2015
2015 WORKSHOPS & INSTRUCTORS included:
Angela Sheehan Look Ma, No Hands – Long String Leviwand Wraps This is a long string wand class for intermediate wanderers (though beginners are certainly welcome to come play). We will begin to explore how to direct the path of the wand using elbows, wrists, and other body parts instead of just our fingers/hands. We’ll also begin working with neck/body wraps which are not only a lot of fun but also help to heighten the illusion of your spinning by freeing up your hands from direct contact with the string. Kara Daly Let Hoop Be Thy Medicine – Hoop In this workshop-meets-ritual, we will use the power of intention, hoop dance, and a little magic to activate a healing process around a part of our life that needs some extra love. We’ll practice the ancient art of dancing with what is, and play with raising our vibrations to create space for change to occur. This 45 minute workshop will be taught by Kara Daly, who currently lives in Boston but will be re-locating to Colorado in early September. We are very excited to welcome her to our Colorado Flow Family. Check out her website for more info: http://

Gathering in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. Great Turnout!! Gorgeous location! Thanks to the Fort Collins Hoop Circle for their continued work and dedication to put on a great event.
Colorado World Hoop Day 2013
1st Colorado World Hoop Day
This was the first year we gathered the Colorado flow community to celebrate World Hoop Day world wide.
World Hoop Day Charitable Contributions
World Hoop Day is designed to put hula hoops in the hands of kids across the globe to help spread and promote peace, health and happiness through hula hooping! Please help by donating new or very gently used hula hoops and/or money to assist in the World Hoop Day mission.
Call Out to our Global Hoopers
♥ We are also working with several community groups to get hoops and lessons to our great local kids in our local areas. ♥
Please contact us if you want to be an ambassador in YOUR community to help out (getting them new and gently used hoops and teaching, too!). The more people we have, the more kids we can help get healthy, happy, self confident. And who knows what great things they may do ♥
Do you know of a local kids group in need? At-risk youth, foster kids, big brother/sister, mentoring programs? Let us know!
Stronghold Society
Colorado World Hoop Day is also donating hoops to a great cause within our own community: Stronghold Society
Along with thousands of volunteers, and supporters such as Def Leppard, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, Vans, Nathan Maxwell of Flogging Molly and The Bunny Gang, and many more, Stronghold Society helps native youth gain connection, community and valuing life by providing skate parks on the reservations.
With the hundreds of contributors and attendees of Colorado World Hoop Day, we are going to bring in hoops, too! Spokesman and Stronghold Society founder Walt Pourier has such a big heart when it comes to helping others, you just can’t help but want to contribute.
“Stronghold Society would be honored to be a recipient of your hoop foundation crew–would be fun for the young girls. (And perhaps) a class here locally in Denver and even get hoops to the Rez in South Dakota. Thank you for thinking of us. Much love.” ~Walt Pourier
