This workshop offers an opportunity to explore different techniques and forms of art, such as brush painting, pen and ink, watercolor, and drawing. All levels of experience and expertise are welcome. Participants will bring their own supplies and materials and will work independently. While class facilitators and participants can offer encouragement, ideas and suggestions to each other, this will NOT be an instructional class.

Coordinators: Basilio King, Christopher Melby and Alfredo Rodriguez

We all know the symptoms to watch for, and often, the steps to take. Fever? Aspirin and monitor. Funny looking mole? Off to the dermatologist. And on it goes. We are good at it. But how many of us know what to do when we can’t stop obsessing about the latest bad news? Can’t figure out how to deal with a recent mistake? Stressed to the max about one thing or another? Most of us didn’t learn that information at our mother’s knee, or anywhere else for that matter. Join me as we explore a few simple strategies that are like “aspirin” for an occasionally uncooperative mind.

Every group of humans ever discovered has had some kind of religious belief. Yet these beliefs and practices vary widely from one culture to another and even within the same religion. To understand people of other cultures and ethnicities, we need to understand their religions. In this study group, we will explore the earliest evidence of religious practices. As we then strive to gain a basic understanding of the Abrahamic (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), Dharmic (Hindu and Buddhist), and Taoic (Confucianism, Taoism, and Shinto) religions, we will also examine the similarities and differences among them.
