SUMMARY:Orchard Women of Harvard
DESCRIPTION:In late summer and early fall\, city-dwellers and locals are drawn to the beautiful orchards of Harvard\, Massachusetts to pick fruit straight from the trees.  For the past few years\, photographer Ellen Harasimowicz has visited four of these orchards in all seasons\, searching for the extraordinary within the ordinary. \n In this International Year of the Woman Farmer *\, she presents an exhibition of four women who own and manage these local orchards. Two grew up in the business\, one married into it\, and one revived an abandoned orchard and made it organic. The women\, whose ages span decades\, are strong and productive like their fruit trees. Both the women and their trees embody beauty\, resilience\, and hope\, while providing rootedness and nourishment for their community. The orchardists face similar climate and economic challenges\, but each finds her own way to meet them. \nThis exhibition is a collaboration with the orchardists  – Pam Lawson (Doe Orchards) and Linda Hoffman (Old Frog Pond Farm)\, who are showing their artwork alongside Ellen’s photography\, and Stephanie Green O’Keefe (Westward Orchards) and Katie Carlson (Carlson Orchards)\, who are contributing family stories and photos. \nOn view February 28\, 2026 – April 11\, 2026. \nMeet the artists and orchardists at the Opening Reception\, free and open to all\, Sunday\, March 8\, 2026 3:00-5:00pm. \n*The United Nations declared 2026 the International Year of the Woman Farmer. \n  \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Harvard Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Music is Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Age-old practices of meditation\, such as Zen\, remain an effective means of promoting stress-reduction and attaining self-awareness.  \nThis series\, entitled “Music is Meditation\,” will explore the possibilities of using “musical mantras” in the place of verbal ones in the practice of collective meditation.  \nEach session will entail two 20-minute meditation periods\, each employing recurrent musical motives or tranquil meandering themes\, played on keyboard\, as a focus for inward centering.  \nThe first meeting will begin with a brief introduction to the practice of collective meditation.  \nParticipants should wear comfortable clothing\, and bring a small mat if intending to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided.  \nMusic is Meditation will meet weekly at 9:00am- 10:00am on Friday mornings for 4 sessions (April 3\, 10\, 17 and May 1\, skipping April 24 for school break)\nFee for the 4 class series is $50.\nClick HERE to Register for Music is Meditation
