Summer Opportunities

It’s not too early to plan for summer! Check out these opportunities, updated weekly:

Fellowship Applications Invited: Spend the month of July in New York working on a research or writing project of your choice with access to libraries and research facilities at Columbia University, Union, Auburn, and Jewish Theological Seminaries. Since 1983, CrossCurrents has sponsored the research colloquium because we want to have an impact not only on how religion is taught and studied, but also on the way it influences events that touch us all. To that end we invite applications for a fellowship that will allow you to spend a month at our expense in a collaborative learning community, diverse in race, age, gender, religion and intellectual discipline working on a project of your design. The successful applicant will have a capacity for integrating his or her faith tradition with the life of the mind, and will outline a project that will be of interest to those outside his or her area of academic specialization or religious tradition. For further information about the Colloquium:<http://www.aril.org/colloquium.htm>http://www.aril.org/colloquium.htm
or call, Charles Henderson, 212-870-2544 or email: colloquium@crosscurrents.org>colloquium@crosscurrents.org.

YouthWorks Summer Program: YouthWorks, a program that organizes and leads mission experiences for teenagers in the US, Canada, and Mexico.  They need Site Directors to supervise staff, and Site Staff for various staff roles. The program runs from May 23 through August 7.  For more information, check out the Blue Summer Opportunities Notebook outside Dean Peterson's office, or visit the website, www.youthworks.com.

Art & Soul Workshop: Process Painting as a Path to the Holy. Saturday, February 26, 1:00-4:30 PM, at Artist’s Crossing Hamden. Materials provided. Facilitated by Studio Artist and Spiritual Director, Harriet Carew, M.Div., this workshop will offer an opportunity to explore "process painting" as a way to make soul art.  The painting method focuses on an intuitive, non-verbal level by inviting images to emerge from our unconscious. Through movement and music, participants will be led to the right side of the brain.  Here, using color, line and form, paintings will be created in oil pastels that become the locus of individual meditation. The playfulness and integration of new aspects of ourselves can lead to sacred and authentic dialogue with the God of our understanding as well as stretch our capacity to companion others. Wear comfortable clothes. Harriet Carew was trained as a Spiritual Director at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology and is a former art teacher. Artist's Crossing is located next to Grace and St. Peter's Episcopal Church at 2927 Dixwell Avenue in Hamden. Please direct questions to and register by Wednesday, Feb. 23 by contacting Jackie Corning: Jacqueline.Corning@yale.edu or 432-9285. Brought to you by the Annand Program for Spiritual Formation

Black Feminist Coalition at Yale: For the past year, a group of black women have gathered in each other’s homes and built a community of sisterhood and support.  Sister Space-- The Black Feminist Coalition at Yale has been a place to practice feminism, foster relationships and build trust.  We are an amalgam of theories, disciplines, and opinions and our monthly meetings are as lively and intellectually engaging as they are needful for the group. On Friday, February 25th, we will open our doors once again for membership in the hopes that the intimate world we have created can expand and include more black women in search of what we are offering--a place to meet once a month to consider black women's lives, arts, histories, thoughts, and representations, to discuss issues of political and personal import, and to support one another's scholarly and professional endeavors. The first anniversary meeting of the Black Feminist Coalition will take place at 6 p.m. on Friday, February 25th at the home of Kimberly Brown.  Please R.S.V.P. via email: kimberly.j.brown@yale.edu  by February 20th if you plan to attend.
