Sing songs, read a story, do a craft!

Presented by Raditia Lasry

Life is a continuous cycle of beginnings and endings. Yet, as humans, we often struggle to embrace endings.

In this workshop, we explore the nature of grief and how to navigate loss—whether it’s as small as an unexpected event cancellation or as profound as the passing of a loved one.

Through this process, we uncover ways to find new meaning and move forward with greater openness. 

Fridays from end of May through mid-October. 3:00 TO 6:00 PM Rain* or Shine!

Held at the KENT LAND TRUST FIELD, 37 South Main Street (Route 7 just south of the traffic light) and across the road from Kent Greenhouse & Gardens

Fresh produce, baked goods, homemade preserves, fresh poultry, gourmet mushrooms, herbal teas & products, honey, maple syrup, salsa, guacamole & chips, and more!!

*In case of heavy rains or storms we will be located at CT Antique Machinery Association, 31 Kent Cornwall Rd (Route 7 North) - advance notice will be given.

Friday, October 24th, 2nd Home welcomes back Dave Galt, and we are very much looking forward to having him back. Dave performs a great mix of softer classic rock and other gems. Come down and enjoy some great music.

During his later career, he presented satiric slideshow lectures in collaboration with New York’s electronic music and video artists. His solo show, Better Love Through Surveillance, had successful stagings in downtown New York theaters during the 2010’s. Jon is retired and lives full-time in Norfolk.

AM Session: 

World faiths and psychological analyses all agree: Communication expresses the real intention of the speaker and is the main tool we have to communicate, confront and persuade. We all know this and we all know that it can be hard. Sometimes we need to adjust, not just our words, but our inner intention, to formulate a question that can open and touch the heart of the other person. 

During the morning session, we will review some of the rich and varied religious and psychological teachings about effective communication. Applying these teachings can affect not only the person we are speaking to. It can also help us center, know ourselves and speak the truth; a true tool for evolution.

PM Session:

In the afternoon we will practice some of the theory we learned in the morning session. We will experience exercises for asking open-ended questions, compassionate confrontation, and preparing ourselves for difficult conversations.

Lunch is included.

This timeless tale of love and magic will be brought to life by the finest dancers of the Ukrainian National Opera and Ballet Theater.

 The graceful movements of the dancers will transport audiences to a world of enchantment and wonder.

Swan Lake is a ballet masterpiece that tells the story of a prince who falls in love with a beautiful swan princess under a spell. The ballet is renowned for its stunning choreography, intricate set design, and Tchaikovsky’s captivating music. It’s themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption continue to resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, making it a timeless classic that has endured for more than a century.

The dramatic story of Dan Rather and his CBS News team’s courageous coverage of the Tiananmen Square uprising and subsequent crackdown represents a pinnacle in television news’ ability to provide live reporting of unfolding events on the world stage. Although CBS News delved into the Tiananmen Square story without hesitation, it was the obvious bravery of the Chinese student leaders in the face of their government’s growing impatience that grabbed the world’s attention. This film will be introduced by its director, Bestor Cram.

Out in the Corner and the David M. Hunt Library are partnering for a LGBTQIA+ game night on the first Thursday of the month, from 5:30-7 pm. Bring your own games, play those provided, or just hang out. Snacks are provided!

Coming to Light tells the dramatic story of Edward S. Curtis, a complicated, passionate, self-educated pioneer and visionary artist who set out in 1900 to document traditional Native American life before it was gone. He created an astonishing body of work: thousands of wax recordings, a full length motion picture with Kwakiutl people, twenty volumes of text, and forty thousand photographs. The film explores the often controversial nature of Curtis’ romantic images, and the meaning they have for Native Americans today. In the documentary, Hopi, Navajo, Cupig, Blackfeet, Piegan, Crow, Suquamish, Kwakiutl and Gros Ventre people, descendants of Curtis’ photographic subjects, tell stories about the people in the pictures, and describe ways in which they are using the photographs to revive their own traditions in the modern world. The film will be introduced by director Anne Makepeace.
