Cohen Auditorium

As part of its Lecture Series, <a href="https://ocdct.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">OCD Connecticut</a> is excited to announce that it is hosting a presentation by Christopher Pittenger, MD, PhD, director of the Yale OCD Research Clinic. Dr. Pittenger will discuss how cognitive-behavioral therapy affects the brain.
Mark your calendars! Dr. Pittenger's highly anticipated lecture—one of OCD Connecticut's premier events of the year—will be held on the evening of Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 6:30 pm in the Cohen Auditorium at the Yale Child Study Center, 230 S. Frontage Road, NIHB E-02, New Haven, CT. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
Dr. Pittenger earned his MD and PhD degrees from Columbia University, where his graduate work was done with Nobel Prize recipient Eric Kandel. He returned to Yale University, his undergraduate alma mater, for residency and research training in psychiatry in 2003. He joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2007 and is now Elizabeth Mears and House Jameson Professor of Psychiatry, Professor of Psychology and in the Child Study Center, and Deputy Chair for Translational Research in the Department of Psychiatry.
Dr. Pittenger has always been fascinated by the question of how the brain, a complex but ultimately a physical structure, creates thought, feeling, consciousness, and other aspects of the mind. As a psychiatrist, he is additionally focused on how these processes go wrong—how brain dysregulation leads to dysregulated cognition, emotion, and behavior and to mental suffering, and how advancing our understanding of these relationships can guide us to new strategies to alleviate that suffering.

Trumbull Congregational Church

If the arrival of Spring has you eager to explore new pursuits, Trumbull Congregational Church has begun another series of evening events designed to provide the perfect mid-week emotional boost. Called Wellness Wednesdays at TCC, the series, which proved popular during the winter and now runs through June 10, features three different activities aimed at addressing the mind, body and spirit: meditation classes and gentle yoga sessions, as well as a mandala workshop where attendees will learn to paint the geometric artworks that historically have symbolized the universe and are often used in meditation. The secular programs, which will take place at the church at 3115 Reservoir Avenue, are open to all members of the community, and require no prior experience in any of the activities. “The overall intent of this series is to create mindful moments for participants,” says Kirsten Nestro, a Trauma-informed Certified Instructor in Mindfulness Meditation who will be leading two of the sessions. “We want to enable attendees to cultivate connections to their true selves through creativity, movement and stillness.” The schedule and fees for the three activities are as follows:
<ul><li>Meditation – 6-7 p.m. on May 13 and May 20. Participation is $15 per session, or $25 for both.</li><li>Gentle Yoga – 6-7 p.m. on June 3 and June 10. Participation is $15 per session, or $25 for both.</li><li>Mandala Art – 6-8 p.m. on May 27. Participation is $40, with all materials included.</li></ul>
To register for any of the sessions, simply <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjW713Snb9pwq-8mVoIWPIJUEoO-XYCcIbU_vi3yPdy3sULw/viewform?pli=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">click this link.</a>&nbsp;Advance registration is required only for the mandala workshop so the instructor can prepare the proper number of materials; otherwise, drop-ins are welcome.

Join Weekly Wellness Sessions Through June 10 To Aid Mind, Body & Spirit

The Trumbull Library continues its Past, Present, and Pages America 250 series with a fascinating look at one of Connecticut's most influential artists. John Trumbull is best known for creating the iconic images that shaped how generations of Americans have imagined the Revolutionary era and the nation's founders, including his famous paintings of the Declaration of Independence and other pivotal moments in American history.
Presented by Connecticut State Historian Emeritus Walter W. Woodward, this richly illustrated lecture explores Trumbull's lifelong struggle to gain recognition for his art at a time when artists were rarely held in high regard. Woodward also examines the complicated relationship between Trumbull and his father, Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull, revealing a compelling Connecticut family story behind some of America's most enduring images.
