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!

Snacks and coffee will be provided. \nFaculty and students from all disciplines are welcome. No prior background in local history is required — just an interest in civic learning\, experiential pedagogy\, and interdisciplinary teaching. \n  \nWorkshop One\, March 10: This multidisciplinary workshop introduces faculty and selected students to civics education through Danbury’s history as the “Hat City.” We will begin with a candid SWOT analysis of interdisciplinary teaching and learning at WCSU\, asking what an engaged\, experiential\, interdisciplinary curriculum could look like — particularly for first-year students — and what obstacles currently stand in the way. After establishing opportunities and challenges\, we will explore the rise of the hatting industry\, the development of labor unions\, and the role of collective action in addressing economic and political conflict. Together\, the sessions use local industrial history to examine democratic participation\, power\, and civic responsibility\, and make a case for incorporating local history and community into the first-year experience. \nWorkshop Two\, April 21: Building on the first workshop\, this session examines the environmental and social consequences of Danbury’s hatting industry and their relevance for the community today. We begin by discussing industrial pollution\, environmental degradation\, and the ways marginalized communities have challenged ecological harm and advocated for more sustainable futures. We then shift to curriculum design\, asking what a “Hatters” learning module might look like and how place-based lessons drawn from local history can be made accessible and meaningful for WCSU students. The workshop emphasizes translating historical insight and humanistic inquiry into civic learning\, conflict resolution\, and political efficacy. \nWorkshop outcomes:\n1. Articulate a clear model for place-based civic education\n2. Apply historical case studies to contemporary civic engagement\n3. Produce draft curriculum materials grounded in our local context\n4. Identify actionable strategies for interdisciplinary implementation at WCSU \nRegister to attend here \n  URL:https://www.wcsu.edu/events/calendar/civic-life-in-hat-city-place-based-approaches-to-civic-engagement-3/ LOCATION:Ruth Haas Library\, 181 White St.\, Danbury\, CT CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wcsu.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/181/2023/02/Ruth-Hass-Library.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260421T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260421T170000 DTSTAMP:20260508T121135 CREATED:20260203T235836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260223T204651Z UID:10074238-1776783600-1776790800@www.wcsu.edu SUMMARY:Mindfulness at the Library DESCRIPTION:MINDFULNESS AT THE LIBRARY: Feeling stressed this semester?
