RADICAL IDEAS. UNEXPECTED CONNECTIONS. STRONGER COMMUNITY.

APPLY TODAY TO BE A SPEAKER FOR NEXT SEASON!

At each Culture Shift event, two guests take turns each speaking on a topic that they are passionate about - an idea that challenges cultural norms or assumptions. Then, the audience takes part in a fun, interactive, and thought-provoking Q&A to find connections between the two.

Tickets are "pay-what-you-can tickets" from $5-$30, with a suggested ticket price of $20. If you have the resources to pay at this price or above, it will help to make sure that we can continue offering prices that are accessible to all.

Seniors Are Sexy | Betsy Woodin

I originally came to Alaska for a summer adventure, but it's been 49 years and I'm still here. It has been an adventure, and I have had a wide variety of jobs including cannery worker, cab dispatcher, set netter, bartender, counselor, advocate, school teacher, and foster parent trainer. Now that I've retired I volunteer at several non-profits but I also enjoy a very active social life!
