SUMMARY:The Art of Sound Healing
DESCRIPTION:Learn from the Wenches of Wormwood\, a Market vendor the benefits of sound healing. Sound healing uses gentle vibrations and tones to support relaxation and nervous system regulation. Research suggests that sound-based meditation can help reduce stress\, ease tension\, and promote a calm\, focused state by encouraging the body to shift out of “fight or flight” and into rest. This free sound bath offers a simple opportunity to pause\, reset\, and leave feeling more grounded and refreshed.

SUMMARY:Uncle Tom’s Cabin: An American Classic?
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Celebrate250! Series marking the 250th anniversary of the United States\, we invite you to explore one of the most influential—and controversial—novels in American history.\nPublished in 1852\, Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe became a literary phenomenon\, selling more copies in the nineteenth century than any book except the Bible. The novel helped shape public opinion in the years leading up to the Civil War. Yet from the moment it appeared\, it sparked debate—and it continues to do so today. \nWhy has this book endured? Why has it divided readers for more than 170 years? \nIn this engaging program\, a guest speaker from the Harriet Beecher Stowe House will guide us through: \n\n\nHow and why Stowe wrote the novel \n\n\nThe iconic characters and unforgettable scenes that captured a nation’s attention \n\n\nThe rise of “Tom shows” and early film adaptations \n\n\nThe evolution of the term “Uncle Tom” \n\n\nThe book’s revival and reinterpretation by feminist critics \n\n\nTogether\, we will consider how Harriet Beecher Stowe’s voice speaks to us now—and what this American classic reveals about the issues we continue to face. \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED\nGeneral Admission: $15 per person \nWe are open to the general public. Our venue is fully accessible with a ramp entrance.

SUMMARY:Oregon Stories
DESCRIPTION:OREGON STORIES is a documentary created by John Bognar and John Mays in 2007 chronicling the rollicking history of Dayton’s Historic Oregon District. The doc traces the history of The Oregon District from its beginnings as the city’s first platted neighborhood\, providing housing for workers on the Miami-Erie canal\, through the prosperous 1800’s\, the 1913 flood\, the industrial era\, to the eventual blight of the 1950’s – 60’s.\nOREGON STORIES focuses on the period of renewal in the 1970’s when urban pioneers saved one of Dayton’s most unique neighborhoods. Full of great tales of people who lived it\, OREGON STORIES brings history to life with a rich cast of characters and raises important contemporary questions about the nature of community.\nSunday\, March 1 at 5:00. Tickets are $12.\nThe program will begin with an introduction by filmmakers John Bognar & John Mays\, and audience members can share their own “Oregon Stories” after the film.\nFilm-goers who want to continue the evening can call to make early dinner reservations at Jay’s Restaurant in the former Joseph Kratochwill’s Dayton Corn and Grist Mill which once connected to the Miami- Erie Canal\, now Patterson Boulevard.
