Instinctively, we know that art deeply affects us. Music evokes memories of people and places. The art and décor in our homes says a lot about who we are. Many of our enjoyable evenings out involve theater and concerts, and we leave the theater happier than when we came in. And as lopsided and amateurish as they can be, we save the art projects that we did as children and that our children proudly create for us, and they make us smile. So it comes as no surprise that research supports the positive effect that art has on our lives, our health and well-being. And we love to share art experiences with others and have fun with it. Women’s Daily Post is partnering with Social Studioto offer Your Hands on Art Experiences in a fun, informal setting with a group of other women. We’ve designed a series of classes that…

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.…

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.

If you’ve been hesitant to join in a writer’s group because you feel like your writing isn’t as good as everyone else’s, or you don’t want to be embarrassed by criticism, read these amazing pieces of prose and poetry by K. P. McGee about her experiences at the Women’s Daily Post Writing Salon, with Susan Weis-Bohlen. The Salon is a nurturing place for women to feel creatively supportive and for you to finally start putting the words in your head onto paper.

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…
