Healing Breathwork & Soundbath with Gisela Mondays

Hosted by Tina Hewitt and Shaun Elligott, this collaborative presentation explores symbolism, compassion, and sacred lineage through the teachings associated with Melchizedek and Quan Yin.

It considers Melchizedek as a sign of an ancient and enduring priesthood that invites reconciliation with nature, with Source, and with the divine whole. The Quan Yin portion turns to the widely honored embodiment of compassion, exploring her as a living symbol of mercy and responsiveness to suffering, along with her historical connection to the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.

The Silken Thread: Five Insects & Their Impacts on Human History

At The Kiggins Theatre, Dr. Rob Wiedenmann examines the roles five insects have played in shaping human history. Drawing from his book coauthored with J. Ray Fisher, The Silken Thread: Five Insects and Their Impacts on Human History, he traces how silkworms supported millennia of silk production and a Silk Road that fostered empires and exchanges of ideas, philosophies, and religions. He explains how fleas and lice transmitted bacteria behind three major plague pandemics, with evidence preserved as DNA in victims’ teeth. He describes typhus spread by lice in crowded settings such as prisons and concentration camps, how it worsened the Irish potato famine, and how Irish refugees brought the disease to North America. He also explores mosquito-borne yellow fever, carried to the Americas through the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which provoked fear in the United States and created hazards during construction of the Panama Canal. A discounted book and ticket combination is available at checkout, offering 15 percent off both.
