Join Sierra Club Mt Baker Group for a thought-provoking discussion about the political and industrial campaign to discredit climate science and how we might try to counteract denial. The presentation will include how we can protect our environment for ourselves and for future generations.
Sierra Club member Rick Eggerth, retired attorney and environmental researcher, will examine how the settled science of climate change has moved from something that Democrats and Republicans agreed upon in 2008 to something that is now discredited as a hoax by the President and leaders of the Republican party. The presentation will also include a discussion about the Paris Accords to show that they would not have been a disaster for the U.S., as some want the public to think.
Sawyer Brown’s live shows are legendary. Described as “the Rolling Stones of country music,” the band bounds onto the stage night after night, delivering its own unique brand of enthusiastic entertainment. With over 4,500 shows, 23 albums and 50 chart singles, Sawyer Brown is a sure bet for a phenomenal musical experience. When asked about what keeps him motivated on the road, lead singer Mark Miller says, “It’s playing the next show. Be grateful for where you’ve been and be excited about where you’re going.”
The all vocal country sensation Home Free is bringing Nashville country standards and country-dipped pop hits to town (and having a great time doing so).

Home Free has become a household name, amassing more than 150-million YouTube views, and entertaining more than 250,000 people live in concert since bursting on the national scene in 2013.
Their show will bring many surprises to be sure. As Home Free prepares a new record to be released Fall 2017, audiences can expect new music and new stylings, plus country hits like Maren Morris’ “My Church,” pop slams like Shakira’s “Try Everything” and fan favorite classics like the calypso-infused arrangement of Johnny Cash’s “Ring Of Fire.”

Join renowned author, mythologist and storyteller Michael Meade for an evening of myths of renewal, tales of transformation, and a resounding call to find unity and wholeness in this time of conflict and confusion.
As the chaos in the world increases, most ideas of the future become fatalistic. Yet, the situation only seems “hopeless” when viewed from the narrow logic of a collapsing world view. Old ways of seeing the world are blocking more vital paths of imagination, vision and healing.
The point is not simply evolution or progress, rather there needs to be a collective rite of passage that transforms our world view. Transformation is required to move us from despair and overwhelm to awakening and imagination. We are either on the way to transformation or on the road to greater tragedy.
The agony of the earth calls for each of us to defeat the growing alienation and isolation of life in order to become more human and be more present. The issue is not the pretension of “saving the planet,” but rather finding deeper ways of serving the earth.
This world, despite all its troubles, remains a place of ongoing creation. Yet, creation can only work through the souls of those alive at a given time. What we learn from mythic stories and imagination is how our human nature can make us part of the ground of being and the vital pulse of the living world.
“Climate change and eco-degradation can become the context in which the core values of humanity become redeemed rather than lost.” – Michael Meade
