State College, PA Events: Community Calendar

Still Here explores stories of migration, displacement, and survival by eight artists that represent a spectrum of the African Diaspora. The works in this exhibition use moving images to highlight the rituals and traditions that persevere and evolve, despite the oppressive historical ripple effects of colonialism and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Through practices and tools of survival such as migrating, defending, dancing, gathering, praying, and claiming agency over one’s body, the works in this exhibition demonstrate that black and brown bodies are not here for consumption of the white gaze, nor are they passive beings upon whom actions are done or inflicted. Artists include Larry Achiampong, Adama Delphine Fawundu, Third Horizon (Jason Fitzroy Jeffers), Carlos Javier Ortiz, Cinthia Marcelle, Melo-X, Helina Metaferia, and Joiri Minaya. Curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, Dexter Wimberly and Kiara Ventura, Still Here was originally organized at the Museum of the African Diaspora, San Francisco.

A mat-based formatted class designed for people who like to sweat & burn calories! Inspired by Yoga and Pilates using focus, flow, and fusion-style movements, as it incorporates dynamic balance, strength, flexibility, and functional training in a rhythmic style. Suitable for all levels!

This class focuses on yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and helps to bring balance to the body. Emphasis is placed on core strength, flexibility and balance as well as concentration and breath control. Basic, intermediate and more advanced variations of the asanas will be provided with a focus on proper breathing and safe alignment. Meditation, guided imagery and relaxation will also be incorporated to support deep relaxation. Whether a novice or seasoned yogi/yogini you will leave this class feeling both recharged and relaxed.

This class is a fusion of vinyasa flows and longer holds of yin yoga.

A great combination to fuel your body, mind, and soul. This class is suitable for all levels of experience, with modifications provided.

Looking for something different?
The Gathering -- meeting each Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. -- is true community worship. Set in the informal first floor at Trinity Bellefonte (not the sanctuary), The Gathering celebrates community with free homemade soup & bread, fresh veggies and other baked goods. We sit among friends at small cafe tables and sing acoustic music, then engage in a 10-minute sermon in which you can comment and ask questions. It's a 35-minute service that's open to all faiths and all people. It's come-as-you-are. Kids are welcome to run around.
If you're looking for a place to truly celebrate community, give The Gathering a try -- it's all what YOU make it!

Have you given much thought to how you want to be buried? No? Many people don’t! But what does this avoidance of death say about how we view life? How does it impact how we live our lives?

An incredibly intimate documentary, A Will for the Woods chronicles the final months of Clark Wang’s life as he slowly dies from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. His last wish? To be given a green burial. Staggering volumes of resources are used each year in burials: more than 1.6 million tons of concrete, 5 million gallons of embalming fluid, and 60,000 tons of steel. This doesn’t include the fuel use and atmospheric emissions of cremation. Wang’s hope is that in death he can improve the health of the planet. Not only does he want a less resource-intensive burial–no embalming, no concrete, no steel–but he might even protect the land in which he is buried in the process, saving a tract of land from clear-cutting. An incredibly humbling narrative about mortality and the lasting legacy we leave, this film asks you reconsider your own relationship to life and death.

Post-film panel to follow with local experts on mortuary services, hospice, and grief.

Amy Browne, Jeremy Kaplan, Tony Hale, and Brian Wilson (2014, U.S., 93 min.)

“Indigenous Roots/Routes: Contested Histories, Contemporary Experiences” reflects on the past five centuries of colonization and cultural exchange among Indigenous Peoples, Europeans, Africans and Americans. The exhibition explores the processes of social, religious and political adaptation, what it means to be rooted in or unrooted from one’s land, and how searching out unfamiliar routes forces others to travel new ones. It draws upon art, textural works and rare books from three major collections at Penn State: the Eberly Family Special Collections Library, the Matson Museum of Anthropology and the Palmer Museum of Art. Together the materials encourage us to question how history is written and how it informs contemporary works by Indigenous artists and activists. Located in the Special Collections Exhibition Gallery, 104 Paterno Library on Penn State's University Park campus, the exhibition is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, except for special holiday hours. The gallery is closed on Saturdays. Monthly hours of operation can be found at: https://libraries.psu.edu/monthly-hours?library=187
