Cultural Events Calendar

Join Aspen local Megan DiSabatino for a restorative sound journey and magical evening forest bathing in nature at Toklat. Slow down and reconnect as we deeply relax and breathe, bathing in the healing sound frequency of the natural world and singing crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, gongs and drums, and soak up the beauty and wonder of the meadows and forests around Toklat. We’ll engage all of our senses as we explore the trees, wildflowers, meadow grasses and icy waters of Devaney Creek.

years, she’s been deeply involved with two non-governmental organizations. One is dedicated to supporting indigenous and rural communities in their role as guardians of their natural resources. The second trains young people affected by poverty and gang violence in a vocational media arts program (photography, video, illustration, computer skills, marketing, publicity) that provides them with skills that open the door to life-changing opportunities. Using still photos and video clips, she will share her journey over the years, starting with their devastating civil war in the 1980s, and exploring its aftermath.

Adventurer and storyteller Tara Roberts will discuss her searing memoir, “Written in the Waters,” which recounts her epic journey to trace the global slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean. Roberts, a National Geographic Explorer in Residence, spent years diving with and telling stories about a group of Black scuba divers searching for slave shipwrecks around the world. For fans of Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild” and Jesmyn Ward’s “Men We Reaped,” Roberts’ memoir is a powerful blend of personal and cultural history.

AMFS alumni Stefan Jackiw violin, Jay Campbell cello, and Conrad Tao piano, present an inventive program connecting centuries of imagination. Hear Cage’s ethereal Six Melodies, Beethoven’s beloved “Ghost” Trio with John Zorn’s Ghosts nestled within it, and Schubert’s profound Trio in B-flat major. A winter evening of artistry, curiosity, and connection.

In this discussion, Dr. Brett Walker will review results from more than a decade of Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s research on sagebrush-obligate birds in western Colorado. His projects reveal some new and unexpected patterns of habitat use and selection among Greater Sage-Grouse and Brewer’s Sparrows. These discoveries have also led to new recommendations for habitat treatments to offset Greater Sage-Grouse habitat loss from energy development, and expanded our understanding of how Greater Sage-Grouse populations fluctuate, and how individuals move in relation to leks during the breeding season.

Presentations are Wednesdays at 6 pm at the Third Street Center in Carbondale, CO, and Thursdays at 6pm at Hallam Lake, in Aspen, CO. Please register.
