June 16, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “Mastery Mindset”
Cari Lemon will explain how to understand the patterns that create our current life results and will detail the first steps we can take to create the results we would love to have in our lives.
“We experience feelings of longing when we’re desiring something we haven’t yet created. And we feel the feeling of discontent when current circumstances are something we don’t prefer. Both of these –longing and discontent – are catalysts for growth within us,” Lemon said.
“So, whether it’s the pain of a problem or a burning desire for something new – these two energies are essential for creating new results in our lives,” She added.

We use a story-based approach to engage and educate kids, with the goal of helping them lead happier and more successful lives.” Spurgeon, and fellow instructor Hallie Harris combined forces to create a week of Mindset, SEL (Social Emotional Learning), and Drama classes.

Lara Dulcinea, PhD, of New Mexico State University, will discuss the importance of ethnic studies and oral histories in shaping New Mexico's educational curricula as part of the Silver City Museum's ongoing educational programming.The Silver City Museum's next community conversation, titled "Ethnic Studies, Oral History, and a New Way of Learning in New Mexico" features Dulcinea Lara, PhD, who will discuss the importance of ethnic studies in the shaping of education in New Mexico. This educational event is free of charge, and takes place Wednesday from noon to 1 pm at Harlan Hall, Room 219, on the campus of Western New Mexico University. All community conversations are held in partnership with WILL (The Western Institute for Lifelong Learning.)
Dr. Lara will discuss the importance of ethnic studies and oral histories in New Mexico's educational system, especially in this time of heightened political and social polarization. The state's new social studies standards for K-12 curricula now require the inclusion of ethnic and cultural identities for all students. Dr. Lara's work supports these new standards through the telling of oral histories and previously omitted narratives, which help create a more complete picture of what it means to be a New Mexican. Her discussion will feature activist-educator Elisa Sanchez's story about being a young child during the Empire Zinc Mining Strike of the 1950s, the true story that the quintessential film, Salt of the Earth (1953), is based on.
