👉 Fancy a joust? 👈

Join us on an adventure in song and story as we share the Medieval tale of Yvain, one of King Arthur’s legendary knights of the Round Table.

Utopia welcomes storyteller Stephen Gashler to guide us through scenes of battle, love, and celebration. The tale will be interspersed with Medieval dances and songs brought to life by Gothic harp, vielle, recorder, and a trio of voices.

Gather round and let your imagination run wild with Yvain, his friend Lunete, his lady Laudine, and the faithful lion that never leaves his side.

Location: Cathedral Church of St. Mark

Time: Saturday @ 7:30 PM

Admission: Pay as able (suggested $20 general / $15 senior / $15 student)(Donations accepted at the door; this is a non-ticketed event)

Love Maps 🗺️

Love Maps are a concept developed by Dr. John Gottman to help couples build strong, healthy relationships. Love Maps refer to the deep knowledge you have about your partner’s inner world—like their preferences, dreams, worries, and values. Couples who maintain and expand their Love Maps are better equipped to navigate the challenges of life and maintain a close emotional connection.

Here are a few Love Map questions for your date this week. (Answer these questions on behalf of your partner. If you need to update your map, they can help you.):

  • What stresses are facing your partner in the immediate future?

  • Describe in detail your partner’s day, either today or yesterday.

  • What is your partner’s fondest dream, as yet unachieved?

  • What makes your partner feel most competent?

Back in 2019 I got to interview Drs. John and Julie Gottman — the godparents of modern couples therapy — visited Utah, and spoke to a crowd of 3,000+ people. It was a great night. Watch the recording here:
