SUMMARY:Faith and Film: Exhibiting Forgiveness
DESCRIPTION:Exhibiting Forgiveness (95% Tomatometer)\n2024 Drama 1h 57m \nWe will screen and discuss the film onsite at Hillside Community Church\, 144 North Street\, Medford or you can watch at home and join the online discussion at 8:30 pm. \nAudience Says: Beautifully rendered by Titus Kaphar\, Exhibiting Forgiveness is a profound reflection on fractured relationships and the ways we heal. \n\nCritics Consensus: André Holland lays himself bare in a characteristically wonderful performance in this vivid portrait of a family coming to terms with the past. \nSummary:\nTarrell (Holland) is an admired American painter who lives with his wife\, singer Aisha (Day)\, and their young son\, Jermaine. Tarrell’s artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his youth\, keeping past wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father\, La’Ron (Jelks)\, a conscience-stricken man desperate to reconcile.\nTarrell’s mother\, Joyce (Ellis-Taylor) a pious woman with a profound and joyful spirituality\, hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness\, giving them all another chance at being a family. Tarrell and La’Ron learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving in this raw and deeply moving film.

SUMMARY:Faith & Film: The Holdovers
DESCRIPTION:Join the screening and discussion of this award-winning film.  We will order Pizza – you can bring something to share (wine\, beer\, soft drinks welcome)! \nIf you cannot join us in person for the screening (please watch the film @ home on Amazon Prime) join us online for the discussion at 7:15 pm. \nWe are partnering with certified babysitting Girl Scouts (and troop leaders) to provide a kid’s fun night so that parents can have a night out.  Kids will be downstairs\, while we watch and discuss upstairs!! Kids will get pizza too!  Registration for kids is required here. (Let us know if you need help with the child care suggested donation) \nFilm Summary: A curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school remains on campus during Christmas break to babysit a handful of students with nowhere to go. He soon forms an unlikely bond with a brainy but damaged troublemaker\, and with the school’s head cook\, a woman who just lost a son in the Vietnam War. These three very different shipwrecked people form an unlikely Christmas family sharing comic misadventures during two very snowy weeks in New England. The real journey is how they help one another understand that they are not beholden to their past-they can choose their own futures.  97% Tomatometer – Watch the Trailer \nReviews: \n\nTHE HOLDOVERS IS the perfect Christmas movie if you don’t always spend the holidays conventionally. The film not only took home two Golden Globe awards for being one of the best films of 2023\, but also took home an Academy Award for Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s sterling Best Supporting Actress performance in the movie.\nIn a time when things often seem so hopeless\, when the same forces of inequality and military injustices plague our own world\, perhaps it’s this film’s realistic salve that makes it resonate so strongly.\nDespite the anxiety and even sadness its story exudes\, it’s a movie so in love with its characters\, and so steadfast in its humanist convictions\, that it reaches into your soul and melts even the most frozen of hearts.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nMeeting ID: 813 1241 7179\nPasscode: 624046

SUMMARY:Faith & Film: American Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Join the screening and discussion of this award-winning film.  We will order Pizza – you can bring something to share (wine\, beer\, soft drinks welcome)! \nIf you cannot join us in person for the screening (please watch the film @ home on Amazon Prime) join us online for the discussion at 7:15 pm. \nSummary: AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut\, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk\, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point\, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own\, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. 93% Tomatometer – Watch the Trailer \nReviews: \n\nJeffrey Wright and American Fiction will forever be inextricable thanks to the actor’s committed approach to the pointedly humorous and insightful material.\nSmart\, funny\, and poignant\, American Fiction will make you laugh as often as it makes you think.\n\n──────────\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84640019271?pwd=dv5dF5k3BTcbSui4EJibJnKhGRxsUw.1 \nMeeting ID: 846 4001 9271\nPasscode: 924454

SUMMARY:Art & Soul Circle: Design - Book - Art
DESCRIPTION:Design•Book•Art (in the Literary Corner) \n\nArt and Soul Circle: Reflecting on the questions that unfold from the art (collaborative circle conversation is facilitated by Rev. Wendy Miller Olapade\nCohosted by the artists (below) and Arts Collaborative Medford\n\nThe artist’s books in this exhibition are containers of visual stories exploring subjects that are very personal and deeply political. \nHere you have artists who start with their own experience of existing within their bodies\, and journaling their lives. Others expand into their immediate communities\, write down stories to document and expose their culture. Some use fiction\, mythical heroes and anti-heroes\, involved in allegorical stories reflecting our political climate. \nThese artists are also brilliant designers who let the concept drive the shape of the page. In their books\, meaning is created in the space between the image and the text. They demand that you be an active reader\, and viewer\, as the imagery goes beyond illustrating the text\, and the text is not a caption for the images. \nAt a time when we continuously consume information and entertainment on the screen\, the visual creations here are shaped into physical paper books\, a recognizable\, easily accessible and affordable art form. It’s impossible not to stop by the bookshop! \ncurated by Chantal Zakari ft. artists \nShaheed Abdullah @shaheedabdullah7\nZoya Amrit @tanvi_amrit\nJamie Atchinson @ok_kiddo_\nJoy Bedford @hi.im.joi\nValerie Cervantes @valerie.cerv\nRayya Check @rayya_chek\nClara Davis @claradavis.ai\nDaniela Gonzalez @daniela.phtos\nFreya Gupta @ffsfreya\nMcCall Hollister @mccall.holly\nEthan LeBlanc @ethansleblanc\nLeyla Mandel @leylamandel\nAnnabel Nied @annabelnied\nEve Sage @eve.sage.art\nJohn Sanchez @john_sanchez_2024\nEmrys Schweber @art_ducky_\nSaeroi Yune @saeroiyune \nOn Display: September 20th through November 8th

SUMMARY:Art & Soul Circle: "and then there was Light"
DESCRIPTION:The experience of loss is both universal and unique. Through poignant paintings and a collection of original poems\, this body of work beautifully and stunningly navigates the complexities of Grief. \nThis Art & Soul Circle will gently hold these shared human truths and guide participants toward Light. Whatever your relationship with loss – you will find love\, space\, and light in this circle of shared reflections. Rev. Wendy Miller Olapade & Chaplain Katie Willis will facilitate the dialogue. \nDescription of the Work: “and then there was Light” is an art exhibition highlighting the ephemeral science of loss after losing a loved one. Light has an interesting way of making itself known in spite of impending dusk\, and through various reflections and refractions and multiple mediums\, the light can… well\, come to light. \nArtist Statement: I made this series of work because the alternative was drowning. I am an empty cup poured over with love and grief and loneliness\, somehow gurgling through the depths of my loss despite feeling like I have nothing of me left. I was told that working with my hands will bring me back to myself\, and so I began the journey of this collection for that reason; I dug my fingers around my heart and spread it across paper so that I might illuminate lost pieces of my reflection. \nAt its core\, my art has been a way for me to connect with and embody the memory of my mother. The loss of my first friend\, caretaker\, and most ardent supporter has been beyond profound in its magnitude. I am left gaping and gasping for air when the Sun has blinked out of my life. And so in the absence of that foundational light\, I have inadvertently begun creating it. My pieces explore the traces light has cast upon a changing darkness\, as not every sadness is opaque. The work I create lives primarily through candlelight; candles are a manmade light\, a glow created to replace the warmth and brightness of the Sun. A fire that allows us to continue seeing despite the fall of night around us. Candles have always been a conduit for human perseverance. \nMy hope for this project lies in the delicacy of a child’s mourning; I want to honor my mother’s life and impact\, but I also want to acknowledge the ocean-deep depth of my loss and connect these feelings to those who might have experienced similar longing. \nArtist Biography: Bernadette Mary Dineen is a visual artist\, astrochemist\, and poet. She grew up in New England and began her artistic journey at a very young age\, her first inspirations being the animals and nature around her. As an autistic child\, she spent much of her time observing the people in her life to make sense of the world\, and this observation eventually spilled over into portrait work. Bernadette has split herself between art and science for most of her life\, truly finding home within both disciplines and existing as a unity between them. She is particularly interested in exploring different depictions of light and how it moves\, how it casts\, and how it settles in her works. Bernadette does not limit herself to a singular medium in her expression of light; she allows the inspiration to dictate which artform it wants to materialize in\, and in this diversity she is able to convey the gaping breadth of her grief in the wake of her mother’s recent death.

SUMMARY:Where Olive Trees Weep - Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are Free – RSVP/Registration Required Here. \nCohosted by Medford for Palestine & Sanctuary UCC – Screening is held at Medford Public Library. \n📍🕒 Doors will open at 5:30 PM\, with the screening starting promptly at 6:00 PM. A group discussion will follow after the screening. \nWhere Olive Trees Weep offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss\, trauma\, and the quest for justice. \nWe follow\, among others\, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish\, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi\, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons. \nAncient landscapes bear deep scars\, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation\, expulsions\, imprisonment\, home demolitions\, water deprivation\, and denial of basic human rights. Yet\, through the veil of oppression\, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives. \nThis emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: What makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty? \nTickets are Free – RSVP/Registration Required Here. \nWhere Olive Trees Weep Website.

SUMMARY:SoulCollage® Mini-Retreat w/Suzanne O'Neil\, certified facilitator
DESCRIPTION:SoulCollage® is an expressive arts practice done individually or in community. Founded by Seena B. Frost\, the method develops creativity and intuition\, encourages self-discovery\, and provides personal guidance. SoulCollage® meets you wherever you are on this journey called life. You don’t have to be an artist to make SoulCollage® cards. Anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice. \n\nAbout this Workshop/Mini-Retreat with certified SoulCollage® facilitator Suzanne O’Neil: With guided meditation\, dreamy music\, and delicious snacks\, we will spend time in luxurious card-making during this mini-retreat. Come play\, explore\, and relax in a safe space with like-hearted souls and learn more about Council\,  Committee\, Community\, and Companion cards. \nClick Here for Secure Registration and Payment (Onsite space is limited to 20):  $35/per person; includes Mat boards\, scissors\, glue\, images\, snack\, tea\, water. You are welcome to bring images if you have any you would like to use (this is optional). \nPlease Note: Facilitating a hybrid workshop is challenging when it comes to Art – thus we are planning a Virtual SoulCollage Workshop following this one!\n\n~~~ \nMore about SoulCollage® \n \nSoulCollage® is an easy\, enjoyable\, intuitive collage process for self-discovery and community. People make their own decks of collaged cards for their personal use from found images. \nThe SoulCollage® method helps people discover their unique inner/outer guides and challengers\, and access their own wisdom to answer their life questions. SoulCollage® is a method used in many contexts and applications. \nWe who are attracted to SoulCollage® are evolving. We’re creative\, self-reflective\, and eager to discover and balance the many parts of ourselves. We each want to be able to be the best version of ourselves we can be and contribute our gifts to others. \nWe are challenged\, we struggle\, but we always return to our basic willingness to look at what is so\, to listen and to change. From that ever-evolving\, empowered place of wholeness\, we cannot help but contribute to and affect our worlds—our friends and families\, our communities\, and our fields of interest. \nSoulCollage® cards are made with the simplest of tools – magazine images\, scissors\, mat boards\, and a glue stick (all provided). \n\nSee the gallery of sample cards at the bottom of the home page on the soulcollage.com website.\nLearn more about making a SoulCollage® card.\nLearn more about theSoulCollage® story of You: Discover your wisdom. Change your world.\n\nInterested in SoulCollage online – let us know and we can schedule a Virtual SoulCollage.
