~ Co-presented with Point Reyes Books and the Mesa Refuge ~

Join TNS Host Michael Lerner in person or via webinar for a reading and conversation with writer, educator, conservationist, and activist Terry Tempest Williams. Terry offers a reading, and then she and Michael talk about her journey navigating grief and loss, about her current life and work, and about the hope she holds for our world. Terry has been with us at The New School twice before, and you can listen to the podcast of those events on our website or on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Soundcloud, or Amazon music. tns.commonweal.org.
