Santa Fe Event: Life is a Trip: An Evening with Award-winning International Travel & Culture Journalist Judith Fein
Tuesday, April 6, 2021, 5:30‑7pm MDTLocation: Online Event via Zoom
All Attendees: FREE
Experience the transformative power of developing a traveler’s mindset. It’s not about where you go but, rather, how you go. It can happen without leaving your hometown, or when you travel to exotic climes. When you develop a traveler’s mindset, you begin to see the events in your life, all of them, as an adventure. It lifts you out of the “ordinary” and into the excitement of experiencing the meaning and magic of your life. It also involves a different, deeper way to relate to people: you begin to see them as part of the adventure, and to listen and pay attention in a new and different way. Please read Judith Fein’s book LIFE IS A TRIP: The Transformative Magic of Travel before the event.
Judith Fein has contributed to 110 international publications, given a TEDx talk on Deep Travel, authored three experiential travel books, blogs for PsychologyToday.com about transformative travel, and is a highly sought-after media guest as a travel expert. Her website is: https://www.GlobalAdventure.us.

Curator of Political History at the National Museum of American History (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC), Jon Grinspan studies how politics and popular culture grew up together in America.
In the 1800s, American political campaigns blended government and entertainment, youth culture and saloon culture, crime and comedy and so much more. The result was a mixing of the personal and the political, creating a bold experiment in self-government and thrilling human stories. Grinspan will discuss his work as a historian of American democracy as well as his new book, The Age of Acrimony: How Americans Fought to Fix Their Democracy, 1865 – 1915, where he takes us from the chaos of post-Civil War America to the progressive era, showing parallels to today.
