Featured Events in Albuquerque in April 2025 (April Updated)

Welcome to the local Premiere of "Counted Out" hosted by Teach Plus New Mexico in partnership with UNM College of Education and Human Sciences! Join us for a special screening of “Counted Out,” a new hard-hitting documentary that shines a light on math as the foundation of democracy and economic opportunity. Stick around for a group panel with Lauren Scott, Michael Mack, Andrea Lopez after the show! Watch the trailer here: Counted Out Film Trailer More about “Counted Out” “Counted Out” investigates the biggest crises of our time. Political polarization. Racial biases. Social injustice. Economic inequity. Climate change. And a global pandemic. All viewed through a previously unseen lens: math. In our current information economy, math is everywhere.The people we date, the news we see, the influence of our votes, the candidates who win elections, the education we can access, the jobs we get is all underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice. But whether we know it or not, our numeric literacy — whether we can speak the language of math — is a critical determinant of social and economic power. Through a mosaic of personal stories, expert interviews, and scenes of math transformation in action, “Counted Out” shows what’s at risk if we keep the status quo. Do we want an America in which most of us don’t consider ourselves “math people?” Where math proficiency goes down as students grow up? Or do we want a country where everyone can understand the math that undergirds our society — and can help shape it? The film’s voices include the late civil rights icon Robert Moses as well as Talithia Williams, associate professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd University and TEDx speaker of “ Own Your Body’s Data ,” Julia Angwin, investigative journalist and founder of Proof , Steven Levitt, co-author of “Freakonomics.” Information Source: Counted Out Film | eventbrite

Email all registration and other questions to zarhortonkbx@gmail.com. Registration Cancellation by Participant: Registration fees are non-refundable. No refunds will be granted . Registrants may transfer their registration to another person for no fee. Read below and choose the right workshop for you or register for both and join us for the weekend! Kettlebell 101: Simple & Sinister™ Accept no compromises. Between power and conditioning. Between strength and flexibility. Between being an athlete and looking like one. Enter the kettlebell—the only training tool able to deliver all aspects of extreme fitness with no compromises. No-one knows how to wield this tool better than StrongFirst, the kettlebell ground zero. Taking the Kettlebell 101 workshop is like walking into the pages of Pavel’s ground-breaking book Kettlebell Simple & Sinister. You will learn the kettlebell exercises that deliver great gains while having the steepest learning curve: The Swing—build a back of steel, sprinter’s glutes, fighter’s conditioning, and a blue-collar grip The Get-up—forge resilient shoulders and bullet-proof abs The Goblet Squat—develop a killer blend of strength and flexibility Kettlebell safety and other boring stuff that pros swear by and amateurs ignore at their own risk Insider strategies for long term sustainable training to reach your goals Pavel’s “Alt-S&S” programming—totally in line with the book, yet with unique wrinkles The day after the workshop you will be able to hit the ground running towards your goals. Kettlebell 201: The Rite of Passage Suggested Prerequisites -To attend this workshop, you need to be competent in swings, get-ups, and goblet squats. Ignore at your peril. -Learn these skills from a Kettlebell 101 workshop , a StrongFirst accredited gym , or a StrongFirst certified SFG instructor . Once you have reached the impressive yet realistic “Timeless Simple” standard, you have choices to make. Stay on a monastic diet of swings and get-ups, slowly chipping away at “Sinister.” Or try something “same but different”: the snatch plus the clean and military press, the classic Rite of Passage. The Snatch is “the Tsar of the kettlebell lifts.” Thanks to more muscles working and twice the distance travelled, it accomplishes even more than the esteemed swing. Achieve total body explosive power, ruthless conditioning, and a vice like grip. Burn fat like never before. All with a lighter kettlebell—save space in your home, car trunk, or deployment kit. Once we have taught you the skills with our usual attention to detail, we will send you off to succeed with a Strong Endurance™ snatch plan. The one-arm Clean-and-Press will rival any other pressing exercise when it comes to shoulder strength and muscular development. It is untouchable when it comes to shoulder health, thanks to its ergonomic perfection. The military press comes equipped with the “Rite of Passage” type programming—possibly the most reliable progression ever. Three versions of the ROP—“Jurassic,” “907 Hypertrophy,” and “Heavy”—will keep you gaining for a long time. Kettlebell 201 ROP sets high goals—and gives you the skills and the roadmap to reach them. Sign up and power to you! Registration Cancellation by Participant: Registration fees are non-refundable. No refunds will be granted. Exceptional circumstances will be reviewed and determined on a case-by-case basis by Zar Horton. Registrants may transfer their registration to another person for no fee. Please email zarhortonkbx@gmail.com directly to complete this action.

Join us on April 12th for a live performance featuring three historical figures of great importance brought together as a panel. With a moderator to guide the discussion, they'll answer questions and engage in dialog with one another. The theme is Conservation Philosophy and Ethics. Our Visionary Voices included Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, John Muir and Aldo Leopold, three individuals who profoundly shaped the conservation movement in the United States and beyond. Please join us as these historical characters share their stories and bring to life the times in which they lived. Speakers Adam Lindquist as Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt Adam Lindquist regularly appears as Roosevelt for the National Park Service, United States Navy, Army Corp of Engineers, The National Fish and Wildlife Service and many State recreation agencies and national associations. Doug Hulmes as John Muir Doug Hulmes performed John Muir for several years under a contract with the Arizona Humanities Council on a scholar speaker’s bureau. He is a Professor Emeritus of Environmental Studies at Prescott College. Doug received an award for outstanding presenter at the National Wilderness Rangers Conference in Durango, Colorado, for his performance of John Muir. In September 2004, Doug was invited to perform in Washington D. C. for the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Wilderness Act. In 2009, Doug performed for the opening of an International Conference on Friluftsliv at Nord Trøndelag University in Norway. He is presently researching the traditions, mythology and folklore of planting sacred trees on farms in Norway and Sweden. You can google his paper, Sacred Trees of Norway and Sweden if you are interested in his research on the folklore and traditions related to trees in Scandinavia. Steve Morgan as Aldo Leopold Steve Morgan is a naturalist, educator and a retired landscape architect who focused on retaining and recreating natural habitat. The wilds of the Southwest have been his home for over 50 years. He currently resides with his wife Nichole and four canine companions in Kingston, New Mexico, three miles away from the Aldo Leopold Wilderness.  Given his first copy of Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac when he was only 9 years old, Steve grew up finding nature to explore even in his birthplace of the Los Angeles area. After moving to a rural western Arkansas town when he was 10, his love of the natural world  blossomed.  When a dear friend suggested he start performing Chautauquas or Living Histories as Aldo Leopold, he naively said okay. After over 20 years of studying Leopold and giving more than 75 performances, he joins us for Visionary Voices. Discussion moderated by Heather Provencio Heather Provencio recently retired after nearly four decades with the U.S. Forest Service. Most of her career was spent in Northern Arizona, where she began as a wildland firefighter. She later worked in various resource areas, including recreation, business, archaeology, and tribal relations. Heather earned her Bachelor's and Master of Arts degrees in Anthropology from Northern Arizona University, graduating in 1984 and 1999, respectively. She and her husband reside in Silver City, New Mexico, where they enjoy hiking, photographing, and birdwatching in the Gila National Forest. Information Source: Bethany Tabor | eventbrite
