All in for Autism Dino Day & Walk

🌟 Bridging Voices Together: Support Non-Speakers & Autism Awareness 🌟

We are thrilled to be raising funds and starting a team for the Autism Society of Southern Arizona, an organization that has been an incredible supporter of our work with the non-speaking community.

This year, Tucson Spellers and Inclusive Academy, two nonprofits dedicated to empowering and educating non-speakers, are coming together as Bridging Voices Together to give back. The Autism Society of Southern Arizona has been a tremendous ally in our mission, and now we want to support their efforts in providing critical resources, advocacy, and education for autistic individuals and their families.

Your donation will not only help fund life-changing programs at the Autism Society of Southern Arizona but will also show your commitment to creating a world where non-speakers are empowered through accessible communication. 100% of funds raised will go directly to essential services that uplift and support autistic individuals and their caregivers.

We’ve set a goal to raise funds over the next month, and with your help, we can make a meaningful impact. Every dollar brings us closer to a future where all voices—spoken or spelled—are heard and valued.

💙 Join our Team Bridging Voices Together and building a more inclusive world. Thank you for your support!

Sound Healing
May

Sound Healing

We’ll gather at the beautiful and serene Sanctuary Cove, a sacred space whose mission is to offer a peaceful haven for serenity, meditation, prayer, and connection with the eternal—while also protecting the stunning Sonoran Desert at the base of Safford Peak.

This time, we’ll be immersing ourselves in the gentle, restorative world of sound healing—a practice that uses vibrations and frequencies (like crystal bowls, tuning forks, and chimes) to calm the nervous system, release stress, and restore balance in the body and mind.

Our session will be lovingly guided by Elizabeth Sanchez, a sound practitioner and emotional coach, who will not only share these soothing sounds with us—but also give our spellers the chance to explore and play with the instruments themselves.

Come join us for this heart-centered, soul-nourishing morning of connection, healing, and desert beauty.

CAN WE TALK? THE SCIENCE OF COMMUNICATION 2025 COLLEGE OF SCIENCE LECTURE SERIES

"Cosmic Conversations: Communicating with the Unknown" 
If aliens were out there, how would we start a conversation? Would they understand us? Should we even try? Daniel Apai, professor of astronomy and planetary science and associate dean for research in the College of Science, and Chris Impey, distinguished professor of astronomy, will dive into the science and strategy behind interstellar messaging, exploring whether communication with extraterrestrial civilizations is possible, what we might say and how these efforts could offer insights into humanity's own future. 

Join us for this year’s University of Arizona College of Science Lecture Series, where we delve into the fascinating science behind how we connect. From decoding canine cues to the intricacies of multilingual communication and even exploring signals across the vastness of space, this series will break down the complexities of communication across species, minds, and distances.

Please note that this is not a Tucson Spellers-sponsored event, but we encourage those interested in scientific exploration to attend. The lectures will be held in a spacious venue, and there will be room to move around outside the hall if needed. Whether you're a scientist, student, or simply curious about the ways we connect, this series offers a compelling look at the science behind communication in all its forms.
