Itinerary
At Civic (Re)Solve, it is our practice to share a very detailed agenda in the week leading into our gatherings. In the meantime, here’s a quick overview of what you can expect.
Your accommodations and all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) will be taken care of by Civic (Re)Solve. We recommend freeing your schedule to stay fully engaged throughout the gathering.
The site of our gathering is the beautiful Surf Hotel, which is located in Buena Vista’s South Main neighborhood on the banks of the Arkansas River. Most of our sessions and activities will take place in or around the hotel, with a few exceptions. Take a look at the map for information about self-guided hikes, coffee shops, and other options for getting to know the area.

* House Ceremony with Jasper Young Bear
Many of you have participated in the sweat lodge ceremony with Jasper before. Due to current fire restrictions, we won’t be able to gather in the lodge this year, but Jasper is inviting us instead into a House Ceremony — a sacred Indigenous spiritual practice rooted in many of the same teachings of prayer, healing, reflection, and collective focus. The House Ceremony emerged, in part, as a response to colonization and the suppression of Native ceremonial ways following the 1883 Indian Religious Crimes Act, when many communities began gathering quietly inside homes to continue their songs, prayers, and connection to the unseen world. Over time, it evolved into its own distinct form, allowing elders, children, and larger groups to participate together in ceremony.
Led by Jasper Young Bear, the ceremony will take place in the Wellness House and center around a sacred altar built through prayer ties, tobacco offerings, fire, and focused intention. This is not a performance or workshop, but a living ceremonial practice where presence and respect are essential. The ceremony will last approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours and include song, silence, reflection, and pauses for grounding. Participants are asked to arrive with openness and intention, refrain from alcohol or substances beforehand, and wear comfortable clothing for sitting. Water will be provided. Participants who wish to bring a personal prayer intention into the space may arrive anytime within the hour before the ceremony begins. Jasper will be available to receive them, sit with them, and accept tobacco offerings.
