Wilderness RidgeVisiting Author - Michael Clair - We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball: How the Czech Republic's Ama
Author and MLB.com reporter Michael Clair visits to talk about We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball, his new book on the Czech Republic’s national team and its improbable rise to the international stage. Drawing on time spent with the squad during the 2023 World Baseball Classic, Clair recounts how this homegrown group of amateurs broke through by toppling Spain in qualifying and then defeating China in the tournament to earn a place in the 2026 edition. The roster balances day jobs in firefighting, teaching, auditing, and groundskeeping, with a neurologist managing the club, yet they still faced down stars like Shohei Ohtani. The book explores how teamwork, sacrifice, and conviction can carry a small program with limited resources and a modest player pool into world competition. Clair specializes in international baseball and the World Baseball Classic, has appeared on MLB Network’s Carded and Inside Stitch, has contributed to Baseball Prospectus and Japan’s Number magazine, and received MLB’s 2024 Global Ambassador Award. The story is framed alongside other famous underdog breakthroughs such as the Jamaican bobsled team in Cool Runnings, Leicester City’s Premier League shocker, and the United States’ 1980 Olympic hockey upset of Russia. Early praise comes from Tyler Kepner, Rob Neyer, Craig Calcaterra, and Czech manager Pavel Chadim.

Bierhaus MaisschälerAwaken: A Weekend Immersion in Yoga
Awaken: A Weekend Immersion in Yoga Have you been practicing yoga and sensing there's more to the story? More depth, more meaning, more to understand about what you're actually doing and why it works? Awaken is designed for exactly that — for the person who is sincerely interested in yoga and ready to discover the philosophical framework that makes yoga so much more than an hour on a mat. This is a weekend spent in good company, with room for questions, conversation, and practice. You'll leave with a grounding in yoga's core teachings that will inform and enrich everything you do on the mat, and off it. Not a teacher training program, not a retreat — a genuine immersion into the heart of what yoga is and how to live it. What We'll Explore Yoga is a complete system — philosophy, anatomy, and practice woven together. The asana practice most of us begin with is not a stepping stone to something more spiritual; it is itself a rich and inexhaustible source of inquiry. The body is always changing, always present, always offering something worth paying attention to. What the broader teachings of yoga give us is a framework that makes the whole practice more legible — and more alive. Over the course of the weekend we'll move through three pillars of that system: Samkhya is the ancient philosophical system that forms the metaphysical foundation of yoga. It offers a remarkably clear account of consciousness and matter, and of what it means to be a human being navigating this life. We begin here because everything else — the vrittis, the kleshas, the eight limbs, the practice itself — makes more sense when you understand the worldview it comes from. The vrittis and kleshas — the fluctuations and obstacles of the mind — are yoga's account of the problem. The vrittis are the movements of the mind; the kleshas are the deeper conditions that keep it entangled. Understanding these is understanding what yoga practice is actually working with and why it matters. The eight limbs of yoga, as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, is the practical path — yoga's answer to the problem the vrittis and kleshas describe. Most people who practice yoga know asana, the third limb. The other seven are equally rich, equally practical, and equally worth your time. The Schedule Friday Evening | 7–9 p.m. We begin with a two-hour introduction to Samkhya — the metaphysics of yoga and the philosophical foundation of the entire practice. Saturday Morning | 9–10:30 a.m. & 11 a.m.–12 p.m. Join one or both of our regular Saturday classes — a Level 2 class and a beginner-friendly back care class — both included in your registration. Saturday Afternoon | 1–5 p.m. We explore the vrittis and kleshas — the fluctuations and obstacles of the mind that yoga practice is designed to address — and begin our study of the eight limbs of yoga as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Sunday | 9 a.m.–12 p.m. We close with a practice session and continued lecture and discussion on the eight limbs of yoga. About Your Teacher Jessica Girija Jewell been practicing yoga for 27 years and teaching for 12. In that time, yoga has been many things to her — a physical practice that has grown slower and richer with the years, a healing tool, and perhaps most importantly, a framework for learning to live with greater kindness and compassion. The philosophy has helped her understand who she is, why she's here, and how to be in this world. It is the most useful thing she knows, and she loves teaching it. Her approach is conversational and accessible. She is not here to lecture from a distance — she's here to learn alongside you, to answer your questions, and to make these teachings as alive and useful for you as they have been for her.
