The Gallery at South Hill, Daniel Rothenberg "The Alchemist's Press" exhibit. This one person exhibit features the work of Rochester, NY based artist Daniel Rothenberg who works with photography and printmaking to create one of a kind artworks called Kallitypes. The kallitype process, first invented in the late 1800s, is a historical photographic printing method that uses iron salts and silver nitrate to produce rich brown tones. By reimagining it through the press, I explore how photography and printmaking—two mediums rooted in replication—can be transformed into singular, non-repeatable works.

In this talk, therapist and writer Lex Enrico Santí, LCSW explores how our species’ deepest strength—our ability to endure, adapt, and connect—can also become our greatest challenge in love and communication. Drawing from Stan Tatkin’s ideas on secure relationships, evolutionary psychology, and his own humor-filled reflections on “cave people,” Lex invites men to consider communication not as conflict resolution but as emotional co-regulation—the shared art of staying. Through story, science, and poetry, he reminds us that healing begins when men can hear one another’s pain without judgment and learn to love with the same endurance that once helped us survive.

It also reflects the pioneering vision of her Trésor des Pianistes, which paired past and present in one of the earliest revivals of early music. Performed on a Pleyel 1865 by Patricia Garcia Gil and the historical wind ensemble Quodlibet (Kelsey Burnham, Pablo O’Connell, Elise Bonhivert, Rachel Nierenberg, and Aaron Goler).

The Art of Flow: Accessing Guidance w/ Dowsing and the Infinity Wave
2025-11-14 19:30 - 2025-11-15 16:00 | Foundation of Light, 391 Turkey Hill Rd, Ithaca, 14850
Fast-changing times can engender a reaction of disconnection, overwhelm, and uncertainty about what the future holds. In this chaotic reality, how do we stay grounded, whole, and connected to our purpose?
Although Dowsing is not a future-telling modality, it can help us to determine the next best steps for ourselves, bringing a necessary sense of autonomy while so much else seems out of our control. When we couple Dowsing with the highly distilled energy of the Infinity Wave, we can enter into a flow state that turns us into great surfers of the evolutionary waves that are upon us. Received in visions in 2010 by spiritual teacher, Hope Fitzgerald, this transformative tool emerged to help us transition our world into a new and higher consciousness. The Infinity Wave is more than an abstract concept — it's a potent power that invites you to explore a connection with higher dimensions of consciousness.
These times call for more than just coping—they call for transformation. Hope invites you to cultivate a new way of being that enables you to stay intact, connected, and present, even amidst global uncertainty. This is about reclaiming your sense of peace, purpose, and the simple privilege of being alive.
In this workshop, Hope will provide instruction in both modalities.
This two-part workshop starts Friday evening 7:30-9:00pm with an introduction to both Dowsing and the Infinity Wave. An in-depth workshop follows on Saturday (10am-4pm). The Friday evening introduction is required for those attending the full workshop, though it's open to anyone.
Cost: Full workshop (Friday evening and Saturday): $95 – $150 sliding scale. Some scholarships available. Please contact Eva at info@thefoundationoflight.org to find out more. Friday evening only: $20-30 sliding scale
Facilitator: Hope Fitzgerald is a Spiritual Teacher, Intuitive Dowser, Coach and Author. She is also a healer, an End-of-Life Midwife, and a Certified Neurofeedback Practitioner. Hope's book, The Infinity Wave: Mastering the Art of Love, Compassion and Flow offers a guidebook for how to use this multi-dimensional tool to enhance day-to-day activities as well as to provide a path towards deep spiritual evolution. Hope's work with Dowsing and the Infinity Wave helps us navigate the chaotic times we’re in. It's meant to help us evolve by keeping us in a flow state while we navigate these highly charged seas. It’s a living energy, which means that it wants to dance with you if you invite it to. It will teach you and change you if you let it. It can even alter reality as we know it, just like magic! I have witnessed 180-degree shifts in a nano-second using the Infinity Wave. Find our more about Hope here: www.spreadinfinitehope.com/about

Louise Farrenc at 150: Lecture Sessions (CU Music)
2025-11-15 09:00 - 12:00 | A. D. White House, 27 E Ave, Ithaca, 14853
Scholars—including Roger Moseley, Laurent Ferri, and PhD students from Cornell (Benjamin Skoronski, Moira de Kok, and Maria Bulla Clavijo) and the University of Rochester (Kelsy Morrison and Lauren Ganger)—will explore themes ranging from archival methodologies and gendered perspectives on music history to anthologies as cultural artifacts, women as entrepreneurs, and the institutional and pedagogical frameworks of Farrenc’s career. At the center of the discussion stands her equal pay petition, a powerful lens on gender, labor, and visibility in 19th-century music. The symposium will also feature a panel inviting reflection and discussion on invisible labor and the representation of women within musical institutions.
Sponsored by the Central New York Humanities Corridor from an award by the Mellon Foundation.
