Renewal Poster Telluride is not just any resort and its local institutions are equally unique and unconventional.

For example, our five-star Wilkinson Public Library is not your mother's book repository. The Telluride Historical Museum is no dusty storehouse of treasures from someone's attic. Even one of our houses of worship, Christ Presbyterian Church, is fast becoming much more than a place for contemplation and prayer. Under the director of Reverend Pat Bailey, a scholar of world religion, Christ Church is fast becoming a change agent within our community, with a brand new focus on the current environmental crisis.

On Wednesday, January 19, at noon, Christ Presbyterian Church launches a five-week program to view and discuss the documentary "Renewal" and how to put its message of sustainability into action. The documentary describes the responses of eight different religious communities – Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, and interfaith – to the global issue of climate change and its effects.

 She all but shouted it from the rooftops of town.

When Telluride local Baerbel Hacke turned 60, there was an all-Caps urgency to the event and a no-holds-barred party to go with it.

Baerbel took (at least) a week off work – she is the director of the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art – so that the birthday girl could celebrate in high style with a little help from her friends, some of whom came all the way over from Germany. (Baerbel was born in Leipzig, but found her winding way to Telluride in the 1980s.)

BALI 719 James Vilona's chair, a lyrical bronze spiral, is the first thing guests to our Telluride home see, and it is, hands down, our favorite piece of functional art.

Mies van der Rohe’s “Barcelona Chair,” designed in 1929 for the World Exposition in Spain and Le Corbusier’s “Chaise,” created at about the same time, are considered 20th century classics. Charles and Ray Eames’ “Chaise Longue," was a prototype submitted for a competition held in 1948 at New York City’s The Museum of Modern Art. Elegantly asymmetrical, the Longue was meant to be inexpensive, lightweight, versatile and appealing to young families. Made of dyed cotton cords and steel, Brazilians Fernando and Humberto Campanas’ Vermelha Chair, 1993, looks like a kitchen mop or a bird’s nest on steel legs.

The Inner Wisdom and Practical App of the Capricorn Full Moon

Capricorn As we reach the mid-point of January and the last week of Capricorn, holiday magic and mayhem flickers and fades. The last Christmas decorations are taken down and put in boxes, packed away for another year. Winter solstice has come and gone, the days have grown slightly longer and poco a poco - little by little - we inch our way toward spring.

This is a time of resurrection and redemption, even as we face the daily chores and realities of our finite, 3D lives. Waning Capricorn prepares us for the inspirational, vital charge of Aquarius – new ideas, new hopes and dreams – and requires a practical, realistic assessment of where and who we are, what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. Physical and material worlds must be addressed - our bodies, our finances - our actual physical health and material security.
