Presentation: On the Psychology of Comedy What is comedy? Why is it so often paired with its dark twin tragedy? Why do we laugh? Is comedy healthy, or pathological? (Freud, who was rather dour, wrote a book on the subject, and Jung, known for his earthy humor and voluminous laugh, did not). How does comedy reveal both the admirable and repulsive in our nature, our vulgarity and our sublimity?

Nature and Art: Restorative Environments for Anxious Times Through psychology and environmental research, we are learning that one of the best antidotes for human anxiety is a restorative environment in nature, yet we find such places harder and harder to find. When pressure builds in the human psyche, people will say they want to “get away from it all,” but get away to where? We don’t heal ourselves with long lines at airports and selfies in front of famous places. This program will explore how certain landscapes and landscape art provide antidotes for our restlessness, alienation, and despair.
Join us via Zoom for Dr. Ruhl’s presentation with audience questions on Friday, March 14, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.

Restorative Visions of Nature in Japanese Art Landscapes are not just interesting -- they can be healing. For more than a century Americans have dreamed of escape through Japanese prints, with their beautiful, bucolic scenes of nature. Of the tens of thousands of Japanese prints purchased by Americans in recent decades, 90 percent are landscapes. Modern Japanese prints are the most affordable and democratic of art forms. Through the lenses of Shintoism, Buddhism, and modern psychology we will explore numerous modern Japanese prints and discuss how and why certain landscapes and landscape art portray elements that we find calming, interesting, and restorative.
