City Walk | Half-Smiler Walk with Artist Helen Mirra


Helen Mirra’s (b. 1970, United States) artistic practice is contingent on the activity of walking. She proposes a series of morning walks open to everyone, cultivating the half-smile. Mirra begins the half-smiler walks by introducing the concept of equanimity as described in early Buddhist philosophy, and corresponding ideas about the everyday, somatics, and friendliness. After a brief orientation, participants will set out for a few hours, walking separately in space while together in time, and then meet again for convivial lunch. October 3–7 and 10–14, 2016.

Discussion | BREXIT and Implications for European Economic Sanctions Policy


Britain's decision to withdraw from the EU has sent shockwaves throughout the international community. It will require changes in many different areas of European and British policymaking, and its impact could linger for decades. No less important will be the increasingly important use of economic sanctions by the EU and UK in the conduct of their foreign policy. Favored by both in lieu of military force and diplomatic weight, economic sanctions have played a major role in the management and resolution of a variety of conflicts and issues around the world. How will this change in Europe in light of BREXIT? Will the UK retain its role and posture as an advocate and leader of economic sanctions? How should the United States respond? Join the Center on Global Energy Policy for a discussion with David Mortlock, Chair of Government Relations Group at Willkie Farr and Gallagher LLP, and Richard Nephew, CGEP Program Director, Economic Statecraft, Sanctions and Energy Markets, about the ramifications of Britain's withdrawal from the EU.

Workshop | Writers' Circle


Writers, is time your enemy? After all, so much of it is taken up not writing, right? There’s laundry, and dishes, and – for most of us, that all-important activity that pays the bills, the day job. So, in the midst of all this madness, how do you find the time to write? Some of us write on the fly. Others might have a semblance of a schedule. Writing, however, is quite daily. So much is lost when we can’t connect with it more immediately. In this workshop, they will begin by creating a caring community where we can talk about who we are as writers. Then, they’ll get down to work and answer that all important question: how can we develop a daily writing practice that allows us to live our lives while writing, all at the same time? NO experience with writing is necessary, just a desire and commitment to make a writing practice part of your life. Please bring a notebook and a pen (but the library will provide pen and paper in case you forget!)

Workshop | Intro Class: Introduction to Voice Dialogue - Understanding Our Inner Selves


Voice Dialogue, an experiential technique developed in the 1970s by the Drs. Stone, posits that our personality is made up of a family of internal Selves (or “sub-personalities”), and that we tend to over-identify with some Selves (e.g. our “Responsible Self” or “Protector Self”) and reject others (e.g. our “Lazy Self” or “Wild Self”). This can create imbalance, blind spots and a general feeling of stuckness. In this immersive (and fun) class, we will discover that rather than being unconsciously driven by our various Selves, blindly reacting in habitual ways, we can learn to identify and understand these components of our psyche and navigate our lives with far more choice and flexibility, radically improving our overall mental and physical health. The class will include: lecture; hands-on individual and group exercises; and facilitation demonstrations. With: Bridgit Dengel Gaspard

Performance | Cape Disappointment: A College Production


A decaying drive-in comes to life with stories of neon moonlight, naughty little girls, and an America you imagine remembering. So sit back, relax, refrain from loud talking and rough-housing, turn off your headlights, enjoy some tasty popcorn, put litter in its place, keep an eye on your children, think about how happy we could be, and remember that this country is full of dark, dark places along dark, dark roadways where dark, dark things can happen.
