SUMMARY:Ornamushrooms of Lunenburg: Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:ARTIST TALK & OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, January 16th\, 2024 at 7:00pm.\nThis is a free event\, no registration required. \n\nCat Bluemke’s “Ornamushrooms of Lunenburg” playfully weaves the Town’s architectural heritage with speculative future ecologies through experimental sculpture. Reproducing Lunenburg’s vernacular ornamentation through 3D models and mycelium\, her “Ornamnushrooms” probe the tension in our relationships to housing and food security amidst the global crisis of climate change. As both recent transplant and town resident\, the Artist situates her process within a historical lineage of adapting new technologies to local tastes. The exhibition explores a provocative dialogue between rot and renewal in coastal communities. Can we embrace the decay of our social fabric\, if it proves fertile ground to grow a new future?

Whether you are new to herbal medicine\, or you are wondering what is the next step to improve your knowledge and skill\, this workshop is for you.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover:\n\nCore philosophies and tools vital to a vibrant\, ethical\, and effective approach to herbal medicine.\n\nThe potential of herbal medicine in empowering\, accessible\, integrative healthcare.\n\nHow to connect with teachers and resources that will improve your herbalism skills.\n\nHands-on learning – Through sampling herbs\, we’ll use our senses and core philosophies to introduce the six foundational herbal actions (an intuitive shorthand for accelerating your herbal skills).\n\nAs part of this workshop\, we will also share some details about our upcoming Intermediate Program starting in May 2025. The times we live in deeply need the skills\, intention\, and heart that herbalists can offer. Come join experienced clinical herbalists Ember Peters and Oren Hercz in a class to fuel your inspiration and help guide you on your herbal path!

SUMMARY:Chester Playhouse presents Ben Caplan in concert
DESCRIPTION:Nova Scotia’s folk legend\, Ben Caplan\, brings a night of incredible music\, magical storytelling\, and powerful performance as his trio makes its first visit to the rebuilt Chester Playhouse. \n\n\n\nBen Caplan is both the roar of the hurricane and the eye of the storm. He has an uncanny ability to channel both wild abandon and quiet introspection. His songwriting pulls from many diverse influences\, but both his music and his lyrics regularly draw from his Jewish heritage. Often mixing biblical imagery and klezmer inflected melodies\, Caplan re-appropriates ancient sounds and themes with a decidedly contemporary twist. \n\n\n\nBen released his first studio album in 2011\, and has spent the last ten years recording music and performing to ever-growing audiences in music clubs and theatres around the world.
