"Healing Through the Arts" is a special event designed to provide opportunities for self-care, resiliency, and healing through participation in arts activities. The event will feature visual arts courses in crafting and painting, yoga, meditation, dance, and music that will serve as a medium for expression to address and improve mental health and depression.

Healing through the Arts is a free event to educate women, men, and children about different arts techniques that help improve mental health, and cope with daily stress.

More about Healing Through the Arts:

“Healing through the Arts” event will bring together men, women, and children from different cultural backgrounds. The themes of this event would center around healthier communications, empathy, togetherness, anxiety, stress, depression, mental/emotional health, postpartum depression, and other issues through the process of participating in art making. We hope to break the stigma that depression and mental health needs still carry in our society. The main goal of the event is to provide technical instruction on various arts techniques, and how to apply these skills to manage daily pressures and depressive symptoms.

Through an afternoon of engagement with professional Artists, Social Workers, and Health educators the community will have the opportunity to share, learn, and express how they feel, and realize the next actions needed to overcome unconscious past or present traumas, and open new doors to better quality of life.

Thus, "Healing Through the Arts” is a place where the community feels supported, safe, and can learn new skills, learn how to understand their own feelings, thoughts, and actions to provide a healthy environment for themselves, their children, and significant others.

Hamptons Observatory, and co-host Suffolk County Community College, are pleased to present a free, virtual lecture by Michael T. Menzel, NASA Mission Systems Engineer for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

July 12, 2023, marks the first anniversary of the first images and the science provided by the JWST, which was launched on December 25, 2021 and is NASA’s successor mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The JWST has been designed and developed to observe “first light” objects in the nascent universe, the evolution of galaxies over cosmic history, star birth within our own galaxy, planet formation and evolution both in our solar system and in solar systems around other stars, and to make detailed observations of some of the recently discovered exoplanets. The observatory is now well into its first year of operation, producing magnificent images and data that is already reshaping our understanding of the early universe. This presentation will provide an overview of the JWST, its system design and its challenges, as well as the telescope’s remarkable observations and data collected to date.

Michael T. Menzel received a BSc in Physics from the MIT in 1981 and an MS in Physics from Columbia University in 1986. He distinguished 42 year career included being Deputy Program Manager for the Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Group at Lockheed Martin. He began working on the pre-phase studies for the Next Generation Space Telescope in 1998 and, in June of 2004, he took his current position as the NASA Mission Systems Engineer for the JWST. Mr. Menzel was the recipient of the Robert H. Goddard Exceptional Achievement Award for Engineering in 2009, the NASA Systems Engineering Excellence Award in 2010, the Mission Engineering and Systems Analysis Division Engineering Excellence Award in 2013, the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal in 2013, the Robert H.
