Be sure to jump start your new year with us as we chat virtually with journalist and author Julia Hotz about her book The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging.  

The Connection Cure combines diligent science reporting, moving patient success stories, and surprising self-discovery to help us discover the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing. Traditionally, when we get sick, health care professionals ask, “What’s the matter with you?” But around the world, teams of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers have started to flip the script, asking “What matters to you?” 

Science shows that social prescribing is effective for treating symptoms of the modern world’s most common ailments—depression, ADHD, addiction, trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, dementia, diabetes, and loneliness. By integrating age-old medicines like art, nature, movement, and volunteer service into patient’s daily lives, social prescriptions are radically changing health and healthcare in more than thirty countries. Julia Hotz travels around the world to survey them —sea-swimming lessons for depression, “culture vitamins” for anxiety,  a fishing club for ADHD, a farm-based day-care for dementia, a phone-buddy program for social isolation, and many more.

As the first book on social prescribing, The Connection Cure empowers you to find, experience, and implement this revolutionary medicine in your own community. The success stories Julia finds bring a long-known theory to life: if we can change our environment, we can change our health. By reconnecting to what matters to us, we can all start to feel better.

Register today to find out how you can use the wisdom of social prescribing to live your best life!

Why ChatGPT Alone Is Quietly Holding Your Business Back
A Lunch & Learn for Business Leaders

Many businesses are using AI tools like ChatGPT to speed up tasks, but few are seeing meaningful impact on how their business actually runs.

This interactive Lunch & Learn is designed for business owners, executives, and team leaders who want to move beyond AI experiments and understand how AI can support better decisions, smoother operations, and stronger execution.

You will explore:

• Why AI tools used in isolation often create more effort instead of momentum

• The difference between AI for tasks and AI for leadership and execution

• How forward-thinking businesses connect AI to real workflows and decision-making
   

This is a non-technical, practical conversation focused on leadership, operations, and real-world application. Lunch is provided, along with time for discussion and networking.

When the pilgrims first landed in America, the only apple trees on the continent were crab apples. After 250 years of planting millions of cider tree seeds, over 15,000 named apple trees existed in North America. Today, there are less than 5,000 named apples readily found. The Lost Apple Project searches for lost apples and is making exciting finds right here in the Palouse. Dave Benscoter and/or Bret Clifton talk about the steps they are taking to bring these apples back to life.

Join us for an unforgettable experience as we chat online with Vanessa Riley about her newest book, Fire Sword and Sea, based on the folk story of the female pirate Jacquotte Delahaye.

The Caribbean Sea, 1675. Jacquotte Delahaye is the mixed-race daughter of a wealthy tavern owner on the island of Tortuga. Instead of marriage, Jacquotte dreams of joining the seafarers and smugglers whose tall-masted ships cluster in the turquoise waters around Tortuga. In Haiti she becomes Jacques, a dockworker, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender.

Jacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring, which is full of outsiders and misfits. As Jacques, Jacquotte falls in love with Lizzôa d'Erville, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex. While others see their work clothes as a disguise, Lizzôa’s true self is as a woman.

For the next twenty years, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches. Risking her life in one deadly skirmish after another, she instead begins to plot a war of liberation.

Don’t miss out on this exciting discussion! Register now to embark on a seafaring journey of self discovery and reclamation of personal power.
