SUMMARY:Rejuvenate: Find Balance in the Bungalow
DESCRIPTION:Feeling stressed\, overwhelmed and disconnected? These emotions\, all too common for many\, were part of the inspiration behind the Rothko Chapel’s upcoming educational series “Rejuvenate: Find Balance in the Bungalow.” \nLed by experienced teachers\, these structured courses represent different approaches to meditation\, all aimed at centering and quieting the mind\, public programs director Michelle Ashton explained. \n“The Rejuvenate series is aimed at helping people find enrichment from awareness and mindfulness through meditation\,” she said. “We hope the community joins us to learn a variety of ways to cultivate relaxation or deepen their concentration through contemplative practices.” \nBeginning on April 5\, “Rejuvenate: Find Balance in the Bungalow” will run for six-weeks. The drop-in rate for an individual class is $12\, while admission to an entire series is $60. Participants may also purchase a pass to enjoy any class at any time for $100. \nGayle Ross DeGeurin will be leading classes at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays\, April 5 through May 10. There will be no class on April 12. A former chair of the Rothko Chapel board\, she will share practices and insights on meditation collected from her life. She is a student of Thich Naht Hanh and incorporates relaxation techniques from Erich Schiffman. \nAnn Friedman will teach a series at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays\, April 6 to May 11. A licensed psychologist\, she has studied meditation intensely for the last 10 years. She has a Mindfulness Facilitation Certificate from UCLA and teaches mindfulness practices that focus on attentiveness through sitting\, walking and mindful breathing. \nJoseph Newland will lead a series called “Exploring Inner Space” at 6 p.m. on Thursdays\, April 7 through May 12. He has meditated under many teachers over the years\, including Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan beginning in 1981. Breath\, energy\, and consciousness will be the constant theme of the classes – and even students with no experience in meditation will be able to join. \nThe fourth series will be led by Alejandro Chaoul at 8 a.m. on Fridays\, April 8 through May 13. Chaoul is assistant professor and director of education at M. D.

SUMMARY:Confronting Inequality: Alternative Economies\, Resilient Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Rothko Chapel has scheduled a four-day symposium exploring economic inequality and ways communities can improve and sustain local economies. March 31-April 3 \n“Confronting Inequality: Alternative Economies\, Resilient Communities” is slated to start with the keynote at 7 p.m. on Thursday\, March 31. \nTerry Tempest Williams\, author\, conservationist and activist\, will serve as keynote. She is known for speaking out on behalf of taking an ethical stance on life – and frequently discusses the social implications of environmental issues\, which are social issues that ultimately become matters of justice. \n“Williams asks her audience to consider a different type of power\, one that could be redistributed equally\,” Rothko Chapel executive director David Leslie said. “She is a fascinating figure\, who has testified before Congress on women’s health issues\, been a guest at the White House and camped in the remote wilderness in Alaska and worked as a barefoot artist in Rwanda.” \nWilliams is currently the Annie Clark Tanner Scholar in Environmental Humanities at the University of Utah.\nThe conversation will continue in greater depth through interactive panel discussions – from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday\, April 1 and from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday\, April 2 and Sunday\, April 3. For a full schedule\, visit rothkochapel.org. \nA variety of noted speakers will delve into the relationship between economic inequality\, spirituality\, gender\, environmental sustainability\, systems of power\, oppression and art. \n“Each panel is diverse\, consisting of spiritual leaders\, academics\, activists\, and artists — in order to make sure the conversation is grounded in both theory and real-world applications\,” public programs director Michelle Ashton said. \nDavid Leslie added that the symposium is particularly timely. \n“With the nation experiencing the impact of economic inequality and the erosion of the middle class\, alternative economic and community development models have gained even greater attention\, particularly urban cooperative economies in cities like Houston and Detroit\, as well as cooperatives and rural communities throughout the country\,” he said. “This symposium presents an opportunity to bring together a broad range of thinkers to focus on creative\, effective responses to eliminating economic inequality.” \nLeslie explained that inequality is not only an economic and political problem – but also raises moral questions about interconnectedness in society. \n“In response to these questions\, innovative alternative economies are emerging locally\, nationally and globally that have the potential to create a more equitable\, socialy responsible and environmentally sustainable world\,” he said. “This symposium will offer an in-depth exploration of these ideas.” \nEach panel will be preceded by interactive experiences for the audience\, including meditation and poetry reading. Receptions will be held following the discussions.
