Hosted by Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame 2010 inductee Elinor Miller Greenberg, Ed.D. Page spoke at this monthly gathering of highly educated and politically involved women and found them to be “very moved” by the stories she shared, many of which were not hers but written by authors who have contributed valuable but perhaps not as well known works, such as In Place: Stories of Landscape & Identity from the American West, written by folklorist Barbara Allen Bogart and published by High Plains Press. Luncheon host Elinor Greenberg is an educational innovator, theorist, and writer who impacts education, civil rights, and women’s rights locally, nationally, and internationally.

September 24, 2011. Page Lambert to present “Finding Your NATURAL Voice—Yes, You Are a Part of Nature!” an emersion workshop during CampExperience’s weekend retreat at Copper Mountain Resort.
CampExperience™ was created for successful women interested in building their lives, careers and connections. It provides busy women a reprieve from their everyday lives, and an opportunity to reconnect with themselves and their peers. Page’s two-hour workshop will explore our relationship with the natural world and how that influences our relationships with our bodies. “We enter this world as sensate beings,” writes Page, “as natural to nature as the wind in the trees. As babies, we sink our toes into mud and bury our hands into sand, delighted by the immersion. What happens to change this? How do we turn from wild creatures into mall queens and dilettantes? What happens when we turn away from what is wild within us? What happens to our daughters when they turn away from themselves?” Details: Finding Your Natural Voice with Page Lambert
June 8, 2010. Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, appeared at the Denver Tattered Cover to read and sign from his new book, The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder (Algonquin Books, 2011). Louv is founding chairman of the Children & Nature Network, an organization helping build the movement to connect today's children and future generations to the natural world. Louv coined the term Nature-Deficit Disorder™ which has become the defining phrase of this important issue. In this new book, Louv refers to Page Lambert (Senior Associate), as one of The New Agrarians), struggling against “those who blame small family farms and ranches for the bad conservation ethics of corporate agriculture” (see p. 272-273). Booklist’s starred review of The Nature Principle praises it for “celebrating and protecting the living world” and marking “the way to profound personal and cultural transformation."
