Over the weekend, the Military & The Arts workshop series continued with FIBER. Justin Amero set up at the Carson Cafe and offered knitting lessons to our area’s active military and veterans.
Even though PTSD treatments work, most people who have PTSD don't get the help they need. June is PTSD Awareness Month. Help us spread the word that effective PTSD treatments are available. Everyone with PTSD—whether they are Veterans or civilian survivors of sexual assault, serious accidents, natural disasters, or other traumatic events—needs to know that treatments really do work and can lead to a better quality of life.
METAL, with Travel Webb (@taosvalleyforge), featured the basics of metal smithing, with forging basic shapes to make a wall hook.
Six active military and veterans were welcomed into Travis’s workshop for the afternoon of this half-day workshop offered free to our Military community.
The launch of the microgreens farm in the walipini was a huge success! Thank you to LANL and Taos Behavioral Health, Richard Kalenka and to all who participated in the planning and execution of this project. We are excited to now be able to offer healthy, local, fresh, organic microgreens and produce to our community year-round.
It is important for communities like Taos to address housing crises through a combination of short-term and long-term solutions, including increasing the supply of affordable housing, providing financial assistance to individuals and families in need, and strengthening economic stability through job creation and economic development. Collaboration between government, non-profit organizations, and the private sector is often key to successfully addressing housing crises and helping individuals and families maintain stable, secure housing.
Homes built to maximize sustainability often double as landmarks. It can be awe-inspiring to look at the architecture that lends itself well to the landscape around it, or it can be useful to see how someone balanced conflicting sustainable practices, such as rooftop gardens, rainwater collection, or solar panels.
