SUMMARY:Middletown Township Public Library Presents: Sara Wuillermin - Journaling about Grief
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Community History Project\, Middletown Township Public Library is hosting a series of lectures that explore the history of Middletown Township\, Monmouth County\, and New Jersey. \n— \nSara Wuillermin\, one of the founding members of the literary journal “Mourning Papers\,” will discuss how she’s used writing as an outlet for her personal grief and how it’s allowed her to process it into a way to connect meaningfully with others. The second half will focus on exploring grief through writing exercises using prompts. Registration is not necessary but encouraged since space is limited – walk-ins are welcome! \nSara Wuillermin is also the creator of the “Bury Me in New Jersey” podcast and blog. \nThis event is part of the library’s Community History Project\, and was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities\, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Ritual4Return Men’s Rite of Passage
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to attend and participate in the Men’s Rite of Passage for members of the Ritual4Return 2026 Spring Cohort. \nRitual4Return\, supported by multiple NJCH grants\, is a 14-week course through which returning citizens engage with and explore the many aspects of their own experiences getting into\, through\, and out of prison. \nReading from a wide variety of source materials and then trying to understand them through dialogue\, writing\, movement exercises\, and theatrical devising techniques\, participants explore — individually and collectively — themes like Home\, Sin\, Judgement\, Punishment\, Exile\, Bondage\, Trauma\, Grief\, Freedom\, Repair\, Forgiveness\, Justice\, and Homecoming. \nThe process culminates with a one-time-only public ritual marking and celebrating the end of incarceration and the beginning of an individual’s new identity within the community. This rite of passage is the centerpiece of a one-day gathering that aims to extend the conversation to family members\, loved ones\, and other community stakeholders who care about the impacts of incarceration. \nRitual Schedule \n1:30 pm Doors Open\n2:00pm Ritual4Return\n4:00 Community Reception \nTickets are free\, and audience members play an active role in welcoming returning citizens back to the community: https://canvas.perkinsarts.org/events/374. \nRitual4Return was awarded the 2024 Stanley N. Katz Prize for Excellence in Public Humanities. Read more about the program and award at https://njhumanities.org/katz-prize-2024/.
