Mandala Blessings Fine Art Exhibit: Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Art Gallery (Upstairs)
More114 S. Main St., Ann Arbor, MI, Ann Arbor
Returning from NYC to her roots in Ann Arbor, where she used to hang out at Crazy Wisdom as a U of M student, this is the first time Ruthie is offering a collection of original works of fine art for the general public. With over 25 years of experience creating hundreds of intuitive personal mandala paintings worldwide, this exhibit explores collective longing around themes of compassion for ourselves and others, preserving ecology, highlighting spiritual wisdom, and revealing hidden ancestral gifts. Ruthie is humbled by her role as a translator between this world and the unseen world, dedicated to the preservation, protection, illumination and evolution of our sacred circle.
“The web of life both cradles us and calls us to weave it further.”
—Joanna MacyJoin us for mandala meditations, music, gentle movement, and nourishing refreshments to open and seal the circle of Ruthie’s December gallery exhibit. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you!

“Healthy Aging: Caring for Loved Ones and Yourself”: U-M Dpt. of Psychiatry
Morewebinar
What does it mean to age in a healthy way? Join us as experts from the Michigan Medicine Department of Psychiatry discuss what healthy aging really means and what it can look like in real life. They will break down the unique concerns older adults face as they age, including some of the barriers—expected and unexpected—that can change how we move through the world. Our speakers will share what we know about dementia prevention, as well as how to care for those in our lives already experiencing dementia. They will share resources all of us can use as we age and as we care for the older adults around us who need extra support.
Whether you are caring for an aging relative or simply want to better understand how to care for yourself as you grow older, this webinar will provide helpful education, resources, and tips you can integrate into your daily life. The event will include a Q&A with our experts, so please bring along your questions about aging and caregiving.
Speakers:
Donovan Maust, M.D., M.S., Williard C. Blackney Jr. and Geraldine LaTendresse Blackney Research Professor of Geriatric Psychiatry
Courtney Polenick, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Social Work
