Sacred, earthy and luminous, born of stillness, memory, and slow transformation. In a world that moves to quickly, you’re invited into a quieter rhythm. Into the hush of the forest floor, where moss softens stone and dappled light finds its way through the canopy. Inspired by years spent in the mountains of North Carolina where she found healing and restoration. Each painting is a kind of visual hymn-an offering of stillness, grace and thanksgiving.Colleen Kastner is a South African born mixed-media artist that is inspired by the natural world. Before becoming a full-time artist, she worked as a journalist and a licensed mental health counselor. She leads creative healing retreats and online courses.

Next Chapter Book Club is a unique community-based book club program for adolescents (16 & up) and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our members love books for the same reasons most people do: they enjoy being transported to different worlds where they meet interesting characters and learn about exciting new things. Taking that journey with a group of friends makes it even more meaningful and fun.This inclusive book club meets most Mondays in Zoom and is open to anyone who enjoys a good story! Non-readers, non-verbal, emerging readers, fluent/avid readers are all welcome and encouraged to participate at their comfort level. Books are provided in advance of each meeting. Next Chapter Book Club is supported by a grant from the Ridgefield Thrift Shop and is offered in partnership with SPHERE.Please contact Assistant Library Director Andy Forsyth for more information and to register [email protected] or (203) 438-2282 ext 102.
