Ute Prayer Trees, October 21
Sunday, October 21, 2:30PM
Ever notice artistically bent pine trees around Evergreen and Conifer? Did you think it was an accident? Learn how the Ute Indians skillfully modified trees for navigational, spiritual, burial, medicinal, nutritional and educational purposes at a workshop at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21 at Congregation Beth Evergreen, 2981 Bergen Peak Drive. The workshop is free and open to the public.
Presenter is John Wesley Anderson, who wrote Ute Indian Prayer Trees of the Pikes Peak Region. The book is not just a story about culturally modified trees; it’s about the advanced culture of the Utes, the deeply spiritual, indigenous people of the Pikes Peak Region.
Anderson is an author, artist and consultant. He retired from Lockheed Martin in 2012 to launch a small consulting business to pursue his love of history, writing and the arts. Prior to working ten years in the corporate world, John served two terms as the elected sheriff for El Paso County. Although Anderson has travelled around the world, including several adventures on a catamaran sailing the Caribbean, three corporate security assignments into a combat zone on the Horn of Africa and landing on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean, he remains most fascinated with the rich history and art discovered in his own backyard in the American Southwest.

Have you ever wondered about all that talk about planets and signs and transits and retrogrades? This is your chance to get an overview of all those astrological terms and what they might mean to you.We will focus on how Kabbalah uses astrology and what this might have said about your chart.
Elisa Robyn worked as a professional astrologer and psychic in order to put herself through her PhD program. Through the years she has continued to study with many teachers and uses astrology to help guide people through tough times.
NOTE: Please send birthday, time and location to Elisa at least one day before the class if you want to look at your chart.

Join the adult education committee one Sunday each month to sample Great Courses lectures or online courses focused on Jewish Studies.
We will have eight Sunday afternoon sessions this year, snacks provided. Usually, we will experience two thirty-minute lectures with time for conversation after each one.
Here is the outline of courses you can sample this year:
- Jewish Intellectual History: 16th to 20th Century
- Beginnings of Judaism
- Biblical Wisdom Literature (for example, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs)
- The Dead Sea Scrolls
- Jesus and His Jewish Influences
Why sampler? Because each of these courses is considerably longer than two lectures, varying from 24 to 48 lectures. You can attend the one or two Sundays devoted to an introduction to the course and decide if you would like to pursue the whole course at another time. The adult education committee will facilitate whole course gatherings if enough folks want to follow through with them.
