SUMMARY:Ethical-izing Holiday Celebrations Workshop Series (Online)
DESCRIPTION:How can we celebrate holidays without setting aside our values around sustainability\, waste\, food\, commercialism\, and competition? \nThis three-part workshop series offers practical ways to rethink familiar celebrations with greater ethical intention. Participants will explore creative approaches to planning holidays with more integrity\, sustainability\, and joy. \nThe series is led by Audrey Kindred\, AEU Leader in Training and Children\, Youth\, and Family program leader at the New York Society for Ethical Culture\, and Anne Klaeysen\, Leader Emerita of the New York Society for Ethical Culture and former Leader of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. \nWorkshops will meet on Zoom on the first Wednesday of October\, November\, and December\, beginning Wednesday\, October 7 at 7 p.m. ET. \nCourse Purpose and Description\nCourse Description: Ethical humans face annual cycles of celebration; we are called upon to Re-psyche-all! How many celebrations have you participated in where you have suspended and compromised your values (about sustainability\, about plastic usage\, about trash and recycling\, about health and food\, about commercialism and competition) for “just this one day” in order to meet the demands of the moment and maximize celebratory impact? This monthly workshop series offers some guidance and solutions. It offers concrete tools to plan for the month ahead with integrity and joy\, by reinvigorating and reinventing popular holidays with ethical creativity and consciousness. \nInstructors\nAudrey Kindred is currently an AEU leader in training. She runs Children\, Youth\, family programming at the New York Society for Ethical Culture and presides over the National Ethical Service. She has been involved with Ethical Culture for about 25 years. Fun fact for October: Audrey (awe-tree) has dressed up as many things\, including Mermaids\, the element of water\, Raggedy Andy\, the Queen of rock ‘n’ roll (with recycled records and album covers)\, and of course… A mighty tree. \nAnne Klaeysen is Leader Emerita of the NY Society for Ethical Culture and former Leader of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. She also served as Humanist chaplain at Columbia and New York Universities. Anne holds a Doctor of Ministry degree in pastoral care and counseling from Hebrew Union College and master’s degrees in business from NYU and German from SUNY Albany.
