6:00 PM - 7:30 PM - Spaceship Earth: What Can I Do to Help?
Laurie's favorite class in college was entitled “Spaceship Earth,” a term coined by Buckminster Fuller around 1952. "On the first day of class, we were asked to close our eyes and “imagine we’re on a spaceship, way out in space. We’ve only got so much air, so much water...” I got it right away! That’s us, Earth. We have a limited amount of resources that will not be replaced!
These are the kind of stories I share in my multimedia presentation, Spaceship Earth: What Can I Do? along with art, photography, science, and live music! While having fun, folks learn simple actions we can all take for a healthier planet. This engaging presentation encourages the use of both the left and right parts of the brain, making for an even stronger impact."

10:00 PM - 10:45 PM - Evening Yoga (Wednesday)
For our evening yoga class, we will be focusing on RADIANT HEALTH with a bow toward stress reduction through breath and body work. This will be a gentle, decompressing class, preparing us for sleep and for the surrendering of any of the day's challenges. Everything around us in this beautiful Red Rock area of Utah shows us that things are changing, even if very slowly. We are also constantly changing and evolving to fit the stressors we are subjected to. We will be mindful as we do some poses that help restore and heal our bodies and hearts.
