in early conversations to partner with co-ops in Indonesia, as well as a woman-owned co-op in Mexico and growers in Columbia, where coffee growing is an incredibly male-dominated field. Winter has also created a coffee community centered around women online through Kebon Coffee’s blog, where she posts a few pieces a month about storage tips, how to use coffee ground leftovers, their partners, and how to make espresso without an espresso maker.

DENVER MUSICIAN ANDY HALL On Why Ambient Music Is the Medicine You Didn’t Know You Needed

ARTICLE BY GWEN GRAY PHOTOGRAPHY BY TRENT GROGAN

For those who know the music of Denver’s Grammy-award-winning bluegrass band the Infamous Stringdusters, resonator guitar player Andy Hall’s latest solo album “A Universe Within” hits a surprising note. The music trades bobbing bluegrass notes for soothing and meditative ambient compositions. He spoke with us about the project, which was born of the pandemic and features a music tradition he compares to “aural CBD.”

HOW WERE THE SEEDS FOR “A UNIVERSE WITHIN” PLANTED, AND WHY DO YOU THINK YOU CRAVED A PROJECT THAT DIVERGES SO NOTICEABLY FROM YOUR WORK WITH THE STRINGDUSTERS? I actually have a very vivid memory of being maybe 8 years old and my mom taking me to an outdoor arts-and-crafts event. I remember walking up to this artist’s tent with these beautiful fantasy paintings of castles on a mountainside. The music that was playing was this new age music and the whole scene just drew me in. I asked the artist at the booth what the album was and bought the cassette tape of it. I was obsessed with that album. I was also listening to all kinds of other things, you know, as a kid in the ’80s. But from that moment, there was always a place for ambience music and new age music for me. With the pandemic lockdown, it was finally an opportunity to work on purely a passion project. It was a quiet time, being home all the time. And there were a lot of difficult things happening in the world. This type of ambient music gave me a place to go and reflect.

I’VE HEARD YOU DESCRIBE NEW AGE MUSIC AS “HEALING,” AND I’M WONDERING WHAT ABOUT IT YOU FIND HEALING AND WHY? Ambient music takes its time. It’s slow and it creates a space for you be calm. So much of life is very fast paced, and we’re always

A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | EN TE RTAI NME NT

busy doing all we want to do to be accomplished. But for me, I need time to be quiet and reflect, and ambient music creates that space. It literally calms the nervous system down. It is aural CBD for me.

WHAT MUSIC ARE YOU LISTENING TO FOR PLEASURE LATELY? I’ve checked out Billy Strings’ new record, and Greensky Bluegrass has a new single out that I love. Iron Maiden put out a new record that’s cool. There’s a great band called Ozric Tentacles that I love. They’re kind of like instrumental-prog-psychedelic rock. I also love Washed Out, which put out a record last year. One of my girlfriend's favorite bands is Band of Horses. We caught them at the Mission Ballroom, and they were fantastic. I also went to Levitt Pavilion this summer and saw The Polish Ambassador and Robert Randolph.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU’RE ESPECIALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2022? I am excited to be back touring with the Stringdusters. Bringing people together to hear music is just such an important thing. The Stringdusters have an album coming out in February called “Toward the Fray,” and we’re doing a big tour with Greensky Bluegrass in the winter. So I’m really excited for more music, more touring and more of the things I love to do.

eat more pozole YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO GET TO KNOW LA DIABLA POZOLE Y MEZCAL, DENVER’S FIRST POZOLERIA

ARTICLE BY ALLYSON REEDY PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF THE RESTAURANT I was saved by a bowl of pozole. That’s not quite true—it was two bowls—but the sentiment is the same; nothing heals like a long-simmered broth, stirred with chiles, garlic, cumin and other mending spices, and studded with hominy and fork-tender meats to replenish all you’ve lost. If you’re less-than-familiar with pozole, well, you’re like many people in Denver. La Diabla Pozole y Mezcal is the city’s first restaurant devoted to the traditional Mexican soup. We may not eat it much here—yet—but in Mexico City, where chef/ owner Jose Avila is from, slurping pozole is as common as munching on tacos. And he’s ready to lead our pozole awakening. “I wanted to open a pozoleria to showcase dishes and concepts from where I am from and prove that Mexican food is more than just tacos and tequila,” Jose says. “Although pozole creation is labor intensive, it’s worth it to provide the people of Denver an authentic experience.” Typically, he says, people in Colorado have discovered pozole when someone’s

mother or grandmother make it for a special event. But in Mexico, pozole isn’t a special occasion only dish. It’s an everyday staple, eaten to celebrate the small victories, to patch a broken heart, and, like it did for me, to restore your health when you’re sick. Like you’d find in Mexico, La Diabla features a range of pozoles, spanning four colors (verde, blanco, negro and rojo) as well as a chayote squash and mushroom vegan option. The red chile and pork packed rojo is the best-known version in the States, but La Diabla’s best-seller is the verde, a style simmered with tomatillos and serranos that’s popular in northern Mexico. Jose’s favorite is the spicy, garlicky pozole negro. “It’s the most unrecognizable style, using traditional flavors and techniques from Yucatan, Mexico,” he says. Soon, La Diabla will add a pozole flight to the menu, so guests can try them all and pick favorites. All bowls are loaded with hominy, chewy, dime-sized kernels of corn that Jose finishes himself at the restaurant

via a flavor and nutrition-enhancing process called nixtamalization. He also grinds the corn to make the tortillas used for the restaurant’s tacos. (Yes, there’s a taco menu at La Diabla, complete with mouthwatering fillings like birria with bone marrow, and red snapper with pineapple butter.) And then there’s the mezcal. “The addition of mezcal to me went handin-hand from a historic standpoint,” Jose says. “Mezcal being one of the first Mexican spirits, and pozole being one of the first Mexican dishes, it just made sense.” The bar boasts more mezcals than you should ever attempt to drink in one (or two or three) sittings, and a mezcal and tequila based cocktail menu with fun offerings like the MILF (Madre I Like Fiesta) made with Madre Espadin mezcal, tequila, mango habanero puree and citrus. If there’s a common thread at La Diabla, it’s bringing the lesser-known food and drinks Jose grew up with in Mexico to his Colorado audience. Because we, too, deserve the rich, soulful pleasure of being saved by a bowl of pozole.

FROM NEW YORK’S BROADWAY TO COLORADO DENVER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS’ 2022 LINEUP Denver Post owner Helen Bonfils and Broadway producer Donald Seawell started the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in the 1960s. Over the last several decades, staff continues the two’s legacy, creating professional theatre at Denver Performing Arts Complex with classic and world premiere Theatre Company performances and Broadway shows. Check out Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ 2022 lineup:

BROADWAY TOURS Since 1977 when the Denver Center for the Performing Arts put on “Hello, Dolly” and several other shows, the organization has brought at least six shows a year, and sometimes three or four times that many, to Denver before or after their run in New York. Starting November 18, the center is putting on 30 shows through 2022, including classics like "Cats," "Jersey Boys," "Moulin Rouge," "Riverdance" and "Tootsie."

AIN’T TOO PROUD—THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS OCTOBER 25 - NOVEMBER 6

HADESTOWN AUGUST 30 - SEPTEMBER 11

This new Broadway hit follows quintet The Temptations’ musical journey, from Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the personal and political conflicts of brotherhood and loyalty that came along for the ride. Including soulful dancing and smooth harmonies to their classic songs “My Girl,” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” among others, The Temptations’ legacy lives on through this production.

An amalgamation of underworld myths, “Hadestown'' follows Orpheus and Eurydice, along with Hades and his wife Persephone, into Greek folklore’s version of hell. Though Orpheus proposes to Eurydice in the land of the living, Hades soon lures her into the underworld, forcing Orpheus to visit Hadestown and make a deal to save his bride-to-be. In the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Buell Theatre, actors navigate themes of industry versus nature, doubt against faith, fear and love.

COME FROM AWAY OCTOBER 4 - 9 Set during the week following the 9/11 attacks, this play tells the true story of some of the 7,000 stranded passengers who spent time in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada when 38 planes were ordered to land there after the trade center’s collapse. As travelers meet the town’s residents, tensions run high during the infamous tragedy’s immediate aftermath before survivors learn to trust one another, turning to new friends during such a difficult time.

IN THE UPPER ROOM FEBRUARY 11 - MARCH 13 Based in the 1970s, this play follows the Berrys, a multi-generational, Black family living in one house set in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Kilstrom Theatre.

Over the past several years, Cherry Creek North has transformed from a place to visit for shopping and dining to a place to stay for several days. Of the five hotels to pop up within the 16-block community, Halcyon was the second to open its doors, back in 2016. “Adding hotels has been huge for the identity of Cherry Creek North,” says Halcyon Director of Sales and Marketing Candace Duran. “It’s so inspiring to be part of the maturation of the district. They make it easier to stay past 5 p.m., which keeps more people in the neighborhood and supporting area businesses.” The area’s hotels have noticed a shift in the type of visitor since reopening doors post-pandemic lockdown. These days, room and occupancy rates in Cherry Creek North are nearing pre-pandemic levels, which is especially reassuring compared to the industry’s national recovery. “Cherry Creek North has emerged as a premier travel destination for guests near and far,” says Nick LeMasters, CEO of the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District.

Now is the perfect time to recalibrate with a staycation at Halcyon, an independent hotel located right inside the neighborhood. Halcyon’s name, inspired by a mythical bird fabled to calm seas, shares characteristics with Kingfisher Bird—representing happiness, carefreeness and peaceful tranquility. The hotel, with a street reputation for being the ideal spot for design-lovers, features a chic, laid-back ambiance with all the indulgences of a modern, luxury hotel. It’s easy to let go when you have access to all its amenities like the handcrafted lattes, fresh fruit and baked goods from the Kitchen Counter, which are perfect when heading out to wander the neighborhood. On the way back in, be sure to partake in the daily wine and beer happy hour offerings. In-room amenities include a record player with a small selection of vinyl, beverage cooler, yoga mat and an array of art in various media, such as sculpture, photographs and prints of paintings and more. To round out your stay, spring for tickets to a show at The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, or pamper yourself with a spa experience at one of the many neighboring locations. Halcyon offers complimentary access to Denver Botanic Gardens and a Wellness Passport, where guests can work out at any of its Cherry Creek fitness partners for free. Partners include CorePower Yoga, SoulCycle, Barre3, TruFusion, and CLMBR (formerly Rise Nation). Dine on-site at Local Jones, with its sophisticated yet approachable atmosphere filled with numerous locally sourced (and delicious!) menu items, and or at Quality Italian, a modern take on the Italian-American steakhouse nestled inside a warm, industrial interior, serving scrumptious handmade pasta. Chat it up with the hotel staff to learn details about a cocktail club, hidden away in the basement. (Hint: You’ll need a reservation and the password to enter through the alley.) Burn off extra calories at Halcyon’s in-house fitness center, at the rooftop pool (with killer city views) or borrow equipment for nearly any seasonal outdoor activity at the hotel’s complimentary Gear Garage, offering cruiser bikes, hamboards, tennis rackets, KOTA longboards, sleds, snowshoes, boardgames, Adventure Kits, you name it. If you’ve got a good distance to travel, where on-foot or by bike doesn’t make sense, borrow one of the Piaggio scooters to take for a spin. Up on the roof, challenge friends at the hotel’s curling patch, bookings come with a bucket of beer or Topo Chico, or listen to live music. HalcyonHotelCherryCreek.com

RECONNECT BACK TO NATURE

This new Colorado Springs residence gave its occupants the ability to spread out and enjoy the last year in lightfilled spaces connected to nature. The design approach divided the house into two wing-like forms connected by a see-though glass entry. The gracious sliding glass doors open most rooms to patios, decks and outdoor spaces.

If there’s one thing business owners Emily Kaler, Bella Conte and Lily Walters know and love, it’s vintage. After individual stints with pop-up markets around the greater Denver area, the Lost Room ladies banded together with a community-minded vision rooted in sustainability and inclusivity. According to popular reseller, thredUP, the secondhand market is supposed to double in the next five years. Lost Room is sure to be a part of this growth, with aims to give clothes a second (or third) life. Not to mention, their prices are accessible, helping consumers combat fast fashion and feel less pressure while shopping. “Our main goal in sharing vintage with the community is to help people feel confident in themselves through outfits while also bringing awareness to keeping clothes out of the landfill,” Lily says. They do just that, and then some. With certain resellers missing the mark on size inclusivity, Lost Room goes the extra mile offering something for everyone and every body. “We’ve had customers come in and share that they’ve never been able to find vintage. Now they are repeat customers. It’s been a really special thing to experience because of the availability of sizes,” Bella says. With three distinct styles and keen eyes, the Lost Room team has curated a colorful collection of items ranging from furniture and coats to cowboy boots and Y2K baguette bags. More recently, in an attempt to foster community involvement, they held a coat drive for the winter months.

“We host monthly events that allow us to spend quality time with the people who are shopping at our store,” Emily says. “This also offers a platform for smaller local artists to share what they do!” In the future, they hope to expand and transition into a larger and more permanent space. Personal styling sessions will soon be available for those looking to jump start their wardrobe.
