Insist that to look death in the face\, ritually and rep eatedly\, is how one kisses life on the lips. This is magic understood pla inly: not sleight of hand\, but the discipline of transformation\, and rel igion in its most degraded form. \nThe sacred\, in this view\, is not piet y but rupture: sacrifice\, ecstasy\, laughter\, daemonic entities\, and th e corpse. Death here is not simply a subject but a method. Art becomes the site where the restricted economy of production and survival is deliberat ely breached\, where a sovereign act of wasting oneself – bleeding\, pra ying\, dancing\, carving toward no useful end – recovers a continuity be tween beings that ordinary\, bounded selfhood forecloses. The works gather ed here stage exactly this breach: each refuses the discreteness the self is supposed to maintain\, offering itself instead as a willful expenditure \, a controlled burn of the prairie’s boundary – on the border where t he living meet the dead. \nBeneath that scorched wound runs a river. Death is not an event waiting at the end of a life but a force already coursing through it. A pure differentiation\, the self already a multiplicity bein g continuously undone and reassembled beneath its own name. This current t reats the human not as a form to be preserved but as a threshold to be lau ghed at\, dissolved\, desire and death fused into a single accelerant burn ing through identity toward what is on the other side. This exhibition’s icons are not meditations on mortality\, they are remnants of mortality ’s discharge\, operations and apparatuses built by hand\, and by body\, to run the current of death through the self on purpose – not to master it\, but to see\, however briefly\, who or what rears its head from beneat h the surface. \n  \nOpening reception:\nAugust 7\, 2026\n5-8pm \n  \nCX W hours with the guest curator:\nSeptember 17\, 2026\n5:00 – 8:00 pm \nT his exhibition runs through September 25\, 2026. \n******Guest curated by Ryan M.

Through a structured\, experiential approach\, participants learn to comm unicate ethically and effectively with Spanish-speaking clients across div erse helping contexts. The curriculum emphasizes communication for safety\ , alliance-building\, and meaning-making rather than grammatical perfectio n\, aligning language use with core therapeutic competencies (Egan\, 2018) . By integrating language learning with the three stages of Egan’s model —Exploration\, Understanding\, and Action—participants strengthen thei r ability to support client agency\, foster therapeutic alliance\, and tra nslate insight into concrete steps. \nParticipants develop Spanish for clo sing sessions with care: summarizing progress\, confirming next steps\, an d setting follow-up plans. The session emphasizes continuity of care and c lient empowerment.  \nWe practice gentle endings that protect dignity—e specially after heavy material—using language that includes gratitude\, hope\, and realistic planning. Participants learn how to invite final ques tions and confirm understanding.  \nZoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.  \nThis program\, when attended in its entirety\, offers 3.0 CEs for Psychologists\, 3.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 3.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs\, L PSWs\, and LMFTs\, or 3.0 NBCC Clock Hours.

In the making of their new album\, Mind\, Man\, Medicine\, Alabama-bred siblings Laura Rogers and Lydia Slagle found their songwriting transformed by a newfound sense of self-reliance and equanimity\, threading their lyr ics with hard-won insight into the complexities of motherhood\, commitment \, compassion\, and self-preservation in an endlessly chaotic world. Cente red on a kaleidoscopic sound that boldly blurs the edges of country-folk\, the duos fifth full-length ultimately confronts many of modern lifes hars hest challenges while leading the listener toward a more open-hearted stat e of mind.In our previous records there was a feeling that we had somethin g to prove\, but now were leaning toward a place of peaceful acceptance an d trying to stay immersed in the present\, says Slagle\, noting that their shared experience in parenting young children greatly informed that shift in perspective. There are definitely still moments of frustration and ang er on this album\, but theres also a little more light\, Rogers adds. I th ink a lot of that came from getting older\, and from letting go of the pre ssure we put on ourselves in the past. We finally reached the point of say ing\, Lets just write the songs honestly as we can\, and trust that theyll reach whoever theyre meant to reach.The follow-up to Saturn Returntheir 2 020 Grammy-nominated LP co-produced by Brandi Carlile and lavishly praised by the likes of Rolling StoneMind\, Man\, Medicine finds The Secret Siste rs co-producing alongside Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes\, St. Paul On Saturn Return wed gotten much more confident as far as directing the sound of the record and knowing how to capture our voices in the most honest way\, so it felt like the right time for our first foray into production\, says Rog ers. The latest in a series of critically lauded releases\, the album came to life at FAME Studios (the historic spot in their hometown of Muscle Sh oals) and at Sun Drop Sound in nearby Florence\, with contributions from s uch esteemed musicians as Alabama Shakes bassist Zac Cockrell and legendar y multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell (Paul Simon\, Willie Nelson\, Levon Helm).Referring to The Secret Sisters latest chapter as one where we seek \, savor\, and settle\, the duo lifted the title to Mind\, Man\, Medicine from a lyric in Same Water: a gorgeously bluesy meditation on the search f or healing in a profoundly troubled world\, channeling both weariness and empathy with soulful conviction. Theres a line in Same Water that says Min d or man or medicine/I have tried them all\, which feels like it encompass es everything we were trying to say on this record\, Slagle explains. In a lot of these songs were struggling with our own minds and emotions\, with our relationships\, and with whatever were using to try to cope and find relief.

They unfold gradually\, shaped by the room\, the people in it\, and whatever arrives in the moment. \nNothing is rushed … \nNothing is repea ted … \nThe music is allowed to breathe\, to stretch\, to move time in u nfamiliar ways. What happens is shared\, fleeting\, and difficult to descr ibe afterward … something you feel more than remember. \nIf this resonat es\, you’re invited … to the WOLRD PREMIERE of PAST LIVES ! \nThere’ s just one catch … tickets are limited … don’t wait … see you ther e ! \n  \nNicholas Krolak – bass\nMichael Hudson-Cassanova – sax\nMeg han Stagl – voice/piano\nGustava Cortinas – drums \nPhoto by Harvey Ti llis \n7pm Doors\n7:30pm Show\nIn-Person Only\n$20 Suggest Donation\nFREE PARKING LAST-MODIFIED:20260915T062719Z LOCATION:Fulton Street Collective\, 1821 West Hubbard Street\, #suite 307\ , Chicago\, IL\, 60622\, United States URL:https://fultonstreetcollective.com/event/nicholas-krolak-past-lives-al bum-release-concert/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=c hicago-il X-SOURCE-NAME:Fulton Street Collective X-SOURCE-URL:https://fultonstreetcollective.com/location/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:OPEN SWIM w/ SLOT-A DTSTART:20260925T010000Z DTEND:20260925T050000Z DTSTAMP:20260915T061010Z UID:10007815-1790280000-1790294400@www.emporiumarcadebar.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Every 4th Thursday of the month\, Slot-A graces the stage with a live beat experience!
