SUMMARY:Angela Jane: Landscapes and Friends
DESCRIPTION:On display in The Meetinghouse Gallery \nLandscapes and Friends\nPhotography by Angela Jane\n  \nMay 30 – August 17\, 2025\nUpstairs Gallery of Shields Hall\, The Meetinghouse \nThe Gallery is open Tuesdays – Sundays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm for viewing. (Closed Mondays). \n  \n  \nArtist’s Statement\nI’m Angela MacManus\, a Ridgefield resident who’s the photographer and artist behind ‘by Angela Jane™ ’ which is the name I use for my artwork and online presence. \nI purely focus on beautiful pieces of art and gifts for your home or office\, where everything is either photographed by me on my travels around the world\, painted\, digitally created\, or lovingly handcrafted\, in my Ridgefield Connecticut studio. \nFor this show I have selected one genre – photography – and have picked a small selection showing varied landscapes\, seascapes\, and animals from my travels in the US\, Europe\, and UK. \nThe images on display range from large\, limited edition\, statement panoramic landscapes to smaller\, open edition\, cute animal scenes – each with its own personal (to me) story. \nI hope you like looking at photographs as much as I do\, and that they evoke calming\, happy memories and emotions for you too… \n…hearing your stories and how you connect to my images\, for me\, is what makes it all worthwhile. \nEnjoy the show! \n  \nTo view more of Angela Jane’s work or contact her; \n\nVisit her website  https://byangelajane.com/\nFollow her on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/byangelajane\nFollow her on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/byAngelaJaneUSA

All too often\, we over-focus on the gaps and the deficits. Transformation involves courage\, risk\, and letting go that we might lead with integrity in these tumultuous times. \nWednesday\, May 21 from 6:30-8:30pm \nLed by Dr. Deborah Rundlett  \nThe Meetinghouse\, Shields Hall\, 602 Ridgebury Road\, Ridgefield\, CT \nCost: $25. Register below. \n  \nThis Introduction to the Formational Journey will provide insight into five movements that inform who we are and how we lead: \n\nCore: Who are you at your core? How does your life journey inform who you are and your best self?\nCharacter: Integrity is at the heart of conscious leadership. Are you ready to commit to a journey of transformation\, understanding that integrity is born of wholeness rather than perfection?\nCommunity: Life was never intended to be a solo journey. Who provides support in your life? What breaks open your heart? How will you connect with source?\nCall: You came into your work out of a sense of passion and call. Over time\, if we’re not attentive\, call can become displaced by duty. This is your opportunity to renew your call as you explore what it means to lead in this threshold time.\nCompetence: We all bring gifts to our work. But our core competencies alone are not enough. Specific attention will be given to the competencies of Poet & Prophet toward the flourishing of people and planet.\n\n  \nFor more information\, please email Deborah@PoetsProphets.net.

SUMMARY:Poetry in Turbulent Times Workshop with Poet Laureate Ira Joe Fisher
DESCRIPTION:Poetry in Turbulent Times Workshop \nwith Ridgefield Poet Laureate Ira Joe Fisher at The Meetinghouse! \n  \nWhy this workshop? In Ira’s words: \nA poem is small …but its reach is far: global\, universal\, and into\nyour own soul.\nJoin us to encounter the poem written to end hate and to end war.\nRead a poem of peace; then\, create your own poem … of peace… \nAll poets should arrive with one poem in hand for that day. It will be read and discussed with possible revision (as writing is rewriting). The atmosphere will be supportive and engaging. You will leave with ideas and a good\, creative feeling. \nThis workshop is offered in two sessions. Registration is limited to 5 poets per session. Please register for either date\, but not both. \n\nRSVP below for the May 13\, 2025 workshop\nClick here to register for the May 27\, 2025 workshop
