Your Brain On Art: How the Arts Transform Us

You’re invited! Celebrate the release of Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross’ new book, “Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us” with an evening at the Baltimore Museum of Art on March 22! Join the authors in dialogue with WYPR host Tom Hall, Johns Hopkins professors John Krakauer and Meg Chisolm, and arts and health artist Fred Johnson to discover how the arts transform us. “Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us” shares the new science behind humanity’s evolutionary birthright — to make and behold art and its power to transform our lives. What artists have always known, and researchers are now proving is that arts, in all its forms, amplify physical and mental health, learning and flourishing and build stronger communities.We’re on the verge of a cultural shift in which the arts and aesthetics can deliver potent, accessible, and proven solutions for the well-being of everyone.…

Grilling Up the Catch: How to Catch and Cook a Rockfish

Fifteen women met for an afternoon charter on Captain Dean’s Bay Hunter. No experience was necessary – the good captain supplied all the equipment and know-how, and took them to a spot on the Chesapeake that turned out to be a “fish”-mine. They ate, they drank, they fished and laughed, and all agreed it was a great time and want to go again. We asked for their recipes and their best tips for cooking a rockfish and got a variety of great ideas.

Crush: Hiba Stancofski

Our crush this week is Hiba Stancofski! Hiba emigrated to the USA as a young woman escaping civil war in Lebanon and transitioned from an early career in research to teaching beach yoga and mindfulness. Her yoga and mindfulness practices helped her overcome childhood trauma, and she is now using them to help families thrive during the chaos of the pandemic. Tell us a little bit about your background and family I grew up in Lebanon, a beautiful country on the Mediterranean, but left in my early twenties to start a new life in the States after 13 long years of raging civil war. I got my Bachelors degree in Biology from the American University of Beirut, followed by my Masters in Biology from American University, Washington, DC. I then worked in research at Georgetown University, until I moved to Baltimore with my husband, Erik. I worked at the University…

Fave: Sand Cloud Towel

We love when fashion meets function — which is why we’re head over heels for Sand Cloud Towels! Sand Cloud designed its towels to be light, sand-resistant, quick-drying, and soft. (You read that right — skip packing sand and soaking wet towels when you pack-up after a day at the beach). Even better? Sand Cloud is on a mission to help save Marine Life. They are focused on creating the best sustainable products in the world. From packaging to products, everything is designed with sustainability in mind. Their towels are made of 100% cotton, so they are known for being super soft. The cotton actually improves with wear, so a few uses and washes will increase your towels’ comfort. With a variety of designs, you’re sure to find one that fits your personality or hey — matches your favorite suit! You can purchase Sand Cloud towels locally at Karma Fashion Boutique in Lutherville. Want…

You’re Invited! WDP Writing Salons

Write for the sheer joy of writing! Join Susan Weis-Bohlen and Women’s Daily Post for weekly Salons designed for everyone – whether you are working on a manuscript, an avid journal writer, or someone who hasn’t taken pen to paper since elementary school. Everyone can write — with a bit of encouragement — and thought-generating prompts. Susan can help you find the muse, get the writing muscle moving, quiet the monkey mind that says “you can’t write!”, and find that sweet spot where the words flow. Writing is a form of healing, self-expression, and sharing. Writing with a group you trust creates community. These Salons are based on Gateless Method which helps you access the theta state of mind, allowing you to be fearless and creative. Susan is a certified teacher of the Gateless Method. How Does It Work? We will gather together in a small group and Susan will…
