David Abram: Consciously Expanding World Perception
|

Regarding David Abram’s first book The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World, Bill McKibben writes that Abram “has written the best instruction manual yet for becoming fully human.” He was named by the Utne Reader as one of a hundred visionaries currently transforming the world, Abram’s work engages the ecological depths of the imagination, exploring the ways in which sensory perception, poetics, and wonder inform our relation with the animate earth. In recent years the New England Aquarium and the Orion Society sponsored a public debate between David Abram and distinguished biologist E. O. Wilson on science, ethics, and the future of environmentalism. His essays on the cultural causes and consequences of ecological disarray have appeared in such journals as Orion, Parabola, Environmental Ethics, Tikkun, Wild Earth, Resurgence, and The Ecologist, and in numerous edited anthologies. Cultural ecologist, philosopher, and performance artist, Abram is the founder and creative director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics. His new book, Becoming Animal is due out in 2010. Sponsored by Lexington Community Education. $10/person, tickets in advance or pay at the door.

Lexington Arts and Crafts Society Weavers Guild Opportunities

Special Opportunities available to
all Weaving Guilds and aspiring weavers in the Greater Boston area
In the interest of making the weaving craft increasingly accessible to current and potential weavers, The Lexington Weavers Guild is pleased to announce the opening of its weaving studio in Lexington, MA, for extended hours (daytime and at least one evening a week) and to non-Guild members, as indicated below.
The new opportunities to weave are:
• Learn from scratch. We have a learners’ loom set up to weave a sampler towel and thereby try out the craft. If you like it and want to proceed, then you may become a member of the Guild and of the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society and learn to warp a loom, using the materials and equipment available in the studio.
• For experienced weavers, select looms are available for rent in the studio: a Swedish tapestry loom and a triangular loom – pending availability. Rental of the loom (and use of related equipment) will be for a defined period of time, the terms of which will be negotiated. The weaver uses his or her own fibers.
• At all times, experienced weavers who want the opportunity to use a variety of looms and be part of a communal experience, are invited to join the Lexington Weavers Guild and to share in the camaraderie and informal learning that characterizes the time spent together in this studio. In doing so, one becomes a contributing member of the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society, the only studio-based society (including nine guilds) in the southern New England area.
For information, please call Adele Harvey at 781-259-0252 or Rachel Rosenblum at 781-862-7036.
The Lexington Arts and Crafts Society is a non-profit 501 (C) (3) organization established in 1935 dedicated to preserving and educating the community in the visual arts.

In the current economy, most nonprofit organizations face extremely tight marketing communications budgets, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create and execute effective marketing plans. In fact, these days, the ability to make and execute smart marketing communications decisions is more important than ever. If you are concerned about the effectiveness of your marketing communications programs, then don’t miss this seminar. This interactive workshop is designed to help both leadership and marketing staff to think about: Who are your target audiences? What are the most cost-effective ways to reach them? How will you know what’s working? You will leave armed with some practical tools that you can implement immediately to improve your marketing communications.
The seminar will be conducted by Michele Levy, a seasoned brand strategist. Michele considers herself a brand therapist for nonprofits, start-ups and what she affectionately refers to as “other entrepreneurial organizations.” She has worked with a wide range of nonprofit and corporate clients of all sizes, adeptly bridging the sectors and leveraging best practices from both. Her work includes research, brand strategy, communications planning, and training. She is a valued thought leader and lecturer, and has spoken on branding and communications to a variety of organizations, including the Association of Fundraising Professionals, the American Association of State and Local History, the National Association of Independent Schools, the New England Museum Association, the Medical Reserve Corps, Museums of Boston, Regional Independent School Communicators and the Essex County Community Foundation. An honors graduate of Harvard College, Michele received her MBA from Boston University. More about Michele at www.brand-strat.com
