Opera Theatre of Saint Louis presents the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, accompanied by members of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. 

She was a force of nature. He got swept up. Free, rebellious, and beautiful, Carmen is the most desired woman in town. Every man wants her, and every woman envies her. Sparks fly when Carmen meets the young soldier Don José, and they quickly begin a passionate affair. José is ready to sacrifice everything for Carmen: his reputation, his career, even his family. But when Carmen leaves José for the handsome bullfighter Escamillo, a tangled web of lust, obsession, and jealousy play out to fatal effect.

All performances are sung in English with projected supertitles and accompanied by members of the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

Nya B, MA, NCC, LPC and the founder of S Brown Counseling will host her “Get Out of Your Way: 5 Self-Sabotaging Behaviors to Let Go” event on Saturday, May 21 at the Brentwood Community Center from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The event is a workshop geared towards helping those experiencing professional or personal burnout overcome their self-sabotaging behaviors to lead to a healthier and happier life. When professionals may experience depression or feel anxious, there is a longstanding pressure to ignore their own needs as they help their clients through their journeys.  Nya B has designed a tool to help identify self-sabotaging behaviors that many individuals engage in on a daily basis, particularly those that can lead to mental illness. This is a tool that professionals can also use with their clients to improve treatment planning and assessment. 

Participants will take an assessment on their own self-sabotaging behaviors and get insight on their scores. Then, Nya B will help attendees identify negative behaviors and learn skills, tools and strategies to manage or decrease self-sabotaging behaviors and lead a Q&A session at the end of the event. Lunch will also be provided. Tickets are $125 for individuals. Learn more and book your spot today at https://nya-b.com/events

Get Out of Your Way: 5 Self Sabotaging Behaviors to Let Go has been approved by NBCC for NBCC credit. S Brown Counseling is solely responsible for all aspects of the program. NBCC Approval No. SP-3866.

Seven remarkable women all pondering the work of “de” and “re” in some way have come together for this exhibition to share the poetry that is this lifelong, generational process of doing and undoing and doing. 

Of unlearning and remaking. 

Of leaving and becoming. 

Of holding cultural histories dear and forming new cultural contexts.

Of building new communities of individual and shared identities.

This exhibition of photographic work is an invitation to ponder the kinds of constructions that compose every aspect of our lives. This artwork is an invitation to wonder at our abilities as humans to deconstruct those things which do not serve us or our communities well, and the even more remarkable tenacity we have to reconstruct new possibilities for our future.  

FEATURING: Natalie Christensen, Connie Flores, Carol Lara, Brea Youngblood, Tiffany J. Sutton, Aïda Hasanović, and April Parviz
