In 2013, scientists from Michigan and Wisconsin used virtual reality to discover an ancient hunting site in the Great Lakes. At the Drop 45 site, there are 9,000 year-old hunting blinds and tools, and nearby is a fireplace with charcoal and trees rooted in the bottom of Lake Huron, all preserved in 120 feet of cold freshwater. The archeologists had help from AI caribou placed in a virtual world that simulates what Lake Huron was like before the water rose to its current level. Meet the scientists, visit the virtual prehistoric world they made and see the AI caribou that roam there.

The goal of the Traverse Area Historical Society is to share local history of Traverse City and the Grand Traverse region.

This month's topic is: To be determined

A one-woman play based on the life of poet Emily Dickinson from 1830 to 1886, and set in her Amherst, Mass., home.

Bringing poetry to life, Sara Hartley performs as Emily Dickinson in William Luce’s classic play, making use of Dickinson's work, diaries, and letters to recollect her encounters with the significant people in her life – family, close friends, and acquaintances. The 75-minute monologue feels like a visit with the poet herself, and balances the agony of her seclusion with the brief bright moments when she was able to experience some joy.

Playgoers will be treated to tea or coffee along with a tasting of Emily Dickinson's Black Cake, which features predominantly in the show.

Building on the momentum of the first Land-Based Summit, we’re excited to host virtual gatherings for farmers, artists, creatives, and land stewards to connect, share projects, and seek input from the Crosshatch team and fellow community members.

This session will feature guest speaker Jennifer Flynn, EcoCorps Program Director with SEEDS Ecology & Education Centers. Jennifer is also an occasional artist and ecopsychologist, working to connect people to place through multiple threads of experience. We'll consider activities integrated at SEEDS EcoLearning Center at Historic Barns Park.

The conversation will consider installations and points of engagement for artists, land managers, government entities, and the general public on shared public lands where bodies, minds, and soils are enriched.

These sessions are an opportunity to:

- Share your land-based project

- Discuss where you are in the process

- Seek input, support, or collaboration

These free gatherings are open to all, especially those passionate about ecology, sustainability, and creative land-based projects. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Join us and keep the conversation going!
