Dear Friends & Family,
Hi friends and family,
 My sister Bonnie visited from Wisconsin this past week. She had a few warm days, and then got to enjoy Salt Lake all muffled in white. I don't know about you but the shift has put me in a serious mood for cooking and and novel-reading. And the perennial idle thought that maybe THIS will be the year I learn to snowboard.
Find your November CATALYST online in both HTML and Flip-Through format, or at newsstands around the valley. It's beautiful, and fun, and thought-provoking. I hope you like it. |
See our event picks below for the week ahead (you'll find many more on our website calendar).

Thank you! ~Greta |

The words "relaxation" and "holidays" rarely
appear together. Restorative Yoga is a conscious relaxation practice that helps us align with the season. Lying in supported yoga poses for long periods of time--five minutes or more--our bodies are allowed to open gradually and naturally, and our minds can sink deeply into a meditative rest. Think of this as nap time for grownups.

The Aquarium Age: Nov. 14-20
 --by Ralfee Finn
This is my astrological true confession: I love Mercury Retrograde. I know my adoration goes against the tide of all the things that go wrong during a retrograde phase--I've heard the war stories and experienced the problems. But I don't care. I love the attention that a retrograde requires, the awareness, the precision, and, of course, the opportunity to blame all communication and travel problems on the stars. (I was thrilled not to pin Election Day snafus on Mercury, because that would have sullied my secret love.) Yes--a Mercury retrospective requires patience, but it also provides plenty of opportunities to take a deep breath as you reassess what's been put in motion...(read more)

Don't Let Wind Energy Jobs Disappear
The growing wind industry supports 75,000 American jobs. Blades and turbines are manufactured right here in the U.S., new wind facilities are installed and maintained, and clean, efficient energy is reducing our dependence on the dirty energy technology of the 19th century. But if Congress doesn't renew the Production Tax Credit before the end of the year, all that is in jeopardy.
Write to your representative in Congress and urge them to renew the Production Tax Credit to protect American jobs and ensure a clean energy future. Sierra Club sponsored petition.

The face of Downtown Salt Lake City has changed dramatically in the past several years. Each person and every place has a story to tell. What's yours?
Videos must be comprised of original work and must be created specifically for this project. Must be a unique explanation and interpretation of the phrase "I AM DOWNTOWN." Must be filmed primarily in the Central Business District (North Temple to 400 S and 600 W to 200 E).
Upload a video via facebook.com/downtownslc by Dec. 10.
