Stories of Our Ancesters

Stories of Our Ancesters

This event has been cancelled.

Discovering the Lives That Became Our Own

Some inheritances aren’t found in wills. They’re found in stories.

Every faded photograph or name in a family Bible belongs to someone who loved, laughed, persevered, and helped to shape the story that eventually became your own.

This 3-hour highly interactive workshop will bring these ancestral stories to life through storytelling, expressive visual art, improvisation and Personal Imaginal Journeywork. You’ll become an Ancestral Archeologist as you dig through the layers of stories and memories of your parents, and progress through generational layers of history and mystery. You’ll leave with grounded, creative tools for continuing your own ancestral investigations.

Internationally known Author, Psychologist, Historian and Educator Dr. Karel James Bouse will be leading this interactive Workshop.

$40 (Materials Included) - 25% of registration fees are donated to Friends of the Library

How Much is that Cure in the Window

Have you ever wondered how to tackle seemingly impossible questions using just a bit of logic and back-of-the-envelope math? Join local author Dr. Shaun Comfort creator of How Much Is That Cure In the Window?— for an interactive journey into the fascinating world of "Fermi problems." In this engaging session, we will demystify the art of estimation by breaking down three distinct real-world Bio-Healthcare puzzles: calculating the total breaths in a human lifetime, estimating the G-force of a football tackle, and unpacking the likely cost of Universal Health Care. Whether you are a retired engineer or simply a curious thinker, you'll leave with a powerful mental toolkit for estimating the world around you.

Presented by Shaun Comfort MD, MBA

Shaun Comfort is a Neurologist with over 20 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry and a prior career in Aerospace Engineering Physics. In his work, Dr. Comfort applies AI using Large Language Models and decision analysis techniques to problems in pharmacovigilance. He published his first book in 2020 on mathematical estimation in healthcare: How Much Is that Cure in the Window? Simple Math Solutions for Complicated Problems in Biology, Medicine, and Healthcare. In his free time, he enjoys using Bayesian methods to evaluate puzzles such as retracing historic trails across the southwest and has a particular interest in the 35th Parallel routes established by Marcy, Whipple, and Beale.

Barking, Lunging, and Pulling: Turning Stressful Walks Into Successful Ones

Does your dog pull, bark, and/or lunge on walks? If you answered “YES!” then you’re not alone. These behaviors are among the most common issues my clients come to me for help with. In this presentation, Beck will break down the common reasons dogs struggle on leash, how to recognize early signs of reactivity, how to prevent it, and how to have more peaceful walks with your dog. She will cover management ideas, why enrichment matters, and training skills that help dogs stay connected with you so that walks can feel safer and be more enjoyable for everyone.

Sorry - Rover needs to stay home!
