| OLD SF Assoc Bookclub A History of Spirituality in Santa Fe | Fri Aug 16 | Book Group | Adam Johnson | A History of Spirituality in Santa Fe . Ana Pacheco 's Shaped by early volcanic activity, the Sangre De Cristo and Jemez Mountain ranges surrounding Santa Fe create a uniquely spiritual landscape. Centuries ago, the Anasazi and their Pueblo Indian descendants believed the land was sacred and established communities in the area. In the early seventeenth century, the Spanish brought Catholicism to Santa Fe and christened it the City of Holy Faith. Other European faiths arrived in the mid-nineteenth century. By the twentieth century, religions from the East, along with New Thought and New Age practitioners, had established a foothold in the capital city. Sikhism, the fifth-largest religion in the world, was introduced to the western hemisphere from Santa Fe. The nature-based UDV religion of Brazil founded its first center in the United States in Santa Fe, which also includes the four major lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. Santa Fe city historian Ana Pacheco documents the rich religious and spiritual history of this high-mountain metaphysical community. |

A NATURALIST’S INDIA
Brian Long Saturday July 20 at 5
In the winter of 2023-24 I spent four months in India searching for wildlife. My main objective was to explore the Western Ghats, the mountain range that runs along the Southwest coast of the Subcontinent, where many endemic species are found. I spent much of my time in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra, with additional time spent in the Thar desert in Rajasthan and in the inland state of Madya Pradesh. I also spent a fair amount of time on the coasts, the Arabian sea on the west coast, and the Bay of Bengal on the east coast. I photographed a wide variety of wildlife including reptiles and amphibians, birds, mammals along with fish and other aquatic animals.
