Waltham Museum

Join us for an evening with Charles J. Whalen, WHS class of ’78, an award-winning economist and author of the forthcoming book Fighting for the American Dream: From Blue-Collar Kid to Maverick Economist, The Battle to Defend Working Families. Charles’s book explores the decades-long erosion of the American Dream through the lens of a career memoir.Fighting for the American Dream traces the transformation of the US economy since WWII from the author's perspective: a working-class kid who became the first in his family to attend college, pursued a career advocating for working families, and navigated through the same currents of job insecurity as those he aimed to defend. The book urges an overdue public discussion of the need to shape a prosperous, sustainable, and humane economy for all.
Charles is a research fellow at the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy, University at Buffalo. His career spans four decades, including work at the Congressional Budget Office, BusinessWeek, and Cornell University. Fighting for the American Dream is his ninth book.
Charles’s book is published by Bloomsbury and becomes available September 3rd. It can be ordered now from all major book sellers (such as Amazon.com) and the publisher (Bloomsbury.com). A discount code will be available to all who attend the event.

Looking to deepen your spiritual practice and or enhance your self-care routine? Usui Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy healing modality and spiritual practice that offers a simple, supportive way to encourage relaxation, inner balance, and a greater sense of connection to yourself and others.

In this Reiki One class, you will be introduced to the foundations of Reiki in a welcoming, accessible environment. Whether you are brand new to energy work or returning to refresh your practice, this class is designed to help you build confidence, understand the basics, and begin using Reiki as part of everyday self-care.

Together, we will explore the history and benefits of Reiki, learn traditional Reiki hand positions, and discuss how Reiki can be offered informally to family members and loved ones.

You will also learn foundational energy management practices and chakra basics, giving you practical tools to support your own well-being and approach Reiki with clarity, care, and grounded intention.

This class is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who feels called to begin a Reiki practice, reconnect with the basics, or share the experience with a friend or family member who is ready to learn.
