Community Calendar

Long before Sheridan County became known for its ranches and thriving communities, coal mining fueled the region’s economy and gave rise to dozens of bustling coal camps. Drawing on his research and article, The Coal Camps of Sheridan County, SCLT Director of History Kevin Knapp explores the history of these forgotten communities, the miners and their families who called them home, and their lasting impact on northeastern Wyoming. SCLT Explore History is free and open to all.

SCLT Explore History is a collaboration of The Hub on Smith, Tongue River Valley Community Center, and Sheridan Community Land Trust.

A Moonbird Intel workshop on using AI to deepen client relationships 

You know the AI story already: it does everything, it's faster than you, and it's going to fix your business overnight.

What we don't hear enough about is the other, more human, side. Used well, AI can help you to be more present with the people who matter. It can take energy-draining tasks off your plate, while handling prep and follow-up in the background. It can help your client relationships become more meaningful and human. 

This Moonbird Intel workshop is about using AI to connect meaningfully with your client / customer / buyer.

What we'll cover:

How to use AI to remember what matters to each client, so your follow-ups are personalized instead of generic

How to understand your client better

The line between AI helping you show up better and AI making things feel automated or cold

Where AI can free up your time and attention to focus on the client relationship itself

You'll leave with a short, personal game plan: one or two specific places in your client relationships where you can start using AI this week, and where you should keep your hands firmly on the wheel.

Registration is free and required: https://form.jotform.com/262376722827061

Gyrokinesis® is a modality that involves a simple foundation of moving the spine in different directions whether you are lying, sitting or standing. The MELT® Method is a neurofascial technique that uses a specialized soft foam roller and small balls to bring your body back to a more ideal state by directly enhancing body awareness, rehydrating connective tissue and quieting the nervous system. In this class we are combining two modalities to allow for an overall experience of novelty and variety. Without a set goal, we’ll explore each movement with care and mindfulness, creating a safe space for conscious embodiment that allows for meaningful transformation in both action and experience.

This four-week Salsa Cubana Level 2 series is perfect for those who have completed the Intro course, any previous Salsa Cubana Level 1 course or beginner Salsa en Linea. It is also ideal for those with experience in basic salsa footwork and moves or who want to review their Cuban dance. This is now the first Cuban-specific level in our program, and I invite you to come enjoy great Salsa and Timba music while socializing, learning and moving!

We will review familiar footwork and apply it to the style of salsa known as Casino. The course focuses on essential moves that lay the foundation for your Cuban Salsa dancing, aiming to build confidence for both class and social dancing. All students with previous Salsa class experience are welcome and no partner is needed as we rotate throughout class.
