Looking for a fresh reset?! Come join us for this program designed to help you manifest what matters most in your life. In this in-person class, connect with community, have fun, and discover the tools that will help you realize your aspirations. This course is led by Mark Fallon-Cyr, a Harvard psychiatrist who has dedicated his life to helping others live more successfully. He has worked with children, adults, and families in the Four Corners region for over 30 years.

Join retired UNM History Professor John Kessell for a look at the legacy of an important member of the Dominguez and Escalante Expedition.

It’s fitting that we recognize the Spanish mapmaker on Earth Day. Thanks to Miera’s painful vision quest around the Four Corners in 1776 with Franciscan friars Domínguez and Escalante, we have the earliest revelation of a vast expanse of the Earth that can be seen from space today—the Northern Colorado Plateau, Eastern Great Basin, and Great Salt Lake. Don Bernardo wasn’t the most patient of trail mates. Worse, recurring stomach cramps made him irritable. Small wonder then that Miera got crosswise with Domínguez and Escalante.

The Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College presents an artist talk with Diné photographer and curator, Rapheal Begay at 6:30 on Wednesday, April 22nd.

Rapheal is a “visual storyteller” based in Tségháhoodzání (Window Rock, Arizona), who uses cultural landscape photography, Indigenous storytelling traditions, and land-based knowledge to inform his creative practice.

Rapheal will discuss his collaborative approach to creating ALL REZ: , the first traveling site-specific photography exhibition across the Navajo Nation.

This artist talk is connected to our yearlong series of programming under the “Power of Place” initiative, made possible with generous support from the Belonging Colorado initiative of The Denver Foundation and the Greater Good Science Center.

From sweet treats to savory bites, experience the world's creativity through its flavors and artist expressions. Get read to snack, explore, and be inspired!

NOTE: Open to all but younger children will need assistance with the projects. This is a drop-in event and participants may come and go as they please - no registration required. Interested teens are also welcome to come.

This program will be held in the library park, weather permitting.

Workout using your own body weight or light hand weights to work all the body parts! The free classes are always similar in style but always different moves to keep it fun and fresh. You’ll need a yoga mat & light hand weights. If you don’t have them, they are extras that can be used. Each class is around 35 min. long. Modifications are always available. It’s always a fun, upbeat, encouraging, and a great workout. Taught by Tammy Williams, certified fitness instructor. All ages and fitness levels are welcome! Follow us on the Mountaintop Movement Facebook page for more info. Note: sometimes this class may be held outside in the Library Park!

In this informal, free meetup we create awareness and harmony between the mind and body that allows us to remove stress and anxiety. We use our breath to move deeper into our body while warming, lengthening, and strengthening our muscles.

All you need is a yoga mat and a water bottle. Some yoga tools such as blocks, a blanket and a strap are encouraged.
