Community Calendar

This program is produced by the Foreign Policy Association, whose mission is to foster public awareness, understanding, and informed discussion of U.S. foreign policy and global issues

Our local discussion series is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of La Plata County, the Durango Branch of the American Association of University Women, and the Durango Public Library. From the second week of February through the second week of May, participants meet every other Tuesday from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the Durango Public Library, 1900 E. Third Avenue.

Each session begins with a professionally produced video and brief lecture from the Foreign Policy Association, followed by a lively 90-minute discussion led by volunteer facilitators from our community. An accompanying Great Decisions briefing book is available for purchase from the Foreign Policy Association, and a reference copy may be consulted at the Durango Public Library Reference Desk.

All discussions are free and open to the public. More details and full descriptions of each topic at www.gddurango.org

There's no required reading for these "nontaditional" book clubs, just a topic/genre to discuss and plenty of delicious snacks to enjoy!

This month we'll be chatting about writing that focuses on the natural world!

Tuesday, April 7, 10:00 am: Wee Read and Move toddler story time at Fort Lewis Mesa Library. Stories, movement, and songs for 2- to 4-year-olds and their caregivers.

We’re gathering on Wednesday, April 22 at the Durango Collective (1315 Main Ave), a place to come together with other women, slow down, and step into a more sacred, intentional space for connection and conversation.

Whether you’re new to Durango or have been here most of your life, this is a place to land, meet like-minded women, and share in deeper, more honest conversations.

Doors open at 8:30 AM for connection and gathering.

At 9:00 AM, I’ll guide an envisioning exercise, followed by a conversation around what’s been coming up in your life, what’s shifting, what’s asking for attention, and what you might be wanting more of.

The first sessions are free. Space is limited.
