SUMMARY:Bill Gore: The Saugatuck Cosmology | Art Show
DESCRIPTION:On display in The Meetinghouse Gallery \nThe Saugatuck Cosmology\nArtwork by Bill Gore\nSeptember 6 – October 11\, 2026\n  \nOpening Reception:\nSunday\, September 6\, 2026 from 2-4 pm in the downstairs gallery.\nThe Gallery is open Tuesdays – Sundays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm for viewing. (Closed Mondays). \n  \nArtist’s Statement\nOver time the intelligence of the New England landscape has taken hold of my image making. I photograph the land and layer images in a virtual studio to search for connections between literal representation\, memory\, and imagination. \nI began by photographing the nearby Saugatuck River valley during numerous walks along the banks and over the woodland trails. The camera images provided a real-time record of this intersection of nature and man\, and I turned to digital methods as an avenue into deep-time explorations of the “more-than-human” intelligence of the river. The images that the camera saw passed into virtual space\, something like a digital bardo\, and mixed with the abstract expression of memory and sensory experience. From my process came a collection of layered photographs that gave visual form to my perceptions of the democratic life-forces of the waters that nurture all that lives along the riverbanks. \n

SUMMARY:Poets & Prophets for Emerging Change Leaders
DESCRIPTION:The world doesn’t need you to fit in. \nIt needs you to discover who you are—and what you are here to do. \nYou are growing up in a world of extraordinary possibility—and extraordinary uncertainty. \nAI is changing how we work. Climate change is reshaping how we live. Old institutions are being questioned. Communities are divided. And somewhere in the middle of all that noise is you—trying to figure out who you are\, where you belong\, and what difference you might make. \n  \nPoets & Prophets is for young people ready to explore those questions. \nOver ten weeks\, a small cohort of emerging leaders ages 16-18 will embark on a different kind of leadership journey—one that begins not with résumés\, titles\, or achievement\, but with the person you are becoming. \nJoin us at The Meetinghouse for this special cohort of Poets & Prophets focused on Emerging Leaders ages 16-18. Minimum 5 participants\, Maximum 12. Bring a pen and a notebook or journal. \nWhen: Thursdays starting September 17 through November 19\, 2026.  \nWhere: Upstairs in Shield’s Hall \nTime: 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm \nFor questions\, please contact us. The Meetinghouse | 602 Ridgebury Road | Ridgefield\, CT 06877.\nWe are conveniently located at the corner of Ridgebury & George Washington Hwy. \nRegister Here \nDownload the flyer\n  \nTHE JOURNEY\nKNOW YOUR STORY: Who am I becoming? \nExplore the experiences\, values\, strengths\, questions\, and people that have shaped you. Leadership begins with learning to recognize your own voice. \nFIND YOUR EDGE: What happens when I step beyond what I know? \nEvery meaningful journey includes a threshold—the place where the familiar ends and something new begins. We’ll practice curiosity\, courage\, deep listening\, and the ability to stay present when the answers aren’t obvious. \nFIND YOUR PEOPLE: Where—and with whom—do I belong? \nNo one becomes a leader alone.  We’ll explore friendship\, difference\, community\, conflict\, empathy\, and what it means to help create places where other people can flourish too. \nDISCOVER YOUR CALL: What is mine to do? \nLeadership is not simply getting people to follow you. It is learning to notice what is happening around you\, imagine what could be different\, and summon the courage to take the next faithful step. \n  \nYou don’t need to have your future figured out. You just need to be willing to begin. \nRegister Here
