Let’s breathe, shall we? And take a walk in the woods – our woods within. In this guided exploration, Writer-in-Residence at the Hemingway House Heidi Kraay will invite us into our interior wilderness to meet our secret biospheres – and any animals, children, entities living there. Inside our hidden landscapes, we may stand on the precipice of the unknown, leap into the void and land amid the soundscape of our true voice. There will be breathing, stillness, resting, somatic felt-sensing, guided meditation. There may be light movement, wandering, writing, conversation. There could be a short reading. Can this journey impact our art/writing/daily lives? Let’s find out. While co-regulating, resting, immersed in felt sense travels, we may also walk into the actual green surrounding us in this intuitive, sensory adventure. Registration required. In person only. Bring a notebook. Dress for weather. Limited to 12 participants. Playwright and writer-across-disciplines Heidi Kraay examines the link between brain and body, seeking empathy with fractured characters. She collides myth, metaphor and monsters to discover connections across difference. Dramatic work has been presented in Boise, regionally, in NYC and internationally, recently through Boise Contemporary Theater, The Liberty Theatre Company, Climate Change Theatre Action and Boise State ...
An evening with Kim Frank, an award-winning writer and photographer who will discuss her new book, "Elephants in the Hourglass: A Journey of Reckoning and Hope Along the Himalaya." Delving deep into an intricate web of unlikely heroes, power struggles, and living legends, the book takes readers on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Kim blends personal narrative, vivid descriptions, and meticulous research as she illuminates the ways we seek to survive on our rapidly changing planet. It is a moving and adventure-filled tale of one woman’s quest for the truth about endangered Asian elephants and their evolving relationship with humans. Kim is a female explorer who found her life completely changed as she was drawn deeper and deeper into the plight of the remarkable Asian elephant. Once she learned about the intense, multi-faceted, but little-known conflict between humans and elephants in North India, she was unable to rest until she had learned more and told this story to the outside world. This was a place and topic totally unknown to her. After a fraught divorce, she felt a need to recapture her own voice and expand her world, and so she set out to the Himalaya with the goal of ...

Dr. David Adler, president of The Alturas Institute, renowned constitutional scholar and former Professor in the University of Idaho College of Law, will deliver a talk that explores - within a historical context - current tensions in American constitutional law prompted by recent executive orders and interpretations of the Constitution. Adler will review the implications for the rule of law from the current administration’s assertions of executive power, which raise threats to the separation of powers, checks and balances, and the enumeration of powers. Adler will also address the import of the defiance of judicial orders within the context of the duty of the judiciary, as declared by Chief Justice John Marshall, “to say what the law is.” Q & A to follow. This program will be livestreamed and available to watch later on the Library's Event Archive. Registration recommended to join us in person, and registration required to receive the Vimeo link to watch online.
The Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) is the crown jewel of Idaho’s public lands, encompassing 756,000 acres of jagged mountains, alpine lakes, and key salmon spawning grounds. The SNRA exists to preserve and protect the area’s natural, scenic, historic, pastoral and fish and wildlife values and to provide for the enhancement of the area’s recreation values. But what happens when there are not enough staff or budget for the Forest Service to capably manage this expansive and heavily visited area? This presentation will trace the story of the SNRA from its purposeful creation in 1972 through to the challenges the Area faces in the present day due to larger threats to Idaho’s public lands. We will discuss what those challenges are currently and what organizations, programs, and partnerships exist to help steward the SNRA through these turbulent times. The presentation will feature a group of speakers who are intimately familiar with the SNRA: Kathryn Grohusky is the Executive Director of the Sawtooth Society, a nonpartisan organization founded in 1997 by politicians, advocates, and local residents that shared a collective love of the Sawtooth Valley. The Sawtooth Society accomplishes its mission of preserving, protecting, and enhancing the Sawtooth National Recreation Area ...
