| Giving a Voice to the Unhoused | Sat Dec 13 | SPECIAL | Jean Palmer | Join us for a panel discussion with people sharing stories of their lives unhoused and housed in Santa Fe. Learn more about the issue of being homeless and what you can do to help. After a presentation by a panel of people with the lived experience of being homeless, audience members shared their biggest take aways. Some of the comments: “These were just a few of the many “stories” of people who are unhoused. The authenticity of each story touched my heart.” “Great! Thank you. Awesome presentation! Thank you! Lived experience is so important – it humanizes the issue”. “The presentations reinforced the humanity of people who are or were unhoused. So powerful to hear their stories”. “Homeless populations are not monolithic. Every story is different and we need to stay open and empathetic. |
| Sailing & Painting the Pacific Ocean for 9 Years | Sat Dec 20 | Slide Show | Roxy Podlogar | Roxy and her husband, Carl Podlogar, sold all their possessions and began living aboard their ocean-going catamaran, Sky Pond, in February 2016. They embarked on a circumnavigation of the Pacific Ocean from Vietnam, sailing in the "wrong direction " against the prevailing currents and wind to northern British Columbia, then south to Mexico, and finally returning to Australia in December 2024. This story highlights Roxy 's journey as she pursued her dream of becoming a watercolor artist while also striving to acquire a high level of seamanship quickly. It includes photos of their sailing adventure, paintings created in iconic locations, and short stories corresponding to their sailing route and the specific anchorages where she painted her landscapes. |

Hiking in the Rio Grande del Norte - A Half-Century Story of Exploration
with Delafield DuBois and the Sierra Club
Saturday September 27, 2025 at 5pm
The Rio Grande is the big feature of the Taos Plateau. There are also many Volcanoes and an adjacent wilderness area with a inadequately- appreciated Rio San Antonio. There 's paved road access to many hiking and camping opportunities. There are also classic NM dirt roads, old trails, new trails, and off-trail opportunities for exploration and hiking. The following day (Sunday September 28) there will be a hike to Cerro de la Olla (Pot Mountain) on the west side of the Monument. It 's a 2 1/2 hour drive from Santa Fe, 5 mile round trip to the summit, with 1,340 feet of elevation gain. Given the last hour of access is dirt road, if it is too muddy, the hike will occur on the following Saturday October 4. Alan Shapiro will be joined by Del and John Buchser to lead that expedition. Given the long driving time, it will be a long day.
