Women in Sustainability Fall (Awkward) Networking Event (Denver, CO)
Women in Sustainability Fall (Awkward) Networking Event (Denver, CO)
September 9, 2021 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
About this event
Join WIS for this in person fall kickoff Networking Event for an opportunity to get to know other members of the Women in Sustainability Community. Come meet other community members, learn about Women in Sustainability and more!
WE ARE EMBRACING THE AWKWARD of the POST COVID WORLD
We've all been there. We get dressed up and we're so excited for a night out to meet new people. We walk in to the room with full confidence and meet that first person and BAM ...it's the dreaded networking line ... "what about that weather today" or "what do you do"?
That's right, we've ALL been in those awkward networking situations where you don't know what to say or how to act. And since we haven't networked in person in over 15 months, we ALL forgot how to be human!
So let's embrace the awkward together on September 9 for our (awkward) Networking Event! This will also be a completely no contact event - no handshakes, hugs, etc. And yes, our ED will be the one to struggle most with this rule! We want to make it comfortable for everyone. When you enter, you will randomly pick a "networking line" from a bucket and use that line throughout the event to "break the awkwardness" as you meet others. Every once in awhile, we may ask you to mix it up, but not required. We're in a weird moment in time, so let's embrace and fumble through the awkwardness together as a community to help us figure out how to connect in person again!
Help us out! What are the best most awkward /weird networking lines you've heard? Let us know and we'll add them to our list for this event! Bonus points if it's about sustainability! Share with us at becky@womeninsustainability.org.
This event is free and open to any person interested in sustainability and the environment and all are welcome to attend no matter where you are on your journey!
RSVP is not required to attend, but preferred.
Woods Boss Brewing Company, located at 2210 California St, Denver, CO 80205, encompasses sustainability and caring for the Earth at the heart of their brewery.
In addition to an array of beer options, they also offer kombucha and root beer.

Connecting the Dots: Population Growth, Women’s Health & Climate (Webinar)
Connecting the Dots: Population Growth, Women’s Health & Climate (Webinar)
September 15, 2021 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
About this event
World population is projected to reach 8 billion by 2024 and at least 10 billion by the end of this century. Human population growth and overconsumption are at the root of our most pressing environmental problems, including the wildlife extinction crisis, habitat loss and climate change. The increasing human population and its growing resource demands are severely taxing Earth’s carrying capacity. The increase in numbers, along with an expanding world economy, has profoundly altered the connection between people and their environment with alarming repercussions. Population growth and the consumption patterns of rich countries are relentless in degrading ecosystems, including fresh water resources, oceans, wetlands, forests, fisheries, biodiversity, the atmosphere, and even the climate. Unfortunately, most policy makers separate the connection between population growth, women’s reproductive health and climate change. Join this webinar on September 15 as guest speaker Deborah McFarlane, political science professor at the University of New Mexico and author of “Global Population and Reproductive Health' discusses how she connects the dots between population dynamics, reproductive health, and the environment. These connections prove the need for integrated policies and international cooperation to slow climate issues.
This event is free and open to any person interested in sustainability and the environment and all are welcome to attend no matter where you are on your journey!
About the Presenter
Dr. Deborah McFarlane is Professor of Political Science at the University of New Mexico. She edited and wrote 5 chapters in Global Population and Reproductive Health (2015). She is interested in the intersection of population, policy, environmental sustainability, and the specific role that women can play.

Women in Sustainability Volunteer Day with Metro Caring (Denver, CO)
Women in Sustainability Volunteer Day with Metro Caring (Denver, CO)
September 17, 2021 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
About this event
Volunteer with Women in Sustainability on Friday, September 17 from 12:00pm - 3:00pm! During this time, our group will be responsible for sorting incoming food, packing food boxes, and providing general warehouse support. This is a great way to help support those in need, network with other members of the WIS community and get out of the office for an afternoon to give back.
BONUS! All volunteers will be able to pack a food box from the warehouse to take home following their shift.
Volunteer spots are limited. Volunteer shift requires long periods of standing on cement ground and may be subjected to heavy lifting at times.
(Note: Please only RSVP if you live in Colorado and can attend this event in person. If you are no longer available to attend, please notify Women in Sustainability immediately to fill the spot.)
Shift Start Time: 9/17/2021 12:00 PM
Location: 1100 E 18th Ave Denver, CO 80218
PARKING INFORMATION: The best place to park is in any of the St. Joseph Hospital parking garages and then walk over to Metro Caring (about 2 blocks). Parking in the garages is free. You can also try street parking, but with all of the construction in the neighborhood, it's tough.

Every Human Deserves Resilience
Every Human Deserves Resilience
September 18, 2021 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
An art-focused workshop on how to approach intergenerational resilience.
About this event
WORKSHOP SESSIONS ARE SEPTEMBER 18TH & 19TH 10A - 2P
As part of the Every Human Empathy Campaign, Moe Gram, Denver-based artists Karma Leigh and Danielle SeeWalker, Birdseed Collective, and the Colorado Art Therapy Association are hosting a two-day art-based workshop that is focused on providing tools for intergenerational resilience in BIPOC communities. Art therapists and local artists have agreed to be partners in facilitating a meaningful and thoughtful workshop that provides skills, resources, and helpful practices for participants to sustain community resilience for future generations.
The TWO DAY workshop will include art-making, group discussions about family history, visions of resilience in future generations, and how to empower our communities to break unhealthy cycles. At the end of the workshop, participants will have completed 1 piece of artwork on canvas board with the option to share their work with their community.
GOALS
Participants in the workshop will have an opportunity to:
- Learn tools to uplift future generations
- Find greater compassion for self and family
- Empower individuals to break unhealthy family cycles
- Embracing personal voice and experiences
ART FOCUSED
Participants will be creating collage/mixed media artworks that are inspired by family narratives. Completed artworks will tell stories of how far their families have come and dream of how far their families will go.
The central questions for the work: What does intergenerational resilience look like in your family or your community? What do we start doing? Stop doing? Keep doing?
It is important for us to cultivate a safe space for participants. For that reason, COATA and psychotherapist Nicole Xenos have agreed to participate as containment providers for the duration of the workshop.
