Conversations on Loss & Resilience - Three Online Sessions

Wednesday, October 27, 2021, 4:30‑6:30pm EDT
Location: Online
Restricted to members only
This event is SOLD OUT!
Members: FREE
Wait, wait, we know what you’re thinking! You’ve had enough! No more doom and gloom. We get it!
 
That’s why we are focusing these conversations on how loss shapes our experience, and how it teaches us what matters, how can we turn wounds into wisdom and pain into purpose. Instead of sadness, we are aiming for joy. 
 
In this three-part conversation series, we’ll look at all kinds of losses, especially those that often go unacknowledged like relationships, identity, safety, mobility, or jobs, and talk about lighter, happier ways to move forward.  
 
We’ll share nourishing insights, information and resources, all with humor and grace.

Please contact wendy.dc.ttn@gmail.com if you would like to be added to the waitlist for this program.

A visit to Salem, Massachusetts, reminds us of the witch trials of 1692-3.

Michelle D. Brock takes us through an overview of this fascinating and complex era and asks what insights we gain as we learn about these events.

Registration Deadline: Thursday, November 11, 2021

Join us for a trip to the National Gallery of Art to enjoy, among other exhibits, its new special exhibition Behind the Camera. Women actively participated in the development of photography soon after its inception in the 19th century. Yet it was in the 1920s, after the seismic disruptions of World War I, that women entered the field of photography in force. Aided by advances in technology and mass communications, along with growing access to training and acceptance of their presence in the workplace, women around the world made an indelible mark on the growth and diversification of the medium. They brought innovation to a range of photographic disciplines, from avant-garde experimentation and commercial studio practice to social documentary, photojournalism, ethnography, and the recording of sports, dance, and fashion.

Misty Water-Colored Memories? - Online Presentation

Sunday, December 5, 2021, 7‑8pm EST
Location: Online
All Attendees: FREE
How do we recapture memories of our lives, of our families, of the times we lived through?  Can we really trust what we remember?  What does it mean to tell the “truth” about the past?  What do we owe to those who may remember it all differently?  Do we still see things in retrospect in the same way we experienced them in the moment?
 
Writing a memoir requires asking oneself these and other questions about memory, family, and history.  But even if you have no plans to capture your life on paper or publish the stories you want to pass on, these questions are key to harvesting the wisdom that is the gift of age.
 
Leslie Sussan will share some of her reflections on the challenges and rewards of writing a memoir.  You are invited to consider what gifts and obstacles you find in the process of looking back at families and memories from the perspective of today.

   A Look Back at the Early Days of TV Advertising 

                               Back by popular demand -Brian Rose

Those commercials we grew up with!

When television began in the late 1940s, advertising was already a vital part of the picture. TV’s first big hit, Milton Berle, appeared on The Texaco Star Theater; Frank Sinatra hosted Bulova Watch Time. Throughout the 1950s, advertisers were fully in charge, controlling the content of a large part of prime time, and selling their products through live demonstrations, celebrity testimonials, inventive animation, and ads that integrated directly into the program. 

With the shift away from full sponsorship to 30-second “participating” spots in the 1960s, a new era of creativity emerged, as advertisers embraced new techniques and approaches in order to reach new generations of consumers. This talk will look at how advertising changed during television’s first two decades and the important role it played in convincing viewers that the key to happiness lay in quite literally buying their way into the American dream.
