Welcome to The Realm – Where Community Thrives

What if a space existed where you could simply be—free to move, to listen, to create, to reflect?
At The Realm, we offer immersive, intentionally crafted events that bring people together through spoken word, live music, and visual art. You’re invited to sit, lie down, journal, sketch, or join others at our silent community art table. There is no script—only a shared atmosphere of presence and curiosity.

Each event utilizes spoken word, live music, and visual art to create an experience rooted in community, one that invites both curiosity and your creative self.

The Realm is more than a performance. It is a practice in intentional gathering and open-mindedness, shaped by a shared desire to build lasting community and belonging.

We’re glad you’re here!

We acknowledge and honor the lands situated within the City of Fort Collins as the original homelands of the Hinono’eiteen (Arapaho), Tsétsėhéstȧhese (Cheyenne), Nʉmʉnʉʉ (Comanche), Caiugu (Kiowa), Čariks i Čariks (Pawnee), Sosonih (Shoshone), Oc’eti S’akowin (Lakota) and Núuchiu (Ute) Peoples. This area is an important site of trade, gathering, and healing for these Native Nations. These lands are home to a diverse urban Native community representing multiple Native Nations and Indigenous Peoples. Despite forced removal and land dispossession, they continue to thrive as resilient members of our community.
