SUMMARY:Equity Series Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a group discussion on supporting health at work\, led by Carrie Hirdes\, followed by a session of desk-format meditation and sound healing by local yogi Lesley Monroy \nWomen’s health challenges are often treated as private issues\, limiting transparency\, empathy\, and meaningful support. The 2026 Equity Series brings these experiences to the forefront to highlight how individuals and leaders can reshape workplaces to better reflect the realities of women’s lives. \nThis workshop aims to help participants in grounding their lived experiences within the broader context of workplace wellbeing and equipping attendees with practices that provide relief during times of high-stress. \nPart I \nChaplain Carrie Hirdes (Memorial Hermann Hospital) will lead participants to discuss current hot topics such as burnout\, unconscious biases\, and the responsibilities businesses and leaders have to the health of their employees. In addition\, the group will discuss their individual perspectives and what responsibilities we have to ourselves to maintain personal health and goals. \nPart II \nLesley Monroy will guide participants through one hour of a combination of sound healing and meditation that focuses on personal reflection. This session will be a “desk-format” meditation that provides an avenue to acknowledge anxiety and reduce mental noise in a proactive way. \n\n\n\n\nLESLEY MONROY – Yoga Teacher \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYoga has been an integral part of my life for over two decades\, and as I transitioned from practitioner to instructor over the past six years\, I have maintained my commitment as a lifelong student of this discipline. I am grateful to hold three yoga certifications and am eagerly pursuing further education to enhance my ability to serve you better. My approach is centered on fostering deep\, trusting relationships with my students\, providing a safe space where transformation can occur. This trust enables us to explore the physical and emotional benefits of yoga together\, helping each individual feel more connected\, loved\, and grounded. \nOutside of the studio\, my life is joyfully simple\, shared with my husband and three beloved pets. I am an avid camper and an enthusiastic plant caretaker\, with aspirations to explore all of America’s national parks. \nAIA Credit: 2.0 LU \n\n\n\nOnline registration closes Wednesday\, March 4\, end of day\nA minimum of 3 days’ notice is required to receive a full refund if you need to cancel your reservation.  Registration is transferable.\nSpace is limited\n\n\n\n  \n  \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! \nEquity Panel Discussion & Workshop \n                                                                     \nInterested in Sponsorship? \nPlease consider becoming a sponsor of the Equity Series Panel Discussion & Workshop.

SUMMARY:MFAH Antiques Dealers Association Annual Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, the MFAH acquired by gift two rare\, rediscovered pieces of Greene & Greene furniture from the architects’ famed 1907 Blacker House\, a masterwork of Arts & Crafts architecture in Pasadena\, California. Dispersed in a yard sale with other contents from the house in 1947\, the music cabinet and chair were bought by a Texas family and remained in that collection until they were donated to the Museum. The cabinet is a unique piece\, made specifically for the living room of the historic house. \nThis lecture positions the Blacker House as the culmination of the Greenes’ Arts & Crafts architecture—with the Museum’s recent acquisitions from the house providing a lens on the brothers’ design philosophy. In their “ultimate bungalows” in Pasadena\, the architects created a distinctly Californian architecture that fused British Arts & Crafts ideals\, American vernacular traditions\, and Asian aesthetic principles. Close analysis reveals the Blacker House as the epitome of a fully realized Gesamtkunstwerk\, where architecture\, furnishings\, and landscape were conceived as an integrated whole. \nAbout the Speaker\nWendy Kaplan has been at LACMA since 2001 as the department head and curator of decorative arts and design. She has held curatorial positions at the Wolfsonian-Florida International University in Miami\, Glasgow Museums in Scotland\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. A leading expert on late 19th- and 20th-century design\, she has authored\, co-authored\, or edited books including Found in Translation: Design in California and Mexico\, 1915–1985 and California Design\, 1930–1965: “Living in a Modern Way.” Kaplan is currently organizing the exhibition Home of the Future\, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias for LACMA.
