SUMMARY:Threshold Live!
DESCRIPTION:Date: Monday\, October 27 2026\nTime: 7:00 p.m. (Doors Open at 6:30)\nLocation: ZACC (Zootown Arts Community Center)\nCost: $15 \nMNHC is excited to sponsor the upcoming THRESHOLD LIVE! this October 27th at the ZACC! \nGET YOUR TICKETS HERE!\nThreshold Live is a sonic exploration of the more-than-human world. The live show\, an immersive blend of music\, story\, and sound\, takes audiences across the planet—the Australian outback\, an Arctic lake\, the Kenyan savannah—and asks pressing questions about what happens when we tune into the life all around us. \nBased on the eponymous Peabody Award-winning podcast\, Threshold Live is the product of on-the-ground reporting by host and executive producer Amy Martin\, who set out to explore the wondrous chorus of life on Earth and learn from the scientists at the heart of a listening renaissance. Grammy-winning composer and musician Todd Sickafoose live-scores the journey alongside multi-instrumentalist Jonny Rodgers and audio engineer Sam Moore. The result is a collective acoustic journey: a chance to share the experience of listening to what other beings are saying\, and to consider what it might mean. \nLearn more about the Threshold Podcast here! \nRead the feature on Amy Martin and Threshold by Caroline Kurtz\, originally published in our Spring/Summer 2025 issue of the Montana Naturalist Magazine!

SUMMARY:Nature Writing "Hush Hour(s)"
DESCRIPTION:Date: Second Monday of the Month\nTime: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.\nLocation: Montana Natural History Center\nCost: Free\, but please register \nRegister here. \nWhatever genre you prefer — poetry\, essay\, prose\, flash\, etc. — writing can help us connect with and reflect on our natural surroundings in deeply personal\, unexpected\, rewarding ways. But finding the time to write can often be challenging. This writing “hush hour(s)” is designed to provide nature writers with a quiet\, supportive setting to work on your craft. This isn’t a workshop; this is space to write. \nIn this group\, we’ll spend roughly the first 10-20 minutes inviting individuals to share what projects you’re working on\, questions you might have about your work\, suggest resources\, any hurdles or writing blocks\, and writing successes! Then we’ll write\, write\, write. \nBring your notebook\, journal\, or computer. Writing prompts will be available if you’re feeling stuck\, or just want to play with words. Your MNHC group leaders are Allison De Jong (Montana Naturalist magazine editor and MNHC Field Notes instructor\, and writer) and Beth Conway (Events and Marketing Coordinator\, and writer). \nFeel free to BYOB and snacks/dinner. Light refreshments provided.

SUMMARY:Nature Writing "Hush Hour(s)"
DESCRIPTION:Date: Second Monday of the Month\nTime: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.\nLocation: Montana Natural History Center\nCost: Free\, but please register \nRegister here. \nWhatever genre you prefer — poetry\, essay\, prose\, flash\, etc. — writing can help us connect with and reflect on our natural surroundings in deeply personal\, unexpected\, rewarding ways. But finding the time to write can often be challenging. This writing “hush hour(s)” is designed to provide nature writers with a quiet\, supportive setting to work on your craft. This isn’t a workshop; this is space to write. \nIn this group\, we’ll spend roughly the first 10-20 minutes inviting individuals to share what projects you’re working on\, questions you might have about your work\, suggest resources\, any hurdles or writing blocks\, and writing successes! Then we’ll write\, write\, write. \nBring your notebook\, journal\, or computer. Writing prompts will be available if you’re feeling stuck\, or just want to play with words. Your MNHC group leaders are Allison De Jong (Montana Naturalist magazine editor and MNHC Field Notes instructor\, and writer) and Beth Conway (Events and Marketing Coordinator\, and writer). \nFeel free to BYOB and snacks/dinner. Light refreshments provided.
