SUMMARY:You Are Grounded!!
DESCRIPTION:YOU ARE GROUNDED!!: Join the Institute for Holistic Health Studies in Berkshire Hall on the Midtown campus from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and learn about being grounded!! (No\, you do not have to stay in your room — this is about being grounded in Mother Nature!!) Research has shown that spending time in Nature (some call it Vitamin N) has a wealth of health benefits. We know that plants give off oxygen that we need\, but other compounds released by trees\, grasses\, and shrubs have beneficial effects on our bodies\, minds\, and spirits. These chemical compounds\, called phytochemicals\, can help to reduce blood pressure\, reduce stress and anxiety and stimulate and strengthen our immune systems \nIn addition\, simply by taking off our rubber-soled shoes and standing in the grass (or standing in the sand at the beach ) we are able to absorb the ions and energy of the earth — we are grounded in Mother Nature! This earth energy helps to counteract some of the stressors of fluorescent lights and other pollutants of modern-day buildings. Some call this practice “Earthing” or “Grounding” So come and learn about grounding — and get grounded yourself!

SUMMARY:Laughter Yoga
DESCRIPTION:LAUGHTER YOGA: Who does not love to laugh? Children laugh all day long — adults not so much. Laughter Yoga was invented in the mid 1990s by Dr. Madan Kataria. Dr. Silvana Coza-Nokovic trained with him to be a laughter yoga therapist and she brings fun and laughter to us here at WestConn. Join us at noon in Room 114 of White Hall on the Midtown campus for 30 minutes of laughter and fun. Laughter improves our blood circulation\, our respiration rate\, and releases endorphins — the “feel good” hormones that counteract the stress hormones. No experience is necessary — just a desire to laugh with friends!

SUMMARY:Mojos\, Mermaids\, Medicine\, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic
DESCRIPTION:MOJOS\, MERMAIDS\, MEDICINE\, AND 400 YEARS OF BLACK WOMEN’S MAGIC: The Office of Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion is promoting this virtual event from the Danbury Library. \nFeminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewart’s book\, “The Conjuring of America: Mojos\, Mermaids\, Medicine\, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic\,” tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women\, in secrecy and subterfuge\, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. \nConjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary — from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix\, to the original magic of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” (2023)\, and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean. \nFrom the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores\, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now\, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history\, sourcing letters from the enslaved\, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used\, their herbs\, food\, textiles\, song\, and dance\, used to sow rebellion\, freedom\, and hope. \nJoin us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of America’s founding Black women. Register for free today at https://libraryc.org/danburylibrary/107155/register \nAbout the Author: Lindsey Stewart is a Black feminist philosopher and an Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Memphis. She is the author of The Politics of Black Joy. Her work has been featured in Blavity\, Signs\, Hypatia\, and the British Journal for the History of Philosophy\, and she holds a 2021 Michael Beaney Prize. She lives in Memphis\, Tennessee.
