🌲✨ Poetry in the Pines ✨🌲 What an amazing event last Saturday—hearing everyone’s beautiful poetry shared among the pines and fresh mountain air was truly incredible. 💙 Jesse has already sent the first set of prompts to kick off our 6-part workshop (two lessons a month for the next three months), and whether you joined us or not, you are welcome to participate! Please drop the email address you’d like Jesse’s lessons sent to (or email us at support@tucsonspellers.org), and we’ll also share a Google Doc where you can add your answers, reflections, and thoughts.

Description goes here✨ What an incredible journey! ✨ Our 3-part Abstract Art Experience with the amazing Matthew Palmo and Indicator Art has come to a close, leaving us in awe of the creativity and beauty that poured out of this series. Matthew guided each artist to discover and express their unique vision, and we are so grateful to the professional artists who joined our final critique—their thoughtful insights and encouragement made our spellers and artists feel truly seen and celebrated. A huge thank you as well to the Autism Society of Southern Arizona for opening their welcoming space to us, making this event possible. And to our spellers and artists: you created masterpieces that reflect some of the most beautiful minds—we could not be more proud! 🎨

Exciting news! We’ve officially launched a Tucson Spellers WhatsApp Community Chat—a space for our amazing community to stay connected, share last-minute meetups, exciting plans, or something incredible your Speller voiced today. We’ve also created a separate group under the same Community Chat just for our Tucson Spellers Hiking Club, making it easy for hikers and their support teams to coordinate plans, rides, routes, and responses all in one place. These chats are all about making it easier to connect, support, and celebrate one another, so if you’d like to be added to either or both groups, please join here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HJjxmY9nz1uLmmBjaWwQbO. Let’s keep building this beautiful, inclusive community—one message at a time.

Thanks to our incredible friends at Teva Community, Tucson Spellers had the opportunity to take on the climbing walls at Rock Solid Climbing and Fitness, and it was an unforgettable experience. Rock climbing is no easy feat, but each participant showed up with courage, determination, and a willingness to try something new. It was inspiring to watch everyone challenge their bodies, engage their minds, and push through tough moments—while supporting and cheering one another in such meaningful ways. Thank you for bringing your energy, focus, and enthusiasm, and for celebrating each other’s successes, both big and small. This event was more than just climbing—it was about connection, growth, and being inspired by the strength and spirit of our community. Huge thanks again to Teva Community for making it all possible, and to everyone who came out to climb, encourage, or simply be present. You continue to amaze us.ere

What a fun and memorable evening we had last Wednesday at the beautiful and historic Monterey Court. Tucson Spellers and their families spent the evening dancing, laughing, enjoying delicious food, and soaking up the laid-back vibes of this amazing outdoor venue. We grooved to the original folk and Americana sounds of Don Armstrong & the Whiskeypalians while catching up with old friends and making new ones. The cool breeze, the misters, the music, and the company all made for a truly wonderful night. Thanks to everyone who joined us—we were having such a good time that we barely remembered to take any pictures.
