May 11 Monday
The Durango Public Library will host a Climate Support Group on the 2nd Monday of each month at 4:30PM. The public is invited to share thoughts and feelings about the climate crisis in community.
Climate Support Groups are not action oriented, Rather, they're an opportunity to build an ecosystem of community, to cultivate resilience, and to continue to meet the unknown future from a place of connection - to self, community, and earth. All are welcome.
Hannah Smith holds a Masters in Social Work as well as an Advanced Certificate in Ecotherapy. She is a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance and is passionate about turning towards the ecology crisis from a place of embodied connection with the more-than-human world.

May 12 Tuesday
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.
