Workshop: The Art of Pysanky (Ukrainian Decorated Eggs)
Saturday, April 9th, 2022 at The Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (10 Vernon St, Brattleboro, VT 05301). 1:30pm.
Face masks required inside the building. Admission: $55, includes materials ($50 for BMAC Members). Space is limited and registration is required: Register online or call 802-257-0124 x101.
Acclaimed Pysanky artist and instructor Jenny Santa Maria leads a hands-on, in-person workshop in the traditional Ukrainian folk art of egg decoration.
Pysanky technique is similar to batik: Patterns are drawn on an egg with hot beeswax, which protects covered areas from subsequent applications of colored dyes. When the wax is removed, a multi-colored pattern is revealed. The finished product, with its intricate designs and symbols, belies the meditative process involved. The patience and concentration required to complete a single egg is rewarded when the wax is taken off.
This two-hour workshop will cover the history and traditions surrounding Pysanky, how to make your own egg, and an independent practice session. The instructor will provide a variety of eggs, many hard-to-find traditional and non-traditional colored dyes, and tools. Participants will leave with a beautiful colored egg. Ages 16 and up, no experience necessary.

To join the Zoom meeting go to https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84518553496?pwd=NldqT093NWxxUWxIVWR2N0V5NkQ4UT09
Tim says:
The United States is in a crisis of two nations. Economic instability, racial reckoning, a lingering pandemic and rising authoritarianism divide Americans by a gulf not experienced since the Civil War.
Underlying this disunion are conflicting concepts of what democracy actually is or should be. The old consensus is crumbling. Today for some, physically attacking the nation’s capitol makes sense, for others, making it harder for people to vote is a democratic act.
On the other hand many still believe in citizen responsibility in the political process. For these people government and community organizing for social justice is what democracy looks like.
Our future can and will be charted by how we conceptualize democracy itself. Understanding, expanding and sustaining democracy can perhaps lead to a bridging of this not so grand canyon of national divide.
This presentation focuses on the nature of democracy and offers a re conceptualization of this greatest of human inventions.
Tim Kipp is a retired history and political science teacher of 39 years and a political activist since the 1960s.

Taking Steps Brattleboro, a program of Brattleboro Area Hospice is offering Advance Care Planning Weekly Zoom Information Sessions on Wednesdays from 10am-11am.
If you are interested in attending the Zoom info session, or want more information about Advance Care Planning, please contact Ruth Nangeroni, Advance Care Planning Program Coordinator at 802-257-0775 ext 101 or [email protected].
Advance care planning ensures that your loved ones and health professionals know what you want in a medical emergency when you are unable to speak for yourself. It’s a process of creating a written health care plan(advance directive) that tells others what you would want if you couldn’t tell them yourself.
Advance Care Planning includes discussing choices about end-of-life (EOL) care with your medical provider, family and others. It involves choosing and educating your Health Care Agent and making informed decisions to complete an Advance Directive. Join us and learn more. Find out if adding a COVID-19 or Dementia provision would be beneficial to include or add to a previously completed Advance Directive.
Brattleboro Area Hospice (BAH) is an independent, non-profit organization that provides non-medical support to dying and grieving community members and volunteer-staffed assistance with Advance Care Planning. BAH is 100% locally funded, and provides services free of charge. Services are available to anyone living in southeastern Vermont or bordering New Hampshire towns.
Advance Care Planning: It’s how people care for one another.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS AND RESOURCES
HEART PROGRAM AT OUT IN THE OPEN
My name is Jake McBride (he/him) and I am the Health Justice Organizer at Out in the Open. I am coming to you today with some good news! This week, Out in the Open will be publicly announcing our new HEART (Health Equity & Access for Rural TLGBQ+) Program, formerly known throughout the planning process as the Health Buddy Program.
This program, made possible by funding and support from Windham County’s Consortium on Substance Use (COSU), aims to address common healthcare barriers faced by TLGBQ+ (Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Queer) people living in and/or receiving care in Windham County, Vermont. A team of trained volunteers will work alongside community members as Essential Support People to ensure access to safe and supportive healthcare. Our goal is for participants to feel supported while remaining in control of their own health decisions.
We are looking forward to working in partnership with providers to ensure the needs of our community members are met. The program is now accepting volunteer applications and will begin providing support to community members in early May. Please share the good news and learn more about the HEART Program through our website or the attached PDF. Thank you for your support!
Best Regards,
