SUMMARY:"Last of James Fenimore Cooper"
DESCRIPTION:Composer Brent Michael Davids (Mohican/ Munsee-Lenape) has composed a charming quartet about James Fenimore Cooper. Davids\, who embraces Indigenous themes and subjects in his music\, considers Cooper’s ignorance of native culture in “The Last of the Mohicans” for this delightful work for string quartet\, featuring members of Albany Symphony. This event is featured as part of the Sanctuary for Independent Media’s Freedom Fest in collaboration with the American Music Festival. Join us at the Sanctuary Main Space for the culmination of our multi-year NEA Our Town Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail Project! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrent Michael Davids is an internationally celebrated Mohican and Munsee-Lenape composer\, and self-described music warrior. As an advocate for Native equity and parity\, Davids places Native voices front and center. He originated and co-founded the award-winning Native American Composer Apprentice Project (NACAP)\, championing indigenous youth to compose their own written music. He uses indigenous instruments\, including handmade quartz flutes\, and pens performable notations that are themselves visual works of art. Davids is co-director of the Lenape Center in Manhattan\, and is enrolled in the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. His composing career spans nearly five decades\, with countless awards and commissions from America’s most celebrated organizations and ensembles. \n\n\n\n“When we collaborate and experiment in song\, we are discovering life benefits\, not simply musical ones. Our interactions as composers\, performers\, audiences\, students and teachers constitute important relational skills. If we can excite creativity and cooperation in each other\, we have accomplished a magnificent thing.” – Brent Michael Davids \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrent Michael Davids · LAST OF JAMES FENIMORE COOPER\n\n\n\nGet a taste\, or rather\, a listen of what’s to come on June 9th\, 2024 with the string quartet version of\, “Last of James Fenimore Cooper.” Via Miro Quartet\, Brent Michael Davids.

SUMMARY:PHS Community Acupuncture
DESCRIPTION:PHS is offering the first People’s Health Community Acupuncture as part of our Healing Days.  Community acupuncture is a grassroots model to increase access to acupuncture. It is done in a group setting (about 5 people at a time) in comfortable recliners and uses points mainly in your hands and feet.   \n\n\n\nThe last appointment of the day is at 3:10p. Walk-ins are welcome\, if there is space. Please wear comfy clothes and drink plenty of water!  Acupuncture will be performed by Xavier\, a NYS certified physician-acupuncturist. He was trained in a Japanese style formulated by Kiko Matsumoto through the Acumed program. \n\n\n\n\nSign up here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is acupuncture?\n\n\n\nJohn Hopkins Medicine writes\, acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin\, solid\, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner’s hands or with electrical stimulation.  \n\n\n\nAcupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2\,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi\, pronounced “chee”) through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points\, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi\, thereby improving health.

It is done in a group setting\, mainly using points mainly in your hands\, feet\, and ears.  In the US\, specifically at the Lincoln Hospital Detox Program in the Bronx\, the practice was brought over in the 70’s from China by Black Panther and Young Lord activists.  It has been refined and spread through the work of the Peoples Organization of Community Acupuncture (POCA).
