    logo_inspirationofsedonaSedona AZ (October 18, 2016) – On Thursday, October 27th, at 6:30PM, Inspiration of Sedona & Church of the Red Rocks’ Social Justice Committee will present Jeff Biggers’ An Evening at the Eco-polis: Sedona multi-media theatre performance, followed by an open public discussion.

    You’re invited to this original multi-media show blending music and stories, with American Book Award-winning author and performer, Jeff Biggers. He will be joined by French musician Vincent Z, who’ll perform classical jazz pieces as part of the show. The “Ecopolis” show (eco-polis meaning eco-city) has toured nationally, including performances in Chicago, San Francisco and many cities in the Midwest.

    20161018_inspirationUnfurling a vision of Sedona in the year 2030, Ecopolis explores the opportunities of a green economy and a transformation into a “regenerative city” based on renewable energy, local food, zero waste, reconnecting our cities to biodiversity. Ecopolis is a unique musical and storytelling experience that asks cities to consider a new urban agenda that pursues inclusionary and just urban designs, and engages energy and transportation initiatives that positively enhance rather than undermine our environment.

    Biggers is the Writer-in-Residence in Sustainability at the University of Iowa, where he founded the Climate Narrative Project. He has also written several works of memoir, investigative journalism, history and theatre, and has chronicled regenerative city efforts in Iowa and beyond for The New York Times and Huffington Post. His book, State Out of the Union: Arizona and the Final Showdown Over the American Dream, was selected as a Top Ten Social Science Book in 2012 by Publishers Weekly. His work has received the David Brower Award for Environmental Reporting. More info on Biggers can be found on his website: www.jeffbiggers.com.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
