​

GOV'T MULE

​

When Gov’t Mule’s GRAMMY-nominated Heavy Load Blues was released in late 2021, few who heard the album could have sensed that it was merely one part of a two-album project from guitarist/vocalist Warren Haynes and his band mates, drummer Matt Abts & keyboardist Danny Louis. While Heavy Load Blues was designed as a live-in-the-studio project exploring the blues idiom, in the midst of that creative rush, Haynes found himself with a bumper crop of new material that ventured outside of the blues genre. The result is Mule’s 12th studio album, the sparkling Peace…Like a River (Fantasy), out now.

​

Co-produced by Warren Haynes and John Paterno, Peace…Like A River deftly combines structure and spontaneity. Concise songcraft coexists seamlessly with the band’s trademark instrumental journeys, and Haynes’ lyrical themes serves as the glue that fuses the new LP’s extraordinary sonic variety. Ever the consummate collaborators, Peace…Like A River also features crucial contributions from friends of the band, including Billy F. Gibbons, Billy Bob Thornton, Ruthie Foster, Ivan Neville and acclaimed singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Celisse; extraordinary artistic talents who deepen the listening experience even further.

​

“Most of these songs were written during lockdown,” Haynes says. “But I made a conscious decision: I didn't want to write a bunch of Covid-centric songs.” Rather, Haynes set out to explore the changes that he, and everyone else, was going through. “I wanted to focus on the positive aspects: what we're learning, and especially what we learned to appreciate that we took for granted before.”

​

“Our mission has always been to try to create music that can stand up next to the amazing artists who influenced us,” Haynes revealed. Few things would make him happier than to know that someone listened to Peace…Like a River and wondered “Am I listening to a record made in the ‘70s? Because I don’t know how I missed it back then!”

This Event Runs From Oct 31, 2025, 4:00pm to Nov 1, 2025, 11:59pm Timezone: EDT

​

The deep dismantling underway in 2025 calls for an equally deep rebuilding—one that centers environmental justice, prioritizes historically marginalized communities, and ensures equitable access to clean air, water, land, and decision-making power. People yearn for and need a modernization of these crucial intersections, comprising new concepts and laws for an emerging era of integrated solutions.

​

That is why Yale Center for Environmental Justice is thrilled to invite you the to Environmental Joy 2025: Writing the Future .

​

By November 2025, the time will be ripe for a new phase. Almost a year into attacking domestic and global solidarity and mutualism while stripping down the foundations of justice and environmental protections, Environmental Joy will convene. It will convene in a form more akin to a congress than a conference to confront and overcome these challenges.

​

Environmental Joy 2025: Writing the Future

​

Environmental Joy’s goal is to launch “Writing the Future” – a rethinking of frameworks, processes, practices, cultures, and policies needed to remake and accelerate the transition to a just and sustainable world. Environmental Joy 2025 will be a starting point for that rebuilding.

​

Join us on October 31 - November 1.

​

The conference is held in person, with hybrid components also available. For the full conference description and more information, visit: Environmental Joy 2025 | Yale Center for Environmental Justice.

​

Conference features:

​

• Networking opportunities: Connect with environmental and climate justice leaders, innovators, and influencers across the world
• Keynote and plenary speakers: Hear from prominent EJ figures such as the co-leaders of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council and more
• Interactive breakout sessions: Participate in three hands-on sessions to co-create roadmaps that will detail EJ pathways for the next 3-5 years
• Art & Joy Showcases: Build environmental joy with one another through participatory art engagements throughout the conference
• and more!

​

Who should attend?

​

Everybody is welcome to attend this conference, though typical attendees include:

​

• Environmental and climate justice communities and members
• Policy makers
• Academics and researchers
• Thought leaders in faith and culture

​

​

What is Environmental Joy?

​

The work of environmental justice communities around the world would not be possible without the element of joy. Joy is not the opposite of sorrow, nor a repudiation of tragedy or grief. It is a transformative, necessary force that holds communities together in the face of injustice and adversity. Joy is what injustice can take, and what can be regained when healing and repair occur.

​

From Frank Pepe’s original hat to celebrity-signed pizza boxes (including Gwyneth Paltrow and Yogi Berra!), if you love the crust, the crunch and the char of New Haven apizza, or simply have strong views on what comprises a good pie, you’ll find something to feed your personal pizza passion in the new exhibit “Pronounced Ah-Beetz,” open now at the New Haven Museum (NHM) through October 2027.

​

“Pronounced Ah-Beetz” examines the fun, the flavor and the history of pizza, including its origin as an affordable means of feeding workers in the fields of Italy, and how it became the food of the poor in the U.S. The Italian migration to New Haven gave way to Frank Pepe’s Pizzeria Napoletana, which gave birth to Sally’s Apizza, while a mile away Tony’s Apizza became Modern. How these three establishments became among the most iconically loved pizza restaurants in the country is a major focus.

​

While the exhibit highlights the “Big 3” original apizza spots in New Haven, it also extends through the family tree of New Haven pizzerias to present a picture of family, food and community that includes a host of other local pizzerias, including: Ernie’s, Zuppardi’s, BAR, Zeneli’s, Olde World, and the Big Green Pizza Truck, among others.

​

The Schwarzman Center offers student-led tours of Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven, on selected Fridays from 11am - 12pm.

​

Group tours are available upon request during our operating hours. Those with a group of ten or more people should contact us at ysc.info@yale.edu to schedule a time.

​

About the exhibition: 

​

Installed at the Schwarzman Center,  “Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven,”  illuminates ongoing research that recovers the essential role of Black people throughout Yale and New Haven history. The exhibition puts back at the center of local storytelling people who have always been central to local history. It celebrates Black community building, resistance, and resilience on campus and in New Haven.

​

The show includes nearly one hundred images of Yale’s earliest Black students from the 1800s and early 1900s, many of whom had deep New Haven connections. The Schwarzman exhibition features compelling reproductions of photographs of New Haveners who were custodians of Yale. The Luke, Grimes, Creed, Park, and Bassett families, among the many people key to founding and sustaining Yale, and who are heralded in the show.

​

“Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven” showcases the proposal, made and thwarted in 1831, to build a Black college in New Haven. It also highlights the successful efforts of Black students in the 1960s to establish the Afro-American Cultural Center and Afro-American Studies at Yale.

​

This exhibition brings forth knowledge kept alive in archives and memory for many centuries—even when the dominant culture chose to ignore, bury, or forget. It extends the work of the Yale and Slavery Research Project and follows from the exhibition, “Shining Light on Truth: New Haven, Yale and Slavery,” at the New Haven Museum from February 16, 2024 – March 1, 2025.

​

The exhibition team includes David Jon Walker ’23 MFA, lead designer, and Michael Morand ’87 ’93 M.Div., lead curator, with Timeica Bethel ’11, Robert Laird Brown, Jennifer Coggins, Mohamed Diallo ’26, Regina Mason, Hope McGrath, Carlynne Robinson, and Charles Warner, Jr.

 EVER / AFTER

​

Marion Belanger and Martha Willette Lewis (Collaborators)

​

October 30 - December 8, 2025

​

Located in The Workshop Gallery, Building 3.

​

Opening Reception on Thursday, October 30th from 4-7PM

​

Regular Gallery Hours from 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

​

 Ever/After is a collaborative multimedia art project that consists of photographs by Marion Belanger and ink paintings and collage by Martha Willette Lewis. This visual dialogue grew from their shared state of unease and concern regarding the climate/environmental crisis. Belanger makes photographs in the field and prints them on lightweight but durable rice paper that Lewis then soaks, stains, tears and paints upon. The added stress upon the photographic image (some which have already been altered by double exposure and intentional abstraction) symbolically references the damages and disturbances such as extreme storms, forest fires and extinctions that are now so evident in daily life. Manipulated, gilded, stained and torn, the works become artifacts bearing the impact of human touch, just as the land itself does. Fragile and beautiful, Ever/After is a visual lament for the seepages, shifts, losses, extinctions, and extractions made by humankind.  

​

Belanger and Lewis have been collaborating since 2016. They created the permanent installation Insects & Plants: Excavating the Archive at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station in New Haven. The Underneath, an immersive multi-media installation was commissioned by Artspace in 2016. Ever/ After is an ongoing series regarding the threatened environment, and Strange and Beautiful Sound is recent work centered on the coastline of Long Island Sound. 

​

Join our volunteer museum educators for an interactive exploration of highlights from our collection. In a New Light: Five Centuries of British Art features works from the sixteenth century to the present, now on view in a reimagined installation. 

​

Tours meet in the Entrance Court by the Visitor Services desk. 

​

Delve into the domestic world of Lady Eleanor Butler and Lady Sarah Ponsonby, two aristocratic Irishwomen popularly known as the Ladies of Llangollen, who wore men’s garments and lived together for fifty years as a couple in Wales beginning in 1778.

Weekend Leadership Program for LGBTQ+ Community: Voice is Power

Your voice is power — and it’s time to claim it.

​

This immersive weekend retreat is an invitation for LGBTQ+ leaders, creatives, and community to gather in an affirming space to discover and strengthen the power of your voice in leadership.

​

Created by Sébastien Fischmeister Halil (Gestion TISEB Inc.) in collaboration with Amy Tuccio ( Leading to Thrive ), this transformational leadership program will help you reconnect with your authentic voice, explore your life purpose, and strengthen the way you lead in your life, work, and community.

​

In a time when the LGBTQ+ lives are facing increasing discrimination, this is a space for radical authenticity, courage, and collective healing.

​

• EARLY BIRD Gift: 20% off registrations - promo code Leadership2025

​

This program, which is designed to be highly experiential and practical , is divided as follows:

​

• 1 PROGRAM - 1 Weekend – 4 Workshops - 12 full hours of transformation
• 2 WORKSHOPS per Day

​

A full weekend of guided leadership development, connection, and personal/professional transformation.

​

4 Interactive Workshops (12 hours total):

​

• Discover your authentic voice and name your inner saboteurs
• Explore your life mission and values as a queer leader
• Embody your leadership through movement, journaling, and community storytelling
• Craft a tangible project or intention that gives power to your voice

​

This isn’t a lecture — it’s an experience.

​

Each workshop includes self-reflection, group discussions, visualization, creative exercises, and movement practices designed to help you connect with yourself and others.

​

Why This Retreat, and Why Now

​

Right now, queer and trans people are being targeted. It takes energy to keep showing up — for ourselves, for our communities, and for our values. This retreat is a space to lay down that weight, reconnect with yourself, and remember that your voice is power.

​

Come because:

​

• You’ve been navigating a world that wasn’t built for queer brilliance, and you deserve a space where your whole self is welcome.
• You’re tired of second-guessing your instincts and playing small.
• You want to claim your voice and values as a leader — whether in your work, your community, or your personal life.
• You’re craving authentic queer community, healing, and joy.

​

What You’ll Walk Away With

​

• A renewed connection to your authentic voice — the one that’s bold, clear, and rooted in who you truly are.
• Clarity on your life’s mission and the kind of leader you want to be , both within and beyond the LGBTQ+ community.
• New tools and practices for navigating fear, inner criticism, and societal expectations.
• A personal leadership project or intention to bring back into your life and work.
• A supportive community of queer changemakers who get it.
• Rest, joy, and space to just be yourself — no explaining, no code-switching, no shrinking.

​

What This Retreat Includes

​

• Shared overnight accommodations (Friday–Sunday) at the beautiful oceanfront Mercy by the Sea Retreat Center
• 6 nourishing meals
• Limited to 12 participants for an intimate, personalized experience.
• Participant guidebook
• Access to walking paths, meditation spaces, and outdoor gathering areas

​

Practical Information

​

• EARLY BIRD Gift: 20% off registrations - promo code Leadership2025
• Date : October 31 - November 2, 2025
• Location : Mercy by the Sea, 167 Neck Rd, Madison, CT
• Arrival time : 4 PM on Friday, October 31
• Leaving time : 4 PM on Sunday, November 2

​

🌈 Who This Is For

​

• LGBTQ+ folks craving a brave space to lead from their truth
• Emerging and established leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, healers, and organizers
• Anyone longing to reconnect with their voice, power, and purpose

​

You don’t need to be in a formal leadership role to belong here. If you’re moving through the world as a queer person right now — you are leading.

​

What to bring?

​

• Comfortable clothes (layers) for workshops and movement
• A jacket or sweater, as we will be spending time outside
• A fun costume for Halloween that represents your authentic voice
• A journal + pen
• An open heart
• Ear plugs and/or eye mask (optional, but helpful for shared rooms)
• Any toiletries or prescription medications that you may need

From Frank Pepe’s original hat to celebrity-signed pizza boxes (including Gwyneth Paltrow and Yogi Berra!), if you love the crust, the crunch and the char of New Haven apizza, or simply have strong views on what comprises a good pie, you’ll find something to feed your personal pizza passion in the new exhibit “Pronounced Ah-Beetz,” open now at the New Haven Museum (NHM) through October 2027.

​

“Pronounced Ah-Beetz” examines the fun, the flavor and the history of pizza, including its origin as an affordable means of feeding workers in the fields of Italy, and how it became the food of the poor in the U.S. The Italian migration to New Haven gave way to Frank Pepe’s Pizzeria Napoletana, which gave birth to Sally’s Apizza, while a mile away Tony’s Apizza became Modern. How these three establishments became among the most iconically loved pizza restaurants in the country is a major focus.

​

While the exhibit highlights the “Big 3” original apizza spots in New Haven, it also extends through the family tree of New Haven pizzerias to present a picture of family, food and community that includes a host of other local pizzerias, including: Ernie’s, Zuppardi’s, BAR, Zeneli’s, Olde World, and the Big Green Pizza Truck, among others.

 EVER / AFTER

​

Marion Belanger and Martha Willette Lewis (Collaborators)

​

October 30 - December 8, 2025

​

Located in The Workshop Gallery, Building 3.

​

Opening Reception on Thursday, October 30th from 4-7PM

​

Regular Gallery Hours from 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

​

 Ever/After is a collaborative multimedia art project that consists of photographs by Marion Belanger and ink paintings and collage by Martha Willette Lewis. This visual dialogue grew from their shared state of unease and concern regarding the climate/environmental crisis. Belanger makes photographs in the field and prints them on lightweight but durable rice paper that Lewis then soaks, stains, tears and paints upon. The added stress upon the photographic image (some which have already been altered by double exposure and intentional abstraction) symbolically references the damages and disturbances such as extreme storms, forest fires and extinctions that are now so evident in daily life. Manipulated, gilded, stained and torn, the works become artifacts bearing the impact of human touch, just as the land itself does. Fragile and beautiful, Ever/After is a visual lament for the seepages, shifts, losses, extinctions, and extractions made by humankind.  

​

Belanger and Lewis have been collaborating since 2016. They created the permanent installation Insects & Plants: Excavating the Archive at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station in New Haven. The Underneath, an immersive multi-media installation was commissioned by Artspace in 2016. Ever/ After is an ongoing series regarding the threatened environment, and Strange and Beautiful Sound is recent work centered on the coastline of Long Island Sound. 

​

In this acrylic class for beginners to intermediate participants will choose their subject matter from their own photographs or photographs brought to class by the instructor. First class will start with a discussion and demo of canvas preparation and other acrylic medium elements. During each class painting techniques will be discussed and demonstrated such as blending colors, composition, lighting and scale. Instructor will bring in several of his own paintings to highlight these techniques. Each participant will complete one painting by the end of the 5-week session. All participants will have individual guidance at their own level as needed. Material list available upon registration.

Stop by in your best scientist swag for this storytime and signing with beloved community member, Ainissa Ramirez. An award-winning materials scientist and author, Ainissa has written books for adults and is making her kidlit debut with [Spark: Jim West's Electrifying Adventures in Creating the Microphone](https://www.possiblefuturesbooks.com/item/fDcyhWd7aivWFcutYmHqQ)_, a children’s biography of the inventor of the microphone, Jim West. Free copy of this new gem for any young reader who arrives dressed as the scientist we know they can become... Join us!

​

More about the book:

​

In this first picture book in the Black Innovators series, meet the insatiably curious Jim West, who invented a vital piece of the device we all carry in our pockets—transforming how the world communicates today.

​

Young Jim West loves to pull apart whatever electronics he can get his hands on to see how they work. Those around him say there’s no path for a kid like him to become a scientist, but Jim is determined to forge his own way. His knack for all things electric (and luck in landing a summer job offering the freedom to experiment) lead him to invent an important part of the devices we rely on every day. In this picture book biography for science lovers, future inventors, and anyone aiming to inspire the next generation, author Ainissa Ramirez shares the story of the man who patented the foil-electret microphone, a unit integral to everything from cell phones to hearing aids. Just as Jim West’s advocacy for more diversity in the field paved the way for many scientists of color to follow, Spark inspires readers of all ages to follow their curiosity—and see what it ignites. Back matter provides an author’s note, a time line, a bibliography, and more information on the life and work of Jim West.

​

More about Ainissa:

​

Ainissa Ramirez dreamed of becoming a scientist since she was a little girl. She got the idea after seeing an African American girl solve problems on a television show called 3-2-1 Contact. In that moment, Ainissa saw her reflection. She later earned her doctorate in materials science from Stanford and worked at Bell Labs, where she met Jim West. She wrote this book—the first of a planned trilogy about Black innovators—so that others can see their reflections in science, too. You can find out more about Ainissa Ramirez at www.ainissaramirez.com.

​

More about James:

​

James Edward West, Ph.D., a Bell Laboratories Fellow at Lucent Technologies, is a renowned expert in acoustics. His pioneering work in the 1960s, with co-inventor Gerhard Sessler, led to the invention of the foil electret microphone. Today, 90% of the 2 billion microphones manufactured yearly are electret microphones. These microphones are used in items from recording equipment and professional sound measurement instruments to phones, hearing aids, baby monitors, toys, and computers. Holding over 200 patents, Dr. West’s innovations have transformed sound recording and communications worldwide.

​

Dr. West is a staunch advocate of diversity in STEM education. While at Bell Labs, he was instrumental in coordinating a summer research program to improve diversity for women and underrepresented persons of color throughout the operating companies of AT&T.

​

Dr. West is a professor at Johns Hopkins University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Read more in the National Inventors Hall of Fame https://www.invent.org/inductees/james-ewest
