SUMMARY:A Holistic Approach to Mental Health: Pharmacology\, Psychotherapy\, and Psychoeducation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful conversation on November 20th\, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm\, where Dr. Joseph Strayhorn\, M.D.\, will delve into the holistic approach to mental health care. This session will cover essential topics such as the roles of pharmacology\, psychotherapy\, and psychoeducation in fostering mental well-being.

His experience spans both pharmacological treatments and therapeutic approaches\, making him uniquely positioned to address a wide array of mental health topics. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. To understand why both medication and psychotherapy\, although very useful\, are not enough to relieve the burden that mental illness poses for society. \n2. To understand the difference between psychoeducation and psychotherapy\, and to understand some of the reasons why psychoeducation has great promise. \n3. To be familiar with one answer to the question\, “What skills should we teach and learn\, in promoting mental health?” \n4. To be familiar with a method of psychoeducation which the speaker has been directing\, which is available for children and their families.

SUMMARY:"Rooms: The Works and Life of JJ Manford" with Gordon Sander and JJ Manford
DESCRIPTION:Join author and biographer Gordon Sander and artist JJ Manford for a conversation at Buffalo Street Books. \nAbout the Book: When Gordon Sander ’72\, BA ’73\, began an artist residency at Risley Residential College in 2002\, he was returning to familiar ground. The author\, photographer\, and journalist had come back to the Hill twice before to work on books and had a history of hiring Risleyites as assistants. But this time would be different. Not only would Sander end up doubling his planned one-year stay\, he’d also meet a fine arts major who’d go on to become a lifelong friend and collaborator. \nThat student was Jonathan “JJ” Manford ’06—the subject of Sander’s ninth book\, titled Rooms\, to be published by a small Latvian art press in January 2024. “Back at Cornell I envisioned writing a book about JJ at some point\,” admits Sander\, whose byline has appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, and numerous other publications. “The idea was like one of those bubbles at the bottom of a glass of soda.” Now a painter whose work has been mentioned in the New Yorker\, Manford was named by the popular online art marketplace Artsy as one of its most sought-after “emerging” artists in 2022. \nAbout the Artist: JJ Manford’s remarkable work and exquisite style\, which has been described as “psychedelic realism\,” has been featured in The New Yorker\, Art Net and numerous other publications. His “lush interiors\,” to paraphrase The New Yorker\, hang in various museums\, including ICA Miami and Everson Museum of Art of Syracuse\, as well as many distinguished private collections.

SUMMARY:"Yield Everything\, Force Nothing" Generative Creative Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:About the Workshop Series: \nYield Everything\, Force Nothing is the title of a Jean Valentine poem and hopefully a blessing over this workshop series. In these three classes\, we will yield to our intuition\, write expansively\, and try to forgo the everyday pressures of linear thinking. I will gently guide you through fun\, multi-step interactive prompts and we’ll engage in playful\, radical revision techniques. You will surprise yourself. The most common feedback I get about my teaching style is “I’ve never taken a class like this before” and “I can’t believe I just wrote this!” \nThese classes are meant for adult writers and humans of all skill levels. \nTo register: https://forms.gle/jTL548EPmMpWL8HXA. You are welcome to join 1\, 2\, or all 3 classes. Sliding scale\, if payment is a barrier for you\, please email nicolevbasta@gmail.com. 50% of all proceeds will go to a family in Gaza.

SUMMARY:O Christmas Tea: A British Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Fans of Monty Python\, Mr. Bean\, and Dr. Seuss… Grab your teacups! \nCombining British propriety with an unabashed love for the unexpected\, London’s 3-time Impresario Award-winning duo steep an outrageously funny and brilliantly inventive show reminiscent of classic British pantos. \nRich in wordplay\, comic physicality\, and cleverly crafted interactive elements\, O Christmas Tea is uproarious fun\, yet it is the duo’s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that provide the real magic and heart of this play. \nWhen catastrophe strikes at James and Jamesy’s Christmas tea party\, flooding the world with tea\, the duo conjure wildly funny solutions to stay afloat\, and sweep the audience out to sea in a jolly aquatic escapade brimming with whimsy\, action\, and ingenuity in a celebration of friendship at Christmas. \n“Complete and utter fun… for all ages.”\n★★★★★ CBC \n“Outrageously funny\, magnificently written\, beautifully choreographed.”\n★★★★★ London Free Press \n“An ode to the idea that anything is possible.”\n★★★★★ Torontoist \n“I cannot think of a show that will leave you more profoundly happy than this.”\n★★★★★ Stage Door \nHailed as “a child’s imagination on steroids” by London Free Press and “a masterpiece of physical comedy” by Theatre In London\, critics rave for the charismatic James & Jamesy. A must-see performance on the international comedy circuit\, this unstoppable duo is regarded as “one of the most popular fringe duos ever” (CBC). \nGet a glimpse into O Christmas Tea : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hfptIluoEE
