Presented by Creativity Integrators: Cherylle Garnes, and Janet Johnson,

A workshop that correlates creativity to the 7 Intelligences (first presented in Dr. Howard Gardner’s book Frames of Mind.) You will discover which intelligence your superpower fits. We will provide creative exercises and examples that involve all 7 intelligences. 

Come prepared to speak, think, interact with others, move, learn and have fun as you discover you own personal creativity mindset. Revised information will be provided. Come a little early for a bonus.

Move over spelling bee. Just because you can spell a word doesn’t mean you know how to use it. From the editors of The American Heritage Dictionary comes the Define-a-Thon, a competitive word challenge.

Come see the best definers at MIT. Open to all in the MIT community: students, staff, faculty.

Audience members who are not competing, just drop in.  No need to sign up.  

Our word caller is Toastmaster Mary Agnes Mullowney.

Have you ever felt possessed by anger, sadness or jealousy? Challenging emotions can consume our energy, get us off track, and damage the quality of our lives and relationships. The anger that makes our blood boil and stomach turn, the sadness that leaves us feeling hollow and heavy, and the jealousy that releases poisonous bitterness sometimes intertwine and beat us down. Events that trigger these emotions can be big or small; such as being cut off on the road, being treated unfairly at work, a breakup, loss of a loved one, not getting the job, respect, or attention we wish to have.

This interactive workshop provides several techniques that help you to process challenging emotions and have a better understanding of your circumstances. These steps can lead to the ultimate solution for you to feel better and stronger. Bring the difficult situations you encounter to the workshop and we will discuss the possible approaches to take. Please email for classroom information and to reserve a space.
