Why do some people live longer than others? Hint: It’s not about calories, vitamins, or time spent at a gym. In one of the world’s longest studies of adult life, Harvard researchers followed a group of people for 80 years to determine what makes for a long, happy, and healthy life. Their answer? Community. Experiencing joy and gratitude together. At URI, we want to create a world safe from violence that holds space for healing together. After all, the only thing we are vehemently “religious” about is ending religiously motivated violence. But let’s face it: violence is hardly a joyful subject. So, how do we remain centered in joy amidst our often tedious work? If we only focus on what’s wrong in the world, if we don’t also remember to celebrate with song and laughter, we’re going to burn out. We won’t be able to sustain the change we seek. To celebrate URI’s 25th anniversary this year, we will sing, drum, and dance for joy. On June 18th, we’re bringing together friends and supporters to delight in an evening of soulful jazz with award-winning musicians, dancers, and more. We’ll celebrate the impact we’ve made and re-energize ourselves for the work that remains to be done. Expect to be inspired. Spend your night in community and be part of infusing purpose with joy, and joy with purpose. Will you join us, or recommend this dose of joy to friends you know in the Bay Area? Grab your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/egaTaRWg #URI #URIGlobal #YouAreI #Together #Peace #Community #Impact

Michael Minkoff was recently joined by Brian Brown, founder and executive director of the Anselm Society, to discuss the importance of the arts in the practice of communal meaning-making. What's the difference between communal and individual experiences of the arts? What can each of us can do to participate in our communities through the arts? This and more on "Looking for the Life of the World to Come (with Brian Brown)." https://lnkd.in/g3qJefbP

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the US, celebrating the activist’s fight for racial equality in the 1960s. The National Park Service is working on rehabilitating historic buildings at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. Over the last few months, we have published various tenders for the National Park Service’s project to rehabilitate various historic buildings at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, including his birthplace. Yesterday, we highlighted a sources sought notice for the rehabilitation of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park visitor centre and headquarters building. These initiatives are not just about preserving a site but an effort to keep alive the stories of nonviolent activism and the struggle for civil rights. The National Park Service manages many sites of brutal violence and historic significance to the Civil Rights Movement, including the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument and the Freedom Riders National Monument in Alabama, keeping alive these stories of sacrifice and inspiration. In a parallel development, the Fermanagh & Omagh District Council in Northern Ireland is working to create a Peace Park in Omagh, County Tyrone, the site of the deadliest incident during The Troubles. This incident, a car bombing by an IRA splinter group in 1998, resulted in tragic loss of life and numerous injuries. Now, a proposed Peace Park is envisioned as a space of unity and remembrance, a testament to resilience in the face of violence. Both projects underscore the power of museums and heritage sites as spaces for reckoning with our pasts and healing. They serve as poignant reminders of our collective history, offering insights and tools for fostering dialogue around violent and traumatic histories while giving visitors space for their own experiences. We thought these two initiatives were both unique opportunities for museum and heritage sector professionals to engage in work that is not only about conservation but also about educating, reflecting, and healing.

What I don't understand is why the people in power undervalue the Arts. There are so many ways in which we benefit as a society, as a community, as an individual from access to the Arts. The Arts are a tool. Use them to mend what is broken, Use them to inspire when hope has gone. Use them to regenerate. Use them to soothe. Use them to make us laugh. Use them to Educate. Use them to communicate. Use them to prevent violence. Use them to fight prejudice. Use them for health. Use them to cause us to question ourselves. And others. Use them to be analytical. Use them to find new creative solutions. The Arts could benefit everyone. I am sure you could add to this list.
"A problem now driving arts & cultural services to the point of collapse." Today in the House of Lords, the Earl of Clancarty asked the Arts Minister (Lord Parkinson) about the "significant underfunding" of local authorities and the profound impact on arts & culture provision.

What creates urgency - in a good way - for YOU? Recently, two amazing singer-songwriter-guitarists died too young. Besides discovering their talents early, they sang in multiple languages and brought many people around the world together with their music. Although they had dramatically different lives and styles of music, each based their mesmerizing work on their diverse African roots. Jon Pareles, NYT music critic, said of Tavares, "Her voice stayed friendly and airborne on every track, sailing above borders." I could elaborate on their talents, but why do we care? They are leaders - international role models for all of us. Perhaps we don't have that kind of talent, (I surely don't - they asked me to leave the church choir😉), but we all can find out purpose, our aspiration, the things we feel great doing. I might not be good at singing, but I CAN empower people to facilitate change in themselves and/or their organization. I can make the world a better place to work and live in that way. What is it you want to do? And how long before you start doing it? Seeing people with these gifts die young, makes me want to give what I can, as fast as I can. What are YOU offering to those close to you, your colleagues, your organization, the world? What makes you feel fulfilled? Zahara: https://lnkd.in/egFbvA72 Sara Taveres: https://lnkd.in/eAhCzrB7

"Joy is one of my favorite words and a significant outcome of the arts. There are some things in life we cannot easily prove, or should not have to, because we simply and unapologetically know them to be true. The impact of joy is one of them."
