Facilitation and Training Inspiration for Unprecedented Times
Six weeks of interactive and collaborative sessions, Tuesday mornings January 19th – February 23rd 11:00 Eastern to 12:30 EST • Workshop includes your choice of one of Jen Stanchfield’s books or facilitation tools. Nine professional development hours available. Limited to 20 participants.

Over the past six months, facilitators and trainers have been creatively adapting to remote meetings and learning environments. As the need for innovative engagement strategies continues, there is a valuable opportunity for collaborative problem-solving and a need for inspiration and support from peers in the field. In response, Jen Stanchfield has created a series of “Inspiration and Support” sessions for experiential facilitators, trainers, and coaches. This dynamic online professional development series offers a combination of practical tools and techniques, mentoring, and moral support. Join in and fill your toolbox with interactive brain-based techniques to inspire, motivate, and promote engagement, buy-in, and meaningful reflection and dialogue. We will focus on ways to thoughtfully design and sequence remote learning experiences to increase engagement, meet specific therapeutic, training, and group development goals. Join this dynamic session and take away both practical methods, and a deeper understanding of the “why behind what you do” in group facilitation.
We will explore:
• Experiential, brain-based approaches to actively engage learners physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually
• Practical strategies to impart the fundamentals of experiential group facilitation such as the importance of participant choice and control, sequencing, ongoing assessment, and meaningful reflection to create lasting lessons
• Techniques for increasing participant involvement, buy-in, and ownership in learning experiences
• Methods to help group leaders design, sequence, facilitate and adapt activities to enhance learning outcomes in remote learning
• Compelling research from the neuroscience field that informs facilitation, engagement, and social-emotional skills development
• Innovative reflection tools and techniques to increase relevancy, meaning, depth of understanding, and connection to future learning situations
• The role of the facilitator as guide, and the importance of flexibility, attitude, adaptation, and awareness of group and individual needs and differences
The program involves six weekly hour and a half long sessions. Tuition includes a copy of one of Jen Stanchfield’s latest books: Tips & Tools for the Art of Experiential Group Facilitation or Inspired Educator, Inspired Learner: Experiential, Brain-Based Activities and Strategies to Engage, Motivate, Build Community and Create Lasting Lessons. To encourage collaboration and sharing the session will be limited to 20 people.

Event Details

One of America’s most admired living artists, Lois Dodd joins artist Eric Aho in an online conversation about her life and work. This event is presented in connection with the exhibit FIGURATION NEVER DIED: NEW YORK PAINTERLY PAINTING, 1950-1970, which features the work of Dodd and nine of her contemporaries.

Dodd is known for her deceptively casual landscapes, figure studies, and floral studies as well as for her interior and exterior scenes. She studied art and textile design at The Cooper Union in New York in the late 1940s under the aegis of Peter Busa and Byron Thomas. After discovering plein-air painting at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Dodd began spending her summers in Penobscot Bay. She joined a wave of New York modernists who had begun to explore coastal Maine after the end of the Second World War. Dodd’s works are in permanent collections throughout the United States, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and The Cooper Union. She is represented by Alexandre Gallery, New York.

BMAC has exhibited Aho’s work on numerous occasions, most recently in a 2009-2010 solo show, ICE BOX. His work is in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, among others, and has been exhibited at the New Britain Museum of American Art, Currier Museum of Art, and American Academy of Arts and Letters.

This event will take place via Zoom (link available at brattleboromuseum.org) and Facebook Live. A recording will be made available afterwards.

Event Details

Photographer Rachel Portesi demonstrates the process she used to create the tintype photographs in the exhibit HAIR PORTRAITS.

Each photograph is the result of a 26-second exposure directly onto a thin sheet of metal that has been painted black, then coated in emulsion to make it light-sensitive. The plate is immediately developed and placed in fixer, where the image appears. This archaic way of making “instant pictures” appealed to Portesi after she spent many years of shooting Polaroids, until the film became unavailable. (Now, thanks to The Impossible Project, Polaroid film is once again a possibility, though Portesi’s beloved Polaroid 667 black and white film has yet to be remade.)

This demonstration, followed by a Q&A will take place via Zoom and Facebook Live. A recording will be made available afterwards. Details at brattleboromuseum.org

This event is presented in connection with the exhibit RACHEL PORTESI: HAIR PORTRAITS, on view through February 14, 2021.

Event Details

The Brattleboro Winter Farmers’ Market is home to a diverse mix of market vendors bringing local farm produce, meats, syrup, fresh baked goods, local cheeses, fruits, cider, pickles, preserves, handmade soaps and artisan crafts. Pre-COVID19 delicious lunch menus and live music rounded out our weekly market experience but that is not happening this season.

We have a lean but mighty market in store for you this season. We’ll have half the number of vendors usually found at our market, and thus we’ll be well spread out around the space, allowing for plenty of social distance! You might even find a few hardy souls set up to serve you just outside our door.

Our market’s operation mode for this season will be “Shop ‘N Go” so sadly that means no cafe’ space to gather with friends, no live music, and a closed Kid’s Room. But, you will still find a wide variety of all things local – produce, greens, fruits, meats, syrup, honey, fresh baked goods, preserves, tea blends, coffee, handmade soap and more!

Masks are required, and as we will be limiting the number of customers in the market at one time to allow everoyone adequate space, we encourage you to shop alone or in twos, and when possible, leave the little ones at home.

Event Details

Build a rod puppet particular to Sandglass’ style with easy-to-follow demonstration videos and written explanations delivered to your computer via a private Facebook Group. Participants can work on their own time, and ask questions and connect with the cohort of puppet builders and instructors.

Cost for the class is $85 + Materials. You may opt to collect your own materials or you can order our kit for $45 plus $15 shipping costs (S&H is for contiguous USA only, contact us for quotes outside this mailing area). Curbside pick up is also possible. Orders for kits that will be shipped must be made by January 6; orders for curbside must be made by January 10 and will be ready for pick up January 18.

How will this class work?

The whole class will be conducted in a private Facebook group. Every day, we will post a combination of written instructions and videos of that day’s building steps, and some performer training exercises Sandglass uses in our teaching. There is no scheduled class time thus giving you flexibility to work on your own time. We will be available throughout the day and able to interact and answer questions. If you have questions they will surely be helpful for the whole group so please ask directly on the group page.

Event Details

Vermont Folklife Center researcher Ned Castle and photographer Federico Pardo discuss ICE SHANTIES: FISHING, PEOPLE & CULTURE, their exhibit documenting the ice shanties on Brattleboro’s Retreat Meadows.

In 2016, Pardo began documenting the shanties that appear each winter on the West River in Brattleboro. Over the course of two years, Pardo photographed the shanties using long-duration exposures, beginning his work after sunset and continuing long into the night. The resulting images, lit by both sunset and moonlight, carry a surreal quality of blended night and day. Many of the photographs are paired with audio recordings of the ice shanties’ owners, who were interviewed by Castle.

ICE SHANTIES: FISHING, PEOPLE & CULTURE is a production of the Vermont Folklife Center.

This event will take place via Zoom and Facebook Live. A recording will be made available afterwards. Details: brattleboromuseum.org

__________________________________

AARP VT has teamed up with Community Workshop to provide monthly Placemaking Meet-Ups for anyone working on placemaking or interested in getting started. Each month will feature a different theme, and will be a chance to explore placemaking examples, resources and tools. These meet-ups are a place to share knowledge, problem solve together, get inspired by the work happening across the state, and walk away with actionable projects and ideas.

Placemaking is about strengthening the connection between people and the places they share by reinventing and re-engaging with public spaces so they are once again the central focus of public life. As we grapple with the health and social impacts of COVID-19 on our communities, we will need to find new and creative ways for community members to safely connect with one another. We are all at risk of social isolation and as the winter months set in there is even greater risk for loneliness and isolation. Creating safe, vibrant, accessible public spaces can be one critical solution.

The theme for January is “Winter is Here.” For many of us, the lack of sunlight is the hardest parts of winter, and winter can be an especially daunting time to think about public space. We will explore fun ways to use lighting, warmth and other techniques to brighten up your downtown or village center and get people outdoors in the winter months.

Please share with us any projects you’ve been working on that incorporate these elements. We would love to showcase them during our meet-up. Send a picture and short description to Kelly at kstoddardpoor@aarp.org by Monday, January 25th.
Meet-ups are free and open to the public and will be held on Zoom. Future calls will feature different themes, and will all be held on the last Friday of the month.

Event Details

The Artful Ice Shanties Design-Build Competition is a celebration of the artistic talent and creative ingenuity of our region as well as the long history and tradition of ice fishing at the Retreat Meadows. Presented by the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center and Retreat Farm in connection with ICE SHANTIES: FISHING, PEOPLE & CULTURE, and ERIK HOFFNER: ICE VISIONS, this inaugural event is a timely observance of the delightful possibilities of winter, at a time when being outdoors is safest.

The Artful Ice Shanties will be displayed at Retreat Farm February 13-28. Most of the shanties will be displayed on solid ground in front of Retreat Farm, with a few placed on the Retreat Meadows ice.

Your ice shanty can be traditional or conceptual, functional or wacky, permanent or ephemeral (as long as it can withstand the elements for two weeks!), but it must be in some way artful. We encourage the use of recycled, repurposed, or donated materials, but new materials are certainly permitted.

Join us on Sunday, February 14, for a wintry, wonderful outdoor Awards Ceremony where a panel of local judges will give out an array of awards for ice shanties with notably artistic, inventive, or silly qualities.

ADMISSION: Free. Space for ice shanties is limited, so if you plan to build one, please register as soon as possible. (https://www.brattleboromuseum.org/2020/11/10/call-for-entries-artful-ice-shanties-design-build-competition/)

Event Details

The Artful Ice Shanties Design-Build Competition is a celebration of the artistic talent and creative ingenuity of our region as well as the long history and tradition of ice fishing at the Retreat Meadows. Presented by the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center and Retreat Farm in connection with ICE SHANTIES: FISHING, PEOPLE & CULTURE, and ERIK HOFFNER: ICE VISIONS, this inaugural event is a timely observance of the delightful possibilities of winter, at a time when being outdoors is safest.

The Artful Ice Shanties will be displayed at Retreat Farm February 13-28. Most of the shanties will be displayed on solid ground in front of Retreat Farm, with a few placed on the Retreat Meadows ice.

Your ice shanty can be traditional or conceptual, functional or wacky, permanent or ephemeral (as long as it can withstand the elements for two weeks!), but it must be in some way artful. We encourage the use of recycled, repurposed, or donated materials, but new materials are certainly permitted.

Join us on Sunday, February 14, for a wintry, wonderful outdoor Awards Ceremony where a panel of local judges will give out an array of awards for ice shanties with notably artistic, inventive, or silly qualities.

ADMISSION: Free. Space for ice shanties is limited, so if you plan to build one, please register as soon as possible. (https://www.brattleboromuseum.org/2020/11/10/call-for-entries-artful-ice-shanties-design-build-competition/)

Event Details

The Brattleboro Winter Farmers’ Market is home to a diverse mix of market vendors bringing local farm produce, meats, syrup, fresh baked goods, local cheeses, fruits, cider, pickles, preserves, handmade soaps and artisan crafts. Pre-COVID19 delicious lunch menus and live music rounded out our weekly market experience but that is not happening this season.

We have a lean but mighty market in store for you this season. We’ll have half the number of vendors usually found at our market, and thus we’ll be well spread out around the space, allowing for plenty of social distance! You might even find a few hardy souls set up to serve you just outside our door.

Our market’s operation mode for this season will be “Shop ‘N Go” so sadly that means no cafe’ space to gather with friends, no live music, and a closed Kid’s Room. But, you will still find a wide variety of all things local – produce, greens, fruits, meats, syrup, honey, fresh baked goods, preserves, tea blends, coffee, handmade soap and more!

Masks are required, and as we will be limiting the number of customers in the market at one time to allow everoyone adequate space, we encourage you to shop alone or in twos, and when possible, leave the little ones at home.
