Discover Arizona's surprising connection to the oceans in a talk by Dr. Ed Boyer, Chairman of Environmental Studies at Prescott College. He will link Prescott's high desert to the Gulf of California, sharing captivating stories from years of field research and teaching. Dr. Boyer will explore the Gulf's unique bioregion, drawing parallels with the Red Sea to show how understanding one ocean provides global insights.

With over 40 years leading expeditions, Dr. Boyer will also incorporate observations from his Semester at Sea experience, offering a natural history perspective on the ocean's "moods" and coastal environments. Join us to uncover how this distant body of water resonates with our local community.

For millennia, the Chumash people have been a maritime culture, renowned for their plank canoes, *tomols*, used to navigate the Channel Islands. European colonization nearly erased the craft of tomol building, but today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are dedicated to reviving this vital knowledge for future generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy's project to build two new tomols. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on tomol craft, culture, and paddling.

This interactive online Forum was hosted by the Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute.



On June 24, Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose spoke with Jonathan F.P. Rose, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan of Doughnut Economics Action Lab. In this thought-provoking discussion, they explored Doughnut Economics, which asks the question, "What is the goal of economics?" and answered it with a purpose: "Social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth or many other economic indicators that we pay too much attention to." They began with Kate describing the basic idea of Doughnut Economics, and then heard how Leonora, who leads the work with city and municipal governments at Doughnut Economic Action Lab (DEAL), is working with many cities to implement these ideas, and some of the exciting examples. Erinch then described how Doughnut Economics is being applied to businesses. This fascinating discussion was rich with ideas about how to improve the quality of life for all of life, and their application-- a wonderful example of the "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action" that underlies all of the Garrison Institute's work.
