The Wisdom of Wolves: Lessons from the Sawtooth Pack with Jim and Jamie Dutcher

by

How can one put a realistic face on an animal that has been demonized and villainized for hundreds of years? Jim and Jamie Dutcher have, and they continue to do so as they travel the nation sharing their unique account of how they lived with wolves. Partnering with the National Geographic Society and speaking on their own, they have given more than 200 presentations about the Sawtooth Pack and other wolves they have come to know. After speaking to students, ranchers, wolf biologists, elk hunters, and at universities, symphony halls, country clubs and sold-out audiences around the country and beyond, Jim and Jamie will bring their adventure home to Ketchum.

The Wisdom of Wolves: Lessons from the Sawtooth Pack is a new multi-media presentation adapted from one of the Dutchers’ newest books on wolves, and enhanced with stunning photographs and clips from three of their Emmy award-winning films.

Join us for this free, public presentation from Jim and Jamie Dutcher, who began their work as wildlife filmmakers. Before wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park and Central Idaho in 1995, the Dutchers released the groundbreaking documentary film, Wolf: Return of A Legend. This film and their others that followed about the Sawtooth Pack introduced an important element of public education to the wolf recovery effort, sharing the story of wolves as they had never been seen or understood before.

Books will be available for sale and signing, courtesy of Chapter One Books.

This event will be livestreamed and archived for future viewing on our LIVESTREAM PAGE.

In 2006 Jim and Jamie created Living with Wolves, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to educational outreach and research. Living with Wolves works to build tolerance that can lead to coexistence between people and wolves sharing the same land.

CANCELLED – “The Art of Integrating Eye, Brain and Body” with Peter Grunwald

by

**This program has been cancelled — we apologize for the inconvenience. The program will be rescheduled for later in 2020.**

 

Peter Grunwald has discovered that certain areas of the brain, eyes and rest of the visual system correspond to specific areas in the human body. He has developed effective techniques to release patterns that underlie visual dysfunctions together with postural dysfunctions causing back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and breathing disorders.

In his presentation at The Community Library, Peter will describe how the principles in practice can support you in your own process of seeing. He will work practically with some of the participants and offer some tools to take away.

Peter Grunwald was myopic and astigmatic from early childhood, with his first pair of glasses at the age of 3. He began to stutter and both his posture and self-esteem slumped. In 1984 he began professional training in the Alexander Technique (Australia) to overcome his stuttering and slumped posture. He emerged from this training with a sense of postural and mental poise and increased self-esteem. In the late 1980s he studied in Germany with renowned vision teacher Janet Goodrich, PhD, and within 18 month was able to let go of his 10 1/2 dioptre-strong glasses. His discoveries of the first intrinsic associations between eyes and body followed. From his experience he developed the Eyebody learning method and wrote Eyebody – The Art of Integrating Eye, Brain and Body. A native of Germany, Peter currently resides in New Zealand where he consults, writes, and leads retreats around the world.
