Resilience; Somatic and Qigong-informed Tools to Survive and Thrive
a "playshop" with Martha Everett
resilience:
/rĭ-zĭl′yəns/
noun 1. The ability to recover quickly from illness, change, or misfortune; buoyancy. 2. The property of a material that enables it to resume its original shape or position after being bent, stretched, or compressed; elasticity. 3. The act of springing back, rebounding, or resiling.

We will also discover the myriad resources and strengths we already have in our lives. We will journal or draw, inviting more comfort and peace in our bodies, which is much needed in the world right now. Please wear loose comfortable clothes, bring your favorite pillow or stuffed animal, an altar item that brings you much joy (no live animals please!), and your curious self!

SILVER CITY, NM, September 25, 2024 – The Gila National Forest, Silver City Ranger District is preparing to implement the Redstone prescribed fire project as soon as October 1 or the week that follows. The exact date of ignition will depend on weather and fuels conditions as well as firefighter resource availability.
"Prescribed fire is an important tool for reducing hazardous fuels that threaten communities. Promoting low to moderate intensity fire on these lands today will help reduce future fire impacts," said Silver City District Ranger Elizabeth Toney. "These activities are coordinated with the State of New Mexico and comply with air quality standards set by the state's Air Quality Bureau."

Kimmi Bitter – Full Band
Retro Country Singer Songwriter
Doors: 7:00pm • $15/advance
Centered around the vein of old-school country with a touch of the swinging sixties, Kimmi Bitter and the Westside Twang are here to transport you on a retro journey into the year 1962 through their nostalgic songs. "The future of classic country is Kimmi Bitter," as Saving Country Music boldly states. Effortlessly navigating through Countrypolitan ballads in her mod wardrobe and love of white boots, Bitter has drawn strong comparisons to Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, and Nancy Sinatra.
