"Dancing With Our Shadows"

Crossings: A Center for the Healing Traditions

Saturday, December 12, 2009
2:30 – 5:30 pm

Dancing With Our Shadows
Shadows are those parts of ourselves that are hidden, underdeveloped and
often unacknowledged. Shadows can be heavy or light--they can take the form
of a hidden talent or an unexpected way of being in the world that comes as
a surprise to the self with which you are familiar.
Each of us has many shadows with which we can become better acquainted. In
our time together, we will create a framework to bring these “shadow” parts
into focus through simple circle dances, art, and writings. Dances, art,
and writing are accessible to all--no special knowledge or skills are
needed! Our philosophy of teaching is that “there are no mistakes, only
variations.” All dances will be taught.
Evelyn Torton Beck, Ph.D., Professor Emerita of Women’s Studies at the
University of Maryland, is an experienced dancer who aims to connect mind,
body, and spirit through the practice of sacred circle dance and
meditation. (etb@umd.edu)
Judith Walton, Ph.D., has been teaching sacred circle dance for more
than 15 years and uses the power of the dance with diverse groups to achieve
integration and wholeness. jwaltondc@yahoo.com
Merry Urbia, MA, ATR-BC, works as an expressive arts therapist through
Georgetown University Hospital and community-based programs in DC and MD and
co-leads seasonal rituals. (merrlynnu@yahoo.com)

Wanted: Imaginative works of our community children
Annual Children's Issue
Every year The Connection Newspapers dedicates one issue entirely to the imaginative works of our community children and teenagers. We publish artwork, essays, creative writing, opinion pieces, short stories and photographs. Many local schools will be participating and submitting entries as a group. If a child or teenager in your school would like to participate, please provide the submissions no later than Friday, Dec. 4. The issue will be published Dec. 24.
If you have any questions, please call your local editor at 703-778-9416. Submissions can be sent to The Connection, 1606 King St., Alexandria, VA 22314. Submissions can also be dropped off or, by prior arrangement, picked up by someone in our office. Submissions will be returned upon request. Send e-mail submissions to moconnell@connectionnewspapers.com.
Some suggestions:
* Drawings or paintings or photographs of your family, friends, pets or some favorite activity. We prefer art submitted on letter-sized paper.
* Short answers (50 to 100 words) to some of the following questions: If you could give your parents any gift that didn't cost money what would that gift be? What are you most looking forward to in the upcoming year? What is one thing that you would change about school? What do you want to be when you grow up? What is your favorite animal? What is your favorite toy? What makes a good parent? What makes a good friend? What is the best or worst thing that ever happened to you? What is the best gift you've ever given? Ever received?
* Your opinion (50 to 100 words) about traffic, sports, restaurants, video games, toys, trends, etc.
* Poetry or other creative writing.In anticipation of a few questions, here are some answers about the 2009 Connection Children's issue:
WHAT SIZE SHOULD THE ARTWORK BE?
We do accept larger pieces of artwork — even sculptures. If you can scan or photograph artwork at school and send us a disc, that works best. However, we'd be happy to scan or photograph anything that you submit.
WILL EVERY PIECE OF ARTWORK AND WRITING THAT I SUBMIT APPEAR IN THE CHILDREN'S ISSUE?
No. Each area that an edition of the Connection covers contains many schools. There will not be enough room in the newspaper to have every submission published. However, we try our best to see that every school that submits something is evenly represented.
WILL THE ARTWORK BE PRINTED IN COLOR?
The size of the paper dictates how many four-color pages will be available. The most colorful artwork will appear on the color pages. Some color pieces will be printed in black-and-white and most of the written material will appear on B&W pages.
HOW MANY PIECES OF ARTWORK SHOULD I SUBMIT?
Whatever you think is a fair representation, keeping in mind that not everything you submit will appear. Each school should aim at around 10-20 pieces of artwork.
WHAT ABOUT WRITING - ESSAYS AND POEMS?
You can submit a greater number of poems and essays than artwork, provided that they are not that lengthy. Paragraph-long essays on a single topic (favorite animal, best present, favorite toy) by a whole class work well. If you can possibly have this material typed onto a disc, it would be a huge help to us.
PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO WORK SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY
Schools that submit material either by e-mail or on disk, will be processed first. This will increase the likelihood of those submissions appearing in the Connection. This is the first year that we have implemented this rule, but we felt it necessary given the great number of submissions that we receive, both in student artwork and writing.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING ARTWORK DIGITALLY
Each image should be scanned and saved as a JPG (200-300 dpi). The JPG should be named for the artist (use full name please) and grade level. If submitting multiple JPGs, include a list of the images, identifying the students and grades, in a Word Document. Send the JPGS and Word Document to moconnell@connectionnewspapers.com. You can also put the submission on a disc and mail them to the address below or have them picked up.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING WRITING DIGITALLY
Save student writing to a Word Document. Members of the same class can put their writings in the same document. Clearly label each essay or poem with the student’s name and grade level. You can submit multiple documents, but please try to combine classrooms into single documents, separating each essay or poem by two spaces (don’t use page breaks) within the same document. Send the Word Document to moconnell@connectionnewspapers.com. You can also put the submission on a disc and mail them to the address below or have them picked up.
DO I REALLY HAVE TO DRIVE OUT TO MCLEAN TO DROP OFF THIS MATERIAL?
No. You can send it to us by e-mail, fax or mail (listed below). Or, for larger pieces of artwork, we can arrange to have a Connection staff member pick up and drop off the material.
WHEN WILL THE SUBMISSIONS BE RETURNED?
We will return the artwork and writing to the school office in January 2009.

Children's Public Art Project at Dulles Airport
HELLO AND WELCOME!
Greetings to International Travelers
From Children of Maryland, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia
A Public Art Project for Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority
Dulles International Airport Concourse C
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Arts Program is seeking collaborations with nine public schools in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia to create a public art project for installation at Dulles International Airport, fall 2010.
The project, HELLO AND WELCOME! is an arts education-based permanent art project developed by the Airports Authority Arts Program for students, grades K through 12. The project will consist of a large-scale modular display of portraits created by students to welcome international travelers to the United States. HELLO AND WELCOME! will be installed in the Federal Inspections Services area of Concourse C, where many international travelers are first received at Dulles Airport.
The Airports Authority Arts Program has selected a project artist to work with classroom/art teachers in three schools in each jurisdiction, to create student portraits for the project. Teachers and the project artist will determine the in-class teaching schedule. The Arts Program will supply participating schools with pastels and drawing paper to be used for the project. The portraits to be included in the project will be fabricated into a durable material for permanent installation. The original portraits may be hung, with credit to the students, in other public areas of the Airports Authority.
Working with the project artist and their classroom teacher, students will learn the art of portraiture using pastels. Each student is expected to create a smiling front-view self-portrait that captures his/her unique personality. Students may also team with another classmate to create portraits of each other. The project artist and teachers will also ask participating students to write, in their own handwriting, the words, “Hello” and “Welcome.” The handwritten words will be fabricated and incorporated into the overall display design. A student may write the words in his/her native language, if he/she chooses. The project artist and teachers may arrange a field-trip to the Airport to help students appreciate the significance of their involvement in the project.
Teachers/school administrators may apply for participation in the project which starts in the second semester of the 2009/2010 school year. One classroom (a maximum of 30 students) from nine schools, three from each jurisdiction, will be selected to participate in the project. Schools will be selected based on a) how the project will benefit students, teachers and the schools; b) the school’s ability to coordinate and integrate the project and c) the school’s history of collaborations.
Schools interested in applying to participate in the project must submit a completed application form with the required narrative.

Gene D Cohen, M.D., Ph.D Obituary
Gene D Cohen, M.D., Ph.D Obituary
written by Alex Cohen
Dr. Gene D. Cohen, 65, geriatric psychiatrist and health care pioneer, died
peacefully at his Kensington, MD home surrounded by his loving family and
friends after a brave, 14 year fight against prostate cancer.
Dr. Cohen’s professional career was dedicated to the field of aging and
geriatrics long before the field even existed. After graduating from
Harvard College and Georgetown University School of Medicine, Dr. Cohen
began shaping the field of geriatrics through his work at the National
Institute of Mental Health in the early 1970’s. Here he was the first
chief of the Center on Aging and Director of the Program on Aging. At that
time, this was the first federally supported national center on mental
health and aging established internationally. When Dr. Cohen arrived only
one specialty program in geriatric psychiatry existed and when he left there
were dozens. Also during these early years at NIMH, Dr. Cohen took interest
in minorities—encouraging and supporting research on the mental health of
the impoverished and homeless and led the charge to change Medicare to allow
for reimbursement of mental health services (beyond the original annual $250
limit). Dr. Cohen continued his commitment to biological, psychological and
social issues in geriatric medicine at the National Institute on Aging at
the National Institutes of Health where he served as Acting Director and
helped grow the institute budget into the $100’s of millions and catapult
the field of aging into the global spotlight. During Dr. Cohen’s tenure,
NIA grew at the greatest rate of all the Institutes at NIH.
Dr. Cohen’s contributions to geriatric medicine are limitless. He authored
over 150 publications in the field of aging including several edited text
books and individually authored books including, The Creative Age: Awakening
the Human Potential in the Second Half of Life published in 2000 and most
recently, The Mature Mind: The Positive Power of the Aging Brain. The
former is widely considered the groundbreaking book on creativity and
aging—effectively launching this new field within geriatrics.
Additionally, Dr. Cohen was a founding member of both the American
Psychiatric Association Council on Aging as well as its Chair and the
American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry in addition to being the
founding editor for both of the leading Journals in geriatric
psychiatry—International Psychogeriatrics and the American Journal of
Geriatric Psychiatry. Dr. Cohen’s research and work contributed
significantly to the AARP’s growing focus on mental health and aging and
their evolving policy direction in this regard.
Since 1994, Dr. Cohen has acted as the first director of the Center on
Aging, Health & Humanities at George Washington University where he held the
positions of Professor of Health Care Sciences and Professor of Psychiatry
and Behavioral Sciences. His recent work and research focused primarily on
creativity and the potential of older adults including a landmark
longitudinal study (principally funded by the National Endowment for the
Arts) proving that engagement in professionally conducted arts programs by
older adults led to significant health benefits. As he did in the 1970’s,
Dr. Cohen led this growing field and now, through a close partnership with
The National Center for Creative Aging which has newly affiliated with the
Center he founded at George Washington University, his work will continue to
flourish and evolve in this dynamic field of geriatrics--creativity and
aging.
Dr. Cohen’s professional interests were also reflected in his personal life
and hobbies. As a blossoming game inventor after age 50 and continuing
through to the end of his life, Dr. Cohen showed first hand that creativity
and untapped potential are possible for older adults. His most recent game,
Making Memories Together, is one that assists families and caregivers of
Alzheimer’s disease patients.
Throughout Dr. Cohen’s career he was highly respected for his vision,
generosity and absolute commitment to the field of aging and improving the
health of older persons. Dr. Cohen’s contribution as a scholar, physician,
educator and pioneer in the field of geriatric medicine will resonate for
many generations to come.
Dr. Cohen leaves behind a wife, Wendy Miller, and daughter, Eliana
Miller-Cohen, both of Kensington, MD, brother Joel Cohen of Hayward, CA,
son, Alex Cohen and daughter-in-law Kate Cohen, both of Lincolnville, ME and
four grandchildren, Ruby, Lucy, Ethan, and Bennett Cohen.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00AM, Monday November 9th at Temple
Emanuel, 10101 Connecticut Avenue, Kensington, MD 20895.
301-942-2000 301-942-2000. A private burial service will follow.
Shiva will be held at the family home November 9th from 8:00PM-9:30PM and
November 10th and 11th from 6:00PM-8:00PM.
