Climate Parables

AGU is teaming up with Future Earth's Anthropocene Magazine to take it's acclaimed science fiction series "The Climate Parables" from the page to the stage. The idea behind it is simple and powerful: The climate crisis is not just a crisis of technology, but also one of imagination - and part of the solution is to create more plausible, science-based visions of a future in which humanity gets its arms around some aspect of climate change.

The performance features several of our best stories set in the future, including tales by Kim Stanley Robinson, Eliot Peper, and Mark Alpert, performed by master storytellers and accompanied by stunning animations, a live string quartet, and more. 

The evening wraps up with a conversation we're calling "The Science Behind the Fiction." Renowned science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson and The Economist Editor Oliver Morton will discuss the stories, their technological feasibility, and political and economic hurdles.

Wellness Activities

Yoga

$35 | Capacity: 35

Tuesday, 12 December 2023

7:00 AM - 8 :00 AM 

As the sun rises, participants of this morning yoga session will find themselves in a peaceful and energetic atmosphere allowing them to start the day off on the right foot.

This group will be practicing a mix of hatha and vinyasa style yoga, perfect for beginning and intermediate attendees. Hatha yoga is the foundational style of yoga that focuses on physical postures and breath work, often characterized by slower-paced gentle movements but working toward improving flexibility and balance. Vinyasa yoga on the other hand offers a more dynamic and flowing style of practice. Vinyasa builds strength, flexibility and adds cardio into the session. 

Puppy Yoga

Wednesday, 13 December 2023

7:00 AM - 8 :00 AM 

Start your day with a good stretch and mindful meditation, but with puppies! During this yoga session, puppies will be leading the group in class of light stretching and breathwork. While in downward dog or child’s pose, puppies will wander throughout the space greeting guests with snuggles, curiosity and motivation to stay in the moment and focus on bettering ourselves and our community.
