This week on “Voices of Taos,” editor Geoffrey Plant talks to Anne-Marie Emanuelli, mindfulness and mediation teacher and founder of Mindful Frontiers, a BCorp dedicated to promoting community wellness through mindfulness. Anne-Marie also writes a monthly column for the Taos News, “Families Meditating Together,” and offers guided meditation recordings through the Insight Timer app.

Geoffrey and Anne-Marie discuss how she became interested in meditation, why she first decided to bring mindfulness into the classroom, and why using meditation and mindfulness to help us “get out of our own minds” can be so helpful in today’s world. 

Anne-Marie also talks about mindfulness practitioners who have influenced her — Ram Dass and Thích Nhất Hạnh — as well as methods to help give the mind something to focus on, such as labyrinths and breathwork. Through Mindful Frontiers, Emanuelli offers both groups and individuals a variety of ways to bring mindfulness and meditation into their lives.

This week on Voice of Taos, editor Geoffrey Plant and assistant editor Ellen Miller-Goins sit down to recap some of the most notable stories from 2025.

First Geoffrey and Ellen discuss a number of significant area residents who passed away in 2025. Notable ski community members Elisabeth Brownell and Walter Ruegg, major conservation figure Tony Benson, and WWII veteran Valdemar DeHerrera are just a few of the remarkable citizens lost last year.

Last year was also full of major headlines. From courtroom battles and cultural turning points to heartbreaking losses and moments of collective resilience, 2025 reminded Taos County what it means to be a community shaped by history — and still very much in motion. From Renaming Red Willow Park and the reopening of Stray Hearts Animal Shelter to the effect of federal policies on local jobs and major accountability stories involving local government and public institutions, Geoffrey and Ellen talk about a wide variety of stories that made an impact in 2025.

2025 Year in Review with Geoffrey Plant and Ellen Miller-Goins

This episode is brought to you by the NCRTD Blue Bus.

This week on Voices of Taos, copy editor Emily Sender talks with Fritz Hahn, former Taos town councilor, Cornelio Basin volunteer and Taos acequia expert.

Fritz and Emily discuss the restoration efforts in the Cornelio Basin — a 25-acre piece of land in the heart of Taos — as well as possible future plans for the property.

Once a seasonal gathering place for Puebloan peoples and later a productive farming area sustained by acequia irrigation, the basin later fell into disuse and eventually came under town ownership.

Fritz talks about recent rezoning efforts that protect the basin from development, as well as a federally funded restoration project focused on water flow, invasive weed removal, and reintroducing native plants. Hahn envisions a future for the basin as a wild space in the heart of town. He also talks about the importance of wild spaces as a legacy for future generations.
