We are pleased to welcome Mx. Auri East back to Rendezvous as a speaker on Sunday morning. Their session, "What's Truly Hard about Being Inclusive," will address allyship, inclusivity, discomfort around awareness, micro- and macro-aggressions, trans-ness, and the hard conversations.

Auri is a Sex/ual/ity Educator & Consultant from late Fall through early Spring and a multi-day River Guide the rest of the year. When not teaching or guiding, Auri is making functional pottery, tiny watercolors, block prints, and sourdough bread. They are almost always trying to be outside.

Also- welcome aboard to our newest sponsor Idaho Conservation League!
