Dear friends & family,
Greetings from Wisconsin. I am covered in mosquito bites. Other than that, Wis. (too) is a pretty great state. En route, we stopped at Yellowstone (Polly, our art director and my niece, is a geologist by training and made this super-interesting), Devils Tower (wow) and Mt. Rushmore by night. Had a few lovely days relaxing with family. Then I spent yesterday at the Wisconsin State Capitol with lifelong best friend Kate Edwards, a Buddhist prison chaplain, who spoke eloquently before the state's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council on the horrors of solitary confinement in a kickoff of a campaign called Reform Now: A Call to Accountability in the Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections (#reformwiscdocnow). It was an eye-opening day.
Click here for the July CATALYST. (Isn't that an amazing cover?!) I think we outdid ourselves this month. Pick up a hard copy at your favorite location, too.
As to what's happening in and around SLC--my picks below. ALSO a cool Reader Reward opportunity. Have a good week!

Welcome to 2014: Part 2, the retro-free second half the year, when all the planets that drive the day-to-day mechanics of daily life-Mercury, Venus, and Mars- are in forward gear, unimpeded by a cosmic impulse to reflect on the past, as well as absolutely free to move at their own pace. If you haven't already experienced the "direct effect" on attitudes and activities, yours or others', don't worry. Some transitions take more than a moment to facilitate. But if you have noticed the change of air, you could find yoursel f relishing the change of pace, happily making plans or simply enjoying the almost hassle-free ride. And while there are a couple of planetary bumps over the course of the next several weeks, it will be fairly easy to fold those obstacles into regular routines without too much disruption. So if you haven't already, take a deep breath, and allow yourself to relax...( read more).
