Activities will include poetry and spoken word performances\, conversation and food sharing\, and a creative writing activity. This event will be hosted at El Colegio – a Chicano-Latino South Minneapolis High School. \nRegistration\nThis event is open to anyone from middle school age through adult. \nWhile there is no cost to attend\, registration is requested. \nSpace is limited to 50 participants. \nK-12 educators will receive 2 clock hours. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Cloud and ONLINE - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
DESCRIPTION:Engage in lively thought-provoking conversations on what it means to live a virtuous life. There are numerous reasons the insights of ancient philosophers such as Epicurus\, Confucius\, and Aristotle have stood the test of time. \n  \n“Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.” Epicurus \n“To know what you know and what you do not know is the mark of one who knows.” Confucius \n“Happiness is an activity in accordance with virtue.” Aristotle \n  \nWhat they have to offer continues to remain instructive today. In this four-session course\, we will examine selections of text from these ancient figures\, seeking not only to evaluate their claims\, but also inquiring how we might apply their lessons to our lives today. \nThis course will be led by John Houston\, longtime philosophy professor (most recently at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University) and instructor with Wisdom’s Edge\, a nonprofit organization committed to bringing philosophy to all. \nSchedule\nJuly 21\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nJuly 28\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 4\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 11\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST \n*$40 is the fee for all four sessions. \n \nParticipants are expected to attend all four sessions. \nRegistration\nWhile all are welcome to participate\, we especially encourage participation from those 55+\, as we value the rich history of life experiences to relate to the material and to other individuals in the class. For those 55+\, register with promo code MHC55 for a discount of $15. \nWe are offering this course in collaboration with the Whitney Senior Center in St. Cloud. One doesn’t need to be a member of or associated with Whitney to join. Class participants have the option of joining from Zoom or in-person at the Whitney Senior Center.

SUMMARY:St. Paul – Telling My Story!
DESCRIPTION:This full day writing retreat is open to all members of the Black community\, writers at all levels and nonwriters alike. After a year and a half of conversations with 16 local writers from our Minnesota literary community\, including African Caribbean\, African American\, and those from multiethnic parentage as well as from the continent of Africa\, the Minnesota Black Publishing Arts Collaborative would like to engage the Black community in the process of naming strength and finding healing through writing. This opportunity will help provide a safe and comfortable space to start the writing process\, remove some of the barriers of confidence\, and provide a roadmap on where or how to start.   \nTo make the writing process accessible and enjoyable\, Ebony Adedayo (founder of the Aya Collective\, a space that centers the expertise and experience of Black women\, and program manager at the Jan Serie Center for Scholarship and Teaching at Macalester College) and Pamela Fletcher Bush (executive director of Saint Paul Almanac) will gently lead workshop participants in guided writing exercises and discussion that will demonstrate the love for writing and how it can be used as a tool.   \nBecause we know that stories humanize us\, the workshop will feature writers T. Aaron Cisco and Junauda Petrus-Nasah\, who will read their works to illustrate how using one’s unique voice to tell personal stories brings necessary healing. They have used the pen to help them process and heal from significant events that have interrupted and or impacted their lives.  \nThis writing retreat is being offered by the Minnesota Black Publishing Arts Collaborative in collaboration with the Minnesota Humanities Center.   \nContinental breakfast and lunch are included. A journal will be provided. Registration will be limited to 40 participants.  \nRegistration\nYou are welcome to register using promo code COMMUNITY to waive the fee if you wish. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nRegistration Deadline Date: Saturday\, April 16\, 2022 \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS OFFERING HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:The Great Northern Festival – Learning from Place: Bdote
DESCRIPTION:Image detail is from the Minneapolis (Village of Many Lakes) & St Paul (Village along the White Cliffs) map created by artist Marlena Myles. \nLearning from Place: Bdote is an immersive experience offered by the Minnesota Humanities Center that invites participants to visit\, inhabit\, and expand their understanding of Twin Cities sites with deep significance to Dakota people. Participants learn from Dakota community members to reconsider their relationship to land\, water\, sky\, and all life—including other humans—through stories and perspectives that are often left out of our state’s history. \nBdote is a Dakota word that generally means “where two waters come together.” The bdote where Ȟaȟáwakpa (Mississippi River) and the Mnísota Wakpá (Minnesota River) come together is central to Dakota spirituality and history. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding about Dakota people’s relationship to the place we now call Minnesota and will be encouraged to put newfound knowledge to action and further learning. \nEvent Content Leads\nRamona Kitto Stately is an enrolled member of the Santee Sioux Nation. Her educational background includes a BA in Dakota Art and Culture\, and a MAE-Teacher Leadership. She worked in Indian Education for the Osseo Area School District 2005-2020 and has been the Chairperson of the Minnesota Indian Education Association since 2018. Currently she serves as the Project Director of We Are Still Here MN. \nEthan Neerdaels\, Bdewakantunwan Dakota\, is a graduate of the University of Minnesota – American Indian Studies/Dakota Language programs. He currently teaches the Dakota language at Augsburg University\, and co-directs the Indian Education program at Osseo Area Schools. He also serves as the Executive Director of Dakhóta Iápi Okhódakičhiye\, a 501c3 dedicated to reversing the trend of language loss and raising future generations of Dakota speakers. \nMore Event Details\nThis event will primarily be outdoors so dress accordingly. \nA Minnesota state parks vehicle permit is required (one-day permit is $7). \nMore detailed information will be sent to all registrants during the week of January 24. \nThis event is offered in partnership with The Great Northern as part of its 2022 festival. \nRegistration\nK-12 educators will receive 2 clock hours. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT AND WAITLIST HAVE CLOSED
