Claudia McLaren Lainson has lectured nationally and internationally on various topics related to spiritual science, human development, the evolution of consciousness, the new astrology, and the emerging mysteries now being revealed. She is the founder of Windrose Academy, and The School for the Sophia Mysteries. She was one of the co-founders of Shining Mountain Waldorf School as well as programs dedicated to educating children. She continues to work through her teaching, personal counseling, and mentoring. Claudia served on the editorial board of The Journal for Star Wisdom, in which she made yearly contributions in her articles and commentaries. She is the author of two books: The Circle of Twelve and the Legacy of Valentin Tomberg, and The Hermit, the Minotaur, and the Shadow of Evil.
The Holy days and nights call us inward. As we journey into our heart’s center, we draw nearer to the Mother’s heart, wherein we discover the mysteries she guards. And in the heavens above, the mighty star beings proclaim their prophecies for the coming year.
This evening we will explore the profundity of this season, the necessity of reaching the manger, and the guidance being revealed by the movements of the planets against the background of the constellations.

"Inaccessible" Presented by onX

“Inaccessible” Presented by onX
When: Dec 9, 6:30pm
Where: Boulder Theater
TICKETS HERE!

Join us for the premiere of “Inaccessible,” a powerful new film that inspires, educates, and mobilizes a movement for our public lands.
In this one-of-a-kind story, ski film veteran Griffin Post joins fellow athletes Eric Jackson and Emilé Zynobia to look beyond the steepest lines and biggest peaks to find public land on an expedition into a landscape divided. “Inaccessible” reveals landlocked boundaries that partition millions of acres of public land from the public, and follows a search for something deeper than snow. A ski film that tackles an issue commonly known to hunters, this film reveals that landlocked land is bigger than any single boundary line or pursuit.
Following the screening, a live panel discussion will feature athletes from the film, Ryan “Cal” Callaghan from MeatEater, and Jim Petterson from the Trust for Public Land. The conversation will be moderated by Whitney Potter Schwartz from Outdoor Recreation Roundtable.
Explore new products and enjoy giveaways from onX and film partners, including Smartwool, Decked, and Tin Cup.
Don’t miss the kickoff event of the snow season!

Where: First Congregational Church, Boulder

REQUIEM FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM features Noam Chomsky, widely regarded as the most important intellectual alive, on the defining political reality of our time: the deliberate and destructive concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few. Through profoundly personal, accessible, and thought-provoking interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have led to a half-century of policies designed to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the vast majority Americans, and lays bare how these policies have destroyed the middle class and eroded the proper functioning of our democracy. At the same time, Chomsky reflects on his own life of dissident activism, providing invaluable historical context for our current political moment.

The Genocide of Native Hawaiians

The Genocide of Native Hawaiians
When: Dec 4, 6pm-7:30pm
Where: Virtual
REGISTER HERE!
Kalaniākea translates as Sky Father, descended from the heavens. He traces his genealogy to the origin of the Hawaiian race over 25,000 years ago. Hawaiian society developed into a highly sophisticated society over millennia and thrived in the middle of the largest ocean in the Pacific. Soon after contact, Hawaiian chiefs won recognition under international law as the Hawaiian Kingdom. The U.S. invasion on January 16, 1893, initiated a state of war that continues today. Genocidal policies have persisted through the establishment of the territory in 1900 and statehood in 1959. Kalaniākea will outline this history and its ongoing consequences, based on his PhD dissertation research. He will lift up contemporary movements to defend Native Hawaiians’ rights to land, language, culture, and sovereignty.
This event is taking the place of the previously-planned event: Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka ʻĀina I Ka Pono, the Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness, which needed to be postponed for medical reasons.
This is a virtual presentation. Please register below for the zoom link.

TICKETS HERE!
In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.
