Summer 2019
April 16: Bird Language Talk at Front Range Birding Company in Boulder. Sharpen your naturalist instincts and improve birding success by learning the language of the birds! This spring evening presentation is not about identification through vocalizations, but instead provides a brief introduction to a common language birds use to speak to each other about the landscape, predators, and even YOU! This ancient survival skill is about 'what' is being communicated - not 'who' is communicating. By learning some bird language basics, energizing our senses, and quieting our minds we can better understand the tweets, chirps, tuts and whistles of our feathered friends. Tuesday 6:30pm. Refreshments Provided.
May 9: The Ultimate Respect: 6 Elemental Questions to Ask Your Horse or Dog - Do you partner with horses or dogs, in education, therapy or recreation, in your life? If so, join us in raising the bar of human/animal cooperation through an intimate process of inquiry with animals. While people get to choose satisfying work with horses and dogs, our animal partners are often drafted into the helping role. The 6 Elemental Questions provide a simple and sophisticated way to assess an animal’s willingness and effectiveness to participate in therapeutic, educational, or recreational interactions. Together let us protect and respect our beloved partners as we provide higher quality services to our local communities. 6:00pm; Happy Dog Ranch. No RSVP required, but we ask for small donation for the horses and animals at Happy Dog, a non-profit. Also bring a snack or drink to share if you want. Contact me for questions.
