2024-01-05 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA, 91101, United States
This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of international human rights issues, offering truly international coverage including the Global South. Considering the philosophical foundations of human rights, Chen and Renteln explore the interpretive difficulties associated with identifying what constitute human rights abuses, and evaluate various perspectives on human rights. This book goes on to analyze institutions that strive to promote and enforce human rights standards, including the United Nations system, regional human rights bodies, and domestic courts. It also discusses a wide variety of substantive human rights including genocide, torture, capital punishment, and other cruel and unusual punishments. In particular, the book offers an accessible introduction to key understudied topics within human rights, such as socioeconomic rights, cultural rights, and environmental rights. It also focuses on the rights of marginalized groups, including children’s rights, rights of persons with disabilities, women’s rights, labor rights, indigenous rights, and LGBTQ+ rights, making this an engaging and invaluable resource for the contemporary student.

ON THRIVING by Brandi Sellerz-Jackson
A renowned doula shares powerful lessons on healing and thriving through the murky seasons of life in this moving, intimate guide to deeper self-awareness and radical joy.
We’ve all been there: We take a pause, look at our lives, and desire more—more from our relationships, more from our wellness journeys, maybe simply more from ourselves. For some, it might be more fun, more peace, more exploration—but what does it take to get to the other side of living in survival mode? In On Thriving, Brandi Sellerz-Jackson helps us wade through what she calls the four great labors of our lives—labors that she’s had to overcome and that she has led many clients through.
Drawing from her experiences as a doula and intimate storytelling from her own life, Sellerz-Jackson guides us through the many phases of these great labors—labors that we can get stuck in, stunting our ability to thrive. Across age, gender, economic status, or background, we all move through the great labor of our relationships, our mental health, grief and loss, and the feeling of being othered. Sellerz-Jackson doesn’t shy away from the pitfalls of these labors but rather challenges us to actively remain present within them and ask ourselves: What do I need to thrive in the space I’m currently in? In On Thriving,you’ll come to recognize the survival tools you’ve picked up along the way and exchange them for thriving tools and “rich-uals.” You’ll commit to no longer making a home out of chaos and rediscovering sanctuary within yourself.
Comparing our thriving to that of plant life, Sellerz-Jackson simplifies the complicated—and oftentimes overwhelming—journey as we attempt to grow in an inhospitable environment. With insightful and vulnerable storytelling, she invites a deep, soul-stirring investigation of our past and present to gather all that we need to thrive right where we are, right now.
BREAK THE CYCLE by Dr. Mariel Buqué
The definitive, paradigm shifting guide to healing intergenerational trauma—weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and stories from the therapy room—from Dr. Mariel Buqué, Ph.D, a Columbia University-trained, trauma-informed, psychologist, professor, and practitioner of holistic healing.
When a physical wound is left unhealed, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives, hurting our family, friends, coworkers, and others. Eventually, this hurt can injure an entire community, metastasizing across years and generations. This is intergenerational trauma. This trauma is why some of us become estranged from our families, why some of us are people pleasers, and why some of us find ourselves in co-dependent relationships. This trauma can be rooted in the experiences of ancestors, who may have suffered due to their race or identity, and it can be collective, the result of a shared experience like systemic oppression, harmful engrained behaviors in a culture like the acceptance of physical discipline of children, or even a natural disaster like a pandemic. These wounds are complex, impacting our minds, bodies, and spirits. Healing requires a holistic approach that has so far been absent from the field of psychology. Until now.
From Dr. Mariel Buqué, a leading trauma psychologist, comes a groundbreaking guide to transforming intergenerational pain into intergenerational abundance. With BREAK THE CYCLE, she delivers the definitive guide to healing inherited trauma. Weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and stories from the therapy room, Dr. Buqué teaches readers how trauma is transmitted from one generation to the next and how they can break the cycle through tangible therapeutic practices, learning to pass down strength instead of pain to future generations.
THE UNFOLDING by Arielle Estoria
“A moving, fresh, unique poetry collection and a generous invitation into the mind of the poet. Both a galvanizing wake-up call and a tender lullaby.” — Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed
“What I love about Arielle’s writing is that she takes readers on this journey step by step, filled with wisdom and grace. This book will help anyone seeking to unfold into their bloom.” — Morgan Harper Nichols, author of All Along You Were Blooming and Peace is a Practice
In this beautiful collection of poems, essays, and meditations, Arielle Estoria tenderly reveals the places in her life where she has been broken open and mended back together in new ways. In doing so, she shows each of us how when we walk through our own process of “unfolding,” though it may be uncomfortable at times, there is light on the other side. Let these words guide your soul, and return home to the person you were always meant to be.
This ticketed event will take place at All Saints Church located at 132 N Euclid Ave, Pasadena.
Books that come with the ticket will be handed out at check-in and will be pre-signed so a book signing will NOT follow the conversation. Additional copies of all titles, will be available for purchase at the event.

Pasadena Heritage: Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture and Reception
2024-01-13 16:00 - 19:00 | Blinn House, 160 N. Oakland Ave., Pasadena, CA, 91101, United States
Saturday, January 13, 2024 | 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Lecture & Reception Tickets: $30 Members / $35 Nonmembers
Virtual Lecture (Zoom) Tickets: $15 Members / $20 Nonmembers / (Students are free)
Pasadena Heritage presents Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture and Reception with feature speaker, Ted Ellison, who will delight guests with his illustrated talk, From Hand to Hearth: Glass Mosaic from the Prairie School.
Fine craftsman and designer Ted Ellison brings a historical perspective to the introduction of mosaics to the buildings of progressive American architects around the turn of the twentieth century. The Chicago firm Giannini & Hilgart is among those whose works of art stand among the highest achievements of this ancient art form, yet they remain nearly forgotten in homes across the country. In collaboration with the celebrated architects of their day, Giannini & Hilgart approached the language of mosaic with fresh experiments in material and decorative design, exemplified by their installations at the historic Blinn House (the headquarters of Pasadena Heritage). In light of his study of leaded glass and mosaic fireplaces nationwide, Ted will also share his observations on the decorative furnishings of this Pasadena landmark. This lecture is a rare chance to view exquisitely photographed interiors and newly discovered installations from around the country.
You are invited to join us in person or virtually for this special program! The lecture will be livestreamed via Zoom and a recording will be made available to ticket holders shortly after the event. Free admission to the Zoom lecture will be made available to students upon request. Current students may email Kristen Norton at knorton@pasadenaheritage.org to receive the Zoom connection info.
For those joining us in person, we will host a cocktail reception following the lecture to toast the late Dr. Robert Winter. Martinis (Dr. Winter’s cocktail of choice) and light hors d’oeuvres will be served from 5:00 to 6:30 PM.
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Ted Ellison, founder of Theodore Ellison Designs, studied art and apprenticed in a glass studio before starting his leaded glass and mosaic company in 1998. Honoring the artistic integrity of the Arts & Crafts tradition he’s created original glass, mosaic and lighting designs for homes all over the country. His work is based on the firm belief that thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted artworks enhance the lives of those who encounter them. His work has appeared in Fine Homebuilding, Style 1900 and Old House Journal. He’s written on the history of glass for American Bungalow and presented on the history of American mosaic at the National Arts & Crafts Conference in Asheville, Historic Seattle, The Gamble House, and Chicago’s Driehaus Museum.
DR. ROBERT WINTER
Dr. Robert Winter was a gift to us and to the cause of historic preservation nationwide – his teaching, writing, critical eye and witty commentary still influence what we do and how we look at historic places. He led the way in creating Pasadena’s preservation ordinance and commission and supported us, educated us and urged us to be a strong voice for the architectural legacy that surrounds us. The first Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture was held during Craftsman Weekend in 2019 after his passing, and is a lasting tribute to his impact on historic preservation communities both near and far. He would be thrilled to know that Pasadena Heritage now resides in the historic Blinn House designed by Chicago architect George Washington Maher. Celebrate with us as we learn about the stunning mosaic fireplace in the Dr. Robert Winter Lounge of the Blinn House (shown above).
Donations in support of the program are very welcome. All those who donate to the Dr. Robert Winter lecture will receive a link to view the recording of this year’s Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture.

Are you ready to direct your environment?
Create your best year yet?
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

The power of visualization to focus my attention, to clarify my purpose, and create a roadmap through visionboarding is unparalleled.

You’re an action-taker

What past participants have said about my vision board workshops:
Absolutely recommend! It was a chance to organize my thoughts and goals in an intentional way and then express them in a collage of images and phrases and colors that I “attracted” and was meant to see and use. It’s like a micro version of the universe helping you with whatever you are trying to accomplish. I also got a chance to connect with other creative entrepreneurs. It was an inspirational time. – Malia Jade, Music Theorist & Entrepreneur
Clarissa’s beautifully guided workshop was just what I needed to feel inspired and empowered. Can’t wait for another one! -Eva Gardner, Musician/Bassist to Cher, Moby, Pink, and more!
I attended Clarissa’s Vision board event, it was such a well put together event, meaningful and just right amount of unstructured, for everyone to create! No doubt Clarissa brings many years of a diverse background in art and psychology that makes her a success in assisting others as well! – Joanna Revel, Owner Blue Violet Boutique & Captured Corners Photography
This workshop was just what I needed! And the atmosphere, space, and energy here was over and above what I expected. I strongly recommend everyone who’s ready to create a vision for themselves, get clear, and have a playful time. Do this! It’s worth it! – Joan Spinelli, Renaissance Woman

This Fiction Writing Class is for writers interested in working on short stories or a novel.

Diana Wagman is the author of six novels. Her second, Spontaneous, won the 2001 PEN West Award for Fiction. Her fourth, The Care & Feeding of Exotic Pets, was very briefly a best seller. She has had many short stories and essays published, most recently in Conjunctions and Prairie Schooner, and is an occasional contributor to the Los Angeles Times. She has taught as adjunct faculty across southern California, from Loyola Marymount to CalArts to Cal State San Bernardino.
