The Rockport Conservation Commission welcomes Professor Thomas Bateman to the Rockport Public Library for a presentation titled “Stress and Effective Coping as Our Climate Changes.” The talk will take place in the library’s lower level on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 6 p.m. Bateman notes that—with regard to climate change—scientific causes, disasters, and technical solutions receive the bulk of public attention and coverage. “We need to attend more, and better, to ourselves,” asserts Bateman. “This includes climate stress and coping strategies, which can strengthen both personal and community resilience.” The program will explore customizing pro-climate actions in ways that 1) aren’t too costly, 2) suit personal interests and skills, 3) are satisfyingly impactful, and 4) contribute to needed system changes. This talk will not be about personal carbon footprints. Thomas S. Bateman, D.B.A. is the Bank of America Professor Emeritus of Commerce at UVA McIntire School of Commerce. Bateman specializes in organizational behavior and strategic leadership. He conducts research on proactive behavior, problem solving, and job stress in organizational contexts and as behavioral challenges in the domain of climate change.

Halloween through New Year’s Day seems to mark the "Season of Indulgent Eating” for most Americans. However, your digestion can feel wonky at any time of the year. Join clinical herbalist Mo Katz-Christy at the Rockport Public Library for a 90-min. program about herbs that can help to regulate, nourish, and heal your digestive system. Did you know that our gut sends more messages to our brain than our brain sends to our gut? Or that the liver can regulate our hormones? Or that most of our immune system is in our gut? Whenever our body is dysregulated, the gut is likely to play a role in healing. Katz-Christy will discuss how our bodies evolved with plants and how we can work with them to regulate our gut, and in doing so, our whole bodies. Mo Katz-Christy (they/them) graduated from a three-year clinical herbalism program at the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism in 2022. They are a community education and also work one-on-one with clients to address root imbalances that cause dysregulation and to promote long-term healing.
