Summer Arts Series 2022
Listening to the World’s Edge
Exploring the tides of climate change through music, art, and the call to adapt
$20 for the concert (July 28), including an invitation to the pre-concert panel conversation
$10 for the online panel conversation only (July 26)
During this two-part Summer Arts Series hosted by The BTS Center, we will engage the music of the Halcyon String Quartet and the artwork of Jill Pelto to surface questions — and ultimately our own embodied responses — about what it means to live an adaptable life in a climate-changed world.
Join us as we engage with art as a companion in exploring the edgy places. As a result, may our imaginations swell and our commitments buoy the future of our world.
Everyone who registers for the concert will automatically receive access to the online Pre-Concert Panel Discussion. For those who are not local, registration for the online Pre-Concert Panel Discussion only is also available.

With gratitude for all the ways you support, encourage, and enliven the work of The BTS Center, we are pleased to share with you a PDF version of our Report to the Community — our first ever publication like this, at least in recent memory, and a true labor of love. We hope you will take some time to flip through its pages, to scan its colorful images, to read its stories, and to find your place within the ever-expanding community that we are convening.

Introducing our new LEADERSHIP COMMONS
Would you believe me if I told you we were the forerunners a great spiritual renewal? What if I said this renewal would change our global culture at the end of this century? That it will see the emergence of a new mysticism in contrast to technology and a strong social conscience of sustainability and justice. We are at the very beginning of this movement. We will not all live to see its first moments of birth, but we will have the joy of knowing that we were the shoulders on which others stood to make it a reality. History will show that what we did today to lift up an open-minded spirituality, welcoming to all people, made a difference. Our choice to stand together, to advocate for justice, and to heal this planet will be recognized as the breakthrough. Because we did not give up, they excelled. Would you believe me if I told you that?
