SUMMARY:Remembering Rosa
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 6th for the 9th annual Remembering Rosa: A Concert for Peace. This year we are in Heywood Avenue’s auditorium (421 Heywood Ave.)\, and have a line up featuring music and dance from the Remembering Rosa Community Choir\, Ebenezer Baptist Church choir\, Heywood Avenue Choir\, East Orange Dance\, Concepts Dance Academy\, and the Steel Pan Ensemble of the Oranges. \nBrief remarks will be made by Dr. Mindy Fullilove (OHS Class of ’68)\, Rev. Bill Rutherford\, and Dr. Khemani Gibson (OHS Class of ’10). Three special “HonDoc” awards will be presented to three community leaders. \nThe concert is free and will also be live-streamed to University of Orange’s facebook and youtube pages.\nRemembering Rosa celebrates the legacy of Rosa Parks\, as an activist and a life-long learner\, and the feat of solidarity that led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott being organized and implemented just 4 days after her act of civil disobedience. Our concert brings together choirs from around Orange and Essex County to sing together in her memory\, but also to learn about and honor local histories of community organizing.

SUMMARY:What's the Story? A Memoir Writing Class
DESCRIPTION:10-week virtual memoir class offered by UofO\, taught by developmental editor Susan Hasho \nThe class is held on Wednesdays 11:00am to 12:15pm\, and will run 18 September – 20 November\, 2024. \nDo you have some stories you’d like to tell? There may be stories about your life that you want to tell your children or grandchildren\, perhaps about another country or culture you came from or your parents came from. Was there an experience that changed your life or your neighborhood? How about if you were in the military and you want to share something about that? If you have a desire to share or describe anything that you are fascinated by\, care about or even want to change\, this class is a place to do that. \nFormat \nWhat’s the Story is a 10-week writing class that intends to provoke\, free and guide anyone to write a memoir that reflects their own unique voice and life experience. This is a workshop-style interactive course. Participants will take turns sharing their work and have opportunities to receive feedback and guidance from the instructor and the other participants. There is also time to discuss technical skills\, confront creative blocks\, and set writing goals. All writing is done outside of class at your own pace. \n  \nSusan Hasho is a developmental editor which is an editor involved in the mysterious process of enabling writers and anyone interested in writing to find their way through the maze of expectations\, judgment and even fear to find the true heart of what they want to write. She has trained and worked as an actor and writer\, and moved into the advertising field to work as a copy editor for advertising agencies and Fortune 500 companies. She began working with writers several years ago as an editor and it became her goal to teach a writing class that would enable people to be as free of self-criticism and inhibiting expectations as possible in order to write clearly and openly with joy. \n  \nRegister here for this event. \n

The meetings will be hybrid: in person at Hale House (47 Cleveland Street\, Orange NJ) and on Zoom. \n  \nRegister here for the reading group.  \n

SUMMARY:Dharma Yoga Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Dharma Yoga is a modern interpretation of classical Eight-limbed or Hatha-Raja Yoga\, deeply rooted in ethical precepts that includes elements of flowing Vinyasa\, inversions and held poses that will help you to discover concentration\, meditation\, abiding contentedness and deep healing relaxation. Breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditative techniques regulate the heartbeat\, de-stress the nervous system and calm the mind. Guided deep healing relaxation or Yoga Nidra relieves stress\, slows down the thoughts\, calms the mind and recharges one’s physical body. A complete practice that will lead to radiant health\, a peaceful life and\, eventually self-realization. Dharma Yoga is traditional\, yet contemporary — perfect for the fast-paced world of today. \nAbout the practice: \nDharma I – A strong practice with basic yoga concepts\, postures\, introduction to pranayama (breathwork)\, and potent meditation techniques. \nParticipants can join any and all of the fall classes: \nSaturday\, October 12th\, 9am – 10:15am \nSaturday\, October 19th\, 9am – 10:15am \nSaturday\, October 26th\, 9am – 10:15am \nAbout the teacher: \nAditi is a urban researcher\, based in New York. Aditi grew up practicing yoga in her community center in Mumbai\, India. In 2020\, as the pandemic entered our lives\, Aditi turned to yoga\, to center healing and growth. Since then she has been practicing ashtanga yoga and reaping the benefits of this deeply meditative practice. To share this experience with everyone\, Aditi has been teacher training at the Dharma Yoga Center in New York\, learning under Shri Dharma Mitra. \nAs part of her teacher training\, Aditi is offering free yoga classes. Participants will be asked to fill out an evaluation form post-practice. This course will be an overview of the practice and we will offer a longer series in the fall.

SUMMARY:Reckoning With Root Shock Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 23rd\, 1pm-2pm ET. \nBetween 1949 – 1973\, 2\,532 federal urban renewal projects were carried out in 993 US cities. Seventy-five percent of the people displaced were people of color\, leading to James Baldwin’s famous remark\, “Urban renewal is Negro removal.” In honor of the 20th anniversary of Dr. Mindy Fullilove’s book Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It\, this webinar will revisit the importance of understanding the social and cultural impacts of neighborhood disruption and the displacement of communities of color that has occurred since the federal urban renewal projects. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Mindy Fullilove will engage in conversation with community development practitioners to discuss how the learnings from Root Shock can help us move towards more sustainable and democratic communities. The path forward must include a reckoning with our past as well as taking up the tasks of reweaving the social fabric and reknitting our physical spaces. Join Molly Rose Kaufman at the University of Orange\, Terri Baltimore at the Hill District and Evelyn Burnett at ThirdSpace Action Lab in an engaging conversation around how understanding the history of community displacement and its impacts on neighborhoods’ physical\, psychological\, cultural and economic well-being can help us navigate the pressures that cities are facing across the country and the world. \nThis webinar is hosted by Next City and sponsored by The Kresge Foundation. \nLearn more about the speakers and register for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:What's the Story? A Memoir Writing Class
DESCRIPTION:10-week virtual memoir class offered by UofO\, taught by developmental editor Susan Hasho \nThe class is held on Wednesdays 11:00am to 12:15pm\, and will run 18 September – 20 November\, 2024. \nDo you have some stories you’d like to tell? There may be stories about your life that you want to tell your children or grandchildren\, perhaps about another country or culture you came from or your parents came from. Was there an experience that changed your life or your neighborhood? How about if you were in the military and you want to share something about that? If you have a desire to share or describe anything that you are fascinated by\, care about or even want to change\, this class is a place to do that. \nFormat \nWhat’s the Story is a 10-week writing class that intends to provoke\, free and guide anyone to write a memoir that reflects their own unique voice and life experience. This is a workshop-style interactive course. Participants will take turns sharing their work and have opportunities to receive feedback and guidance from the instructor and the other participants. There is also time to discuss technical skills\, confront creative blocks\, and set writing goals. All writing is done outside of class at your own pace. \n  \nSusan Hasho is a developmental editor which is an editor involved in the mysterious process of enabling writers and anyone interested in writing to find their way through the maze of expectations\, judgment and even fear to find the true heart of what they want to write. She has trained and worked as an actor and writer\, and moved into the advertising field to work as a copy editor for advertising agencies and Fortune 500 companies. She began working with writers several years ago as an editor and it became her goal to teach a writing class that would enable people to be as free of self-criticism and inhibiting expectations as possible in order to write clearly and openly with joy. \n  \nRegister here for this event. \n
