Join in this virtual deep listening workshop led by artist Brittney Hofer, inspired by LaMont Hamilton’s light and sound installation, To Hear the Earth Before the End of the World. The practice involves hearing, listening, and moving. Participants will focus on the element of air to explore the differences between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature of listening. The practice includes bodywork, sonic meditations, and interactive performances aimed at cultivating a heightened awareness of the sonic environment, at the same time promoting a playful atmosphere.
east window presents Contemporary Short Films Screenings: ‘Popil.’ 11:15 a.m. Thursday, March 10, The Museum of Boulder, 2205 Broadway, Suite 102B, Boulder. Free, eventbrite.com/e/249791341627
Khvay Khvay’s Popil (2018, 22 minutes) develops a complex choreography based around the symbolism of the dragon, playing to both Euro-America’s tendency to employ the motif as a blanket symbol for much of East/Southeast Asia, as well as an examination of the manner in which such iconography speaks toward a specifically Chinese or Cambodian mode of identity formation.

Boulder Book Store presents Dan Millman—‘Peaceful Heart, Warrior Spirit’ (virtual) 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 10, Tickets: $17.95-$27.95, boulderbookstore.net
Dan Millman’s books and teachings have been a guiding light to millions of people. Now comes the true story of his search for the good life, a quest for meaning in the modern world. In vivid detail, he describes his evolution from childhood dreamer to world-class athlete, including the events that led him to write Way of the Peaceful Warrior. Over the course of two decades Millman was guided by four radically different mentors: the Professor, a scientist-mystic; the Guru, a charismatic spiritual master; the Warrior-Priest, a rescuer of lost souls; and the Sage, a servant of reality. Each of them generated mind-expanding experiences that prepared Millman for his calling as a down-to-earth spiritual teacher.
Longmont Museum presents ‘Ikiru’ (1952). 7 p.m. Thursday, March 10, Stewart Auditorium, 400 Quail Road,
Longmont. Tickets: $5-$10
One of the greatest achievements by Akira Kurosawa, Ikiru shows the director at his most compassionate-affirming life through an exploration of death. Takashi Shimura beautifully portrays Kanji Watanabe, an aging bureaucrat with stomach cancer who is compelled to find meaning in his final days. Presented in a radically conceived two-part structure and shot with a perceptive, humanistic clarity of vision, Ikiru is a multifaceted look at what it means to be alive.
