State College, PA Events: Community Calendar

The Children's Eating Behavior Lab at Penn State University Park is looking for 7-8 year old children for a fun nutrition study! Contact Kara, our Project Coordinator, at [email protected] or 814-865-5169 for more information. You can also view a full description of the study and complete a screening questionnaire here: https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_41N3IXRBmXjegRf

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.

This class features yoga-inspired movement, songs, and baby play especially for newborn to pre-crawling babies as well as calming, nurturing ways to enhance bonding and support baby’s development, digestion and sleep. Most of the yoga we do in Baby Yoga is for baby, but parents will get to do a little bit of moving and stretching as well as breathing and relaxation techniques. Most appropriate from 6-weeks postpartum until baby is mobile. No previous yoga experience necessary.

Relax, renew, and restore your mind, body and spirit with a specially designed sequence of poses that focus on connecting movement to breath. This self-care practice focuses on slower transitions between postures and longer posture holds while promoting inner reflection, a restoration of balance between the mental and physical bodies, and self-compassion. Beginners welcome and modifications for Every Body will be offered.

The foundation of vinyasa is linking breath to movement. In this invigorating class, you will create heat and energy in the body as you flow through a sequence of postures linked by breath. In addition to physical postures that build balance, strength, and flexibility, this class integrates pranayama breathwork and meditation to instill a sense of calm and relaxation. An extended savasana at the end of practice provides an opportunity to soak in these mind-body benefits. Whether you are newer to yoga or an advanced practitioner, different pose variations are given so you may practice at your own comfort level.

Stay up to date on our most recent class schedule, via our website: http://www.wellnessinmotionstudio.com/classes-and-events/class-calendar/

Slow flow yoga offers an opportunity for renewal through slower transitions between postures, longer holds and mindful movement with breath awareness. This class welcomes practitioners of all ability levels (ages 12 – adult) who are interested in slowing the mind-body down and supporting the restoration of balance.

This class is a fusion of vinyasa flows and longer holds of yin yoga. The vinyasa portion will connect breath with movement through asanas, while the yin portion of class will give you a deep stretch to target deep connective tissue. A great combination to fuel your body, mind, and soul. This class is suitable for all levels of experience, with modifications provided.

“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

Boho Dancers
These figures are generally thought to be the Boho Dancers of the Proto-rococo-loco period. The Dance is held at the change of each season to help maintain the community equilibrium in vulnerable times.

Artist Manya Goldstein uses recycled materials to construct modern artifacts and "bubbe meises". Her art "offers a wry yet tender insight into the condition of being human". Goldstein combines her quirky sense of humor and surreal sensibility with a refined sense of design and color.

Come and join us on Sunday, February 23, at 2 pm in the Visitor Center, for a fun and interesting program on comets, from deep in the past up to the recently discovered interstellar comet passing through our solar system.
Comets are interesting celestial objects studied by professional and amateur astronomers alike. More and more, historians and archaeologists are recognizing the role of comets in human history, and may have set us on a course toward civilization. Once considered as harbingers of doom, today we know comets are chunks of rock and ice. This program looks at several comet visits through time up to today.
