Healing Spirits will run a Recovery Workshop at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Peaceful Spirit, located on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation in Ignacio.
The group will follow the Wellbriety Community Re-entry Program model, which explores the effects of intergenerational trauma on indigenous peoples. The goal of the workshop is to create a local community of recovery.
Healing Spirits is committed to promoting community health by sponsoring family-oriented, sober activities. Community participants are welcome.

The Durango Senior Center is hosting two dog training classes this summer, with each course running for four weeks. The total cost of each course is $20.
“Bonding with your Dog” will be held from 3:45-4:45 p.m. on Thursdays. The dates are July 28 and Aug. 4, 11 and 18. The class is taught by instructor Jenni Berkman. Participants will learn ways to improve the relationship with their dogs. Participants will feel more confident taking their dogs to different places, knowing they’ll behave and also feel confident when leaving them at home.
“Manners 1” will be offered from 10-11 a.m. on Tuesdays. The dates will be Aug. 2, 9, 16 and 23. Traci Moriarty is the instructor. Whether you have a puppy or an older dog that needs “manners,” this is your class. Participants will learn leash skills and the commands “stay,” “leave it” and “pass it.”
Sign up in advance for each course by calling Greta at 382-6428.
The Animas Splash & Dash 5k will begin at 9 a.m. (check-in time) on July 23 at Santa Rita Park. The race will benefit La Plata Youth Services.
