FREE, MEMBERS-ONLY EVENT. Please present your membership card at check-in; members may use their free passes to bring non-member guests.

Join us for a pre-Valentines Free Member Event rooted in place and passion: an intimate reading featuring excerpts from some of literature’s most evocative xeric landscape writing. From the fierce clarity of Edward Abbey to the lush desert imagery of Barbara Kingsolver and the reverent wonder of John Muir, we’ll explore the wild beauty that has inspired generations of writers and wanderers. Raise a complimentary beverage, connect with fellow members, and share an evening devoted to the Southwest landscapes we love—stark, stunning, sunlit, and alive. A perfect way to welcome the season with depth, warmth, and community.
