Mindfulness is the art and practice of of being fully aware of what’s happening in the moment – emotionally, cognitively, in any way!  It involves nourishing the capacity to be conscious of what you’re doing and of what is happening around you, as well as inside you, with open curiosity, kindness and an attitude of non-judgement.  Mindfulness can be particularly helpful during stressful times because it can help us step back from our stormy minds, procide a calmer perspective, and reveal healthier choices available to use.  It can also help when we need to focus on a difficult or complicated task by reducing the ‘chatter’ of our internal monologue.  While it may come naturally to some, mindfulness takes practice to master.

Join professional psychologist Dr. Meagan Daley in-person at the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale for a 1.5-hour session in Mindfulness.

Join us for our series of talks celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec.

Recounting some fascinating stories behind well-known songs from the past, award-winning singer-songwriter Rob Lutes will lead a curated chronological tour through some of the major movements in Western popular music, from its earliest iterations in America in the 18th and 19th centuries, through the arrival of new genres like ragtime and blues, the flowering of Tin Pan Alley and the birth of Rock and Roll. To mark the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec’s 200th anniversary, Rob will also play and talk about some of the music in Quebec over this period.

About Rob Lutes

Since his first album, Gravity, Rob Lutes has steadily built a collection of exquisite songs that inhabit the intersection of blues, folk, Americana, and the contemporary singer-songwriter genre. Lutes released his 8th album, Come Around, in April 2021. It was nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards and won Lutes his second CFMA for Contemporary Singer of the Year. He has had his songs recorded by many other artists.

This event is made possible thanks to support from the Government of Canada.
