Color Your Feelings with Shirla de Magalhães. Feelings might be challenging to identify, and unresolved feelings may show up in our lives in ways we don't like - psychologist Carl Jung calls it our "Shadow Parts". When we can better identify and understand our feelings, we can better manage them and not let them take control of us. In this playful workshop we will use colors to help identify feelings and better understand that all feelings are welcome, and we can learn to live joyfully with all of them, even the "shadow ones". No art experience necessary.

Deidre McCalla’s songwriting reveals an unyieldingly honest perspective expressed with a lyric touch that relentlessly celebrates the power and diversity of the human spirit. She learned, at an early age, that life begins with an acoustic guitar. Her first album, Fur Coats and Blue Jeans, was released when Deidre was nineteen and a student at Vassar College. Deidre later studied jazz guitar at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee. With five independent albums to her credit, Deidre has touched audiences from Maui to Maine, from church basements and college coffeehouses to Carnegie Hall. A Black woman, mother, lesbian, and feminist, Deidre has long been in the forefront of Black musicians redefining the understanding of how Black folk do folk. Deidre is riding high on her current release "Endless Grace" which dominated the June 2022 Folk Radio Charts as the #1 Album with the #1 Song, "Shoulder to The Wheel" and the #3 Song, "I Do Not Walk This Path Alone," and finished the year as the #13 Top Album. PopMatters, Rhythms Magazine, and the Folk Alley Listener Favorites Poll ranked Endless Grace among the Ten Best Folk albums for 2022. In 2023, Deidre’s song, "Shoulder to The Wheel," won the 19th Annual International Acoustic Music Award for Best Folk/Americana/Roots Song, making Deidre the first woman to ever win that category in IAMA history. A much-beloved performer, Deidre has shared the stage with a long list of notables that includes Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman, Holly Near, Odetta, Cris Williamson, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. She has taught performance at Warren Wilson College’s Swannanoa Gathering, and songwriting at Common Ground on the Hill. Deidre’s work has been published in Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology, The Original Coming Out Stories, and Chrysalis: A Feminist Quarterly, and she is featured in The Power of Words: A Transformative Language Arts Reader. Kevin Roth has shared his music with local audiences several times since moving to San Diego a half-dozen years ago. He has impressed listeners with his masterful playing, rich voice, and lyrics that range from profound to hilarious. Kevin began to play the dulcimer in 1972, at the old age of thirteen. At sixteen, he recorded his first album for Smithsonian Folkways Records, which immediately launched him into international fame. Between 1974 and 1984, Roth recorded ten albums with this label, establishing himself as a prominent folk singer and dulcimer player. In 1984, Kevin performed the theme to the PBS-TV children’s show "Shining Time Station," which brought him to another new and much larger market. In 2006, His friendship and collaboration with Noel Paul Stookey, of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary, further cemented Kevin in American folk history. His career has taken him to concert and symphony stages around the world, to festivals, to radio and television shows, and two appearances at the White House. As his career grew, Kevin became professionally and financially successful, winning numerous awards and partnering with prominent companies such as Sony, National Geographic, PBS, Random House, and Time Warner. Then came a sudden diagnosis of melanoma, and it changed his life. He had a choice to accept a death sentence or to live. He chose life. Through adapting and combining techniques from his music and performance practice with others that he researched, he found a simple and powerful method to change how he lived. Kevin discovered how to not just survive, but to become truly happy and thrive. Deidre McCalla's Socials: Facebook | Instagram | X

The Far Voice Speaker: Hannah Zeavin, Assistant Professor, Indiana University Respondent: Alain J.-J. Cohen, Professor, Department of Literature, UC San Diego Hosted by Wentao Ma, PhD Student, Department of Literature, UC San Diego Abstract: “The Far Voice” describes the rise of mass telecommunication therapies, focusing on the suicide crisis hotline (originated by Protestant clergy) in England and the United States in the 1950s and 1960s and investigates how this service first became thinkable, and then widely adopted and used. I redescribe the hotline as psycho-religious in origin and intent, rather than as the secular service it has usually been assumed to be. I argue that these services, in their use of the peer-to-peer modality, radically upset former regimes of pastoral care and counseling, as well as those of psychodynamic therapy. Hotlines generate a new, hyper-transient frame for the helping encounter, removing nearly all the traditional aspects of the therapeutic setting except for speech and listening. At the same time, these hotlines devalue the need for expertise and rescind the fee associated with that expertise. They challenge every clinical concept associated with the structure and dynamic of the analytic encounter. It is contingent, it is not in person, and requires (or permits) a distanced intimacy with no guarantee of repeating; and it makes use of the phone—an appliance paradoxically thought of as capable of bringing people together and as responsible for their greater alienation. I will conclude by examining the afterlives of these radical early hotlines in our contemporary, when algorithmic surveillance, datafication, and tracking have relinked the hotline with forced hospitalization and carceral intervention.
