Travel from the Himalayas to The Great Trango Towers in an unforgettable evening of high-altitude storytelling—featuring two films that celebrate the spirit of exploration, resilience, and the raw beauty of the vertical world. Together, these films showcase two expressions of mountain adventure, both driven by the same passion for the unknown.

When recycling plastic in Carbondale, stick to bottles, tubs, jars, and jugs. No clamshells, plastic bags, coffee cups, or takeout containers. If it's not a bottle, tub, jar, or jug, toss it in the trash. These items can't be sorted and there is no end-user market for them.

Recyclables in Carbondale shouldn't be bagged. Just place them loose in a bin. If your recyclables are in grocery or garbage bags, they're likely being thrown in the landfill instead. Bagging your recyclables may even cause entire loads to be rejected. This is because bags cause jams in the sorting machines which can slow down lines and cause costly damage. Other items that aren't recyclable are bubble wrap, food wraps, and garden hoses.

On Sunday, November 16, TRUU Community Steward Paul Dankers will reflect on how moments of loss, from the everyday to the profound, can become invitations to gratitude. Drawing from a deeply personal story of his first psilocybin experience and the surprising lessons found in both ordinary objects and popular culture, Paul explores how practicing gratitude in life’s small endings helps prepare us for larger farewells. Together, we’ll consider how grief and gratitude are woven inseparably, and how opening ourselves to both can transform the way we live — and the way we face life’s final chapters. Please note: this reflection includes discussion of psychedelics and may not be suitable for young children. As always, we offer engaging, age-appropriate programming for children in a separate space.
