SUMMARY:Speaking of Science with Laura McKenna: 'The Autism Learning Curve: The Lifelong Challenges of Raising a Child with Autism' (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Free online! \nOur monthly online science series continues with autism consultant Laura McKenna. \nLaura McKenna\, Ph.D.\, is a consultant who works with families at different stages of their children’s lives—from understanding a new diagnosis and finding appropriate therapies to navigating schools\, college\, government benefits\, and the transition to adulthood. \nOne of the things she’s learned from this work is that parents face a continual learning curve. Just when they become experts at one system\, their child enters a new stage of life\, and they have to master an entirely new set of professionals\, terminology\, bureaucracies\, and decisions. Her talk will look at that lifelong process\, the enormous amount of expertise we expect parents to acquire along the way\, and what we could do as a society to make these systems easier to navigate. \nHer goal is to raise awareness about these challenges so that\, eventually\, families won’t need people like her to help them navigate them. In other words\, she’d be delighted to put myself out of a job. \n>>> Zoom RSVP Link TBA \nAbout Laura McKenna\nLaura McKenna\, PhD\, is the founder of McKenna Autism Consulting and Autism College Connection. A former college professor\, writer\, and Independent Educational Consultant\, she works with families of autistic and neurodivergent children and young adults to navigate therapies\, education\, college\, government benefits\, and adult services. Her work focuses on helping families understand complicated systems and make informed decisions at each stage of their child’s life.

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.

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.
