This engaging two-hour experience offers a dynamic look at the major movements that reshaped the visual arts in the 20th century. From the bold colors of Fauvism to the fractured perspectives of Cubism, the dreamlike symbols of Surrealism, and the raw energy of Abstract Expressionism, we’ll explore how artists reimagined the possibilities of painting, sculpture, and the very definition of art. We’ll trace the story from the experimental fervor of early modernists like Henri Matisse and Joan Miró in Europe, to the postwar transformations in New York, where artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler, and Alma Thomas brought new vision, scale, and emotion to abstraction. This tour offers an insightful introduction to the artistic revolutions of the last century—highlighting how both well-known and trailblazing voices shaped the modern art canon. Guests are welcome! You’re encouraged to bring friends or family, regardless of alumni affiliation. Space is limited to 15 participants—advance registration required. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This tour requires a minimum of 4 participants to take place. If the minimum is not met, ticket holders will be notified 24 hours in advance and will receive a full refund. .......................................................................................................................

      Add to Calendar 2025-09-03T12:00:00 2025-09-03T13:30:00 America/New_York Yale Youth Ministry Institute: Addressing Childhood Trauma with Liberation Psychology and Theology with Dr. Thema Bryant Trauma, ranging from interpersonal to intergenerational, can create severe dysregulation and psychic suffering. Trauma may disrupt the nervous system, identity, affect regulation, and relationship schemas. Traumatic events can also disconnect survivors from the various aspects of themselves as well as their community. Liberation psychology and theology can awaken conceptualizations and frameworks that center reclamation as a form of holistic healing and empowerment for child trauma survivors. While much of the individually-centered trauma literature focuses on skills-based psycho-education and cognitive-behavioral coping strategies, there has traditionally been less, although growing, attention paid to the diverse culturally-grounded, socio-political pathways for survivors to reclaim themselves. This presentation explores pathways that can benefit the trauma recovery process of children, especially for marginalized survivors. The trauma and healing-informed liberation pathways which emerge from the literature are culture as medicine, community support, spirituality and religiosity, expressive arts, and resistance. A more inclusive view of trauma and trauma recovery can both heal and empower individuals and society as a whole. false

Drawing on national research, I will highlight how parents' own religious upbringings, parenting styles, and relationships with congregational life shape their efforts to pass on faith to their children. We’ll examine how factors like emotional warmth, consistent engagement, and clear expectations—hallmarks of an authoritative parenting style—can enhance religious transmission. I’ll also discuss the practical and cultural reasons parents choose their congregations, what they hope those communities will provide (e.g., education, enjoyment, tradition), and how congregations can serve as trusted partners. The session aims to equip faith communities with insights to more intentionally and effectively support the spiritual formation of young children through the caregivers who guide them. false
