SUMMARY:Passage to Poros: A book talk with Edward Tick
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Clapp Memorial Library on Thursday\, December 11 at 7pm for Passage to Poros: In the Sanctuary of the Sea God\, a book talk with Dr. Edward Tick. Explore the reawakening of ancient Greek healing practices by taking this journey of transformation\, myth\, and divine presence to the sacred island of Poros\, a site of pilgrimage and healing for more than 3\,000 years. This book examines pilgrimage\, sanctuary\, and asylum\, the duties of Poseidon who was the ruling god of Poros. Edward Tick rediscovers asylia\, the original practice of sanctuary that provides safety and inspiration while facilitating healing and connection to divinity. He explores “crossing the strait” as safe passage between the visible world and the invisible realms of the sacred. Drawing on ancient traditions\, Tick shows how we know ourselves\, our destinies\, and our connection to the divine through dreams\, visions\, oracles\, and synchronistic events. Passage to Poros offers wisdom for anyone seeking healing\, sanctuary\, spiritual presence\, and reconnection with ancient and eternal forces. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

SUMMARY:Handwriting the Constitution
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, September 23 from 6:30-8:30pm\, the Clapp Memorial Library will be hosting Handwriting the Constitution as a culminating event for Constitution Week. The library will provide copies of the Constitution to participants and a variety of paper\, pens\, and other art supplies will be available for people to use. Handwriting the Constitution is a social art project begun in 2017 by artist Morgan O’Hara. It invites people from all walks of life to meet in public spaces to handwrite the US Constitution or other documents written to protect human rights and freedoms. This art practice was created so that people will know their rights\, deepen their understanding of laws created to protect these rights\, and to help resist negative thinking. To date approximately 2000 people have participated\, both nationally and internationally.
