Rave On for the Avon Screening Date: 15th May 2025 Time: 18:45 for pre-drinks, 19:30 screening start Location: Westbourne Club, River Street, Westbourne, PO10 8TG Film Rating: 12A Join us for a special screening of Rave On for the Avon , an inspiring documentary exploring the intersection of music, community, and environmental activism along the River Avon. This powerful film highlights the urgent need to protect our waterways and the creative movements driving change. As a small charity dedicated to improving water quality, the Final Straw Foundation is hosting this event to raise awareness and spark conversations about the challenges facing our rivers and coastline. After the screening, we’ll have a discussion about local water quality issues and ways we can take action. Come along to learn, connect, and be inspired! From the Filmmakers: Do humans have the right to nature? In this tender film, Director Charlotte Sawyer tells a story of a community of wild swimmers in Bristol (UK) affected by raw sewage pollution of the river Avon. England is one of the only two countries in the world to have a fully privatised water and sewage disposal system, and with only 14% of English rivers in good ecological health, the mission to keep the rivers clean is not going well. In a series of moving, exciting and thought-provoking scenes, the swimmers create a stunning, light-hearted yet fascinating tapestry, probing how activism starts from the grassroots, and carries a profound universal lesson for all of us. There’s a marriage to the river, drum’n’bass, a mermaid who tows an inflatable turd, and a whole lot of cheesecake in this poignant reflection on people’s innovative battles for the natural world they cherish. There will be a bar at the event with the option to purchase drinks. Doors open at 18:45 for pre-drinks, the film will start at 19:30. Information Source: Final Straw Foundation | eventbrite

Join us for a lecture by Mayor Shiro Suzuki of Nagasaki on May 1, followed by two high-profile guest panels on May 2 discussing the role of cities in nuclear policy and security, as well as intergenerational nuclear justice. The events will take place in Abbott Auditorium, located in Pancoe Pavilion. Information Source: Mapping Nuclear Legacies | eventbrite

Established in 1984 with Murray Bowen as the sole presenter, the symposium has evolved to feature Dan Papero as the primary speaker and, since 1990, a guest scientist each year. The event ensures Bowen family systems theory remains grounded in the natural sciences by inviting experts from fields such as neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and primatology. The guest scientist for this year’s symposium is Dr. Patrick McGowan, Professor of Cell and Systems Biology, Psychology and Physiology at the University of Toronto. His area of research has been the epigenetic mechanisms of neurodevelopment and behavior, particularly on the impact of adversity during early development. Dr. McGowan’s specific focus is on the role of parental factors early in life in altering the function of genes involved in the response to stress. The symposium also features short papers by Bowen theorists and clinicians, covering research, clinical applications, and interdisciplinary integration. Keynote Presenters: Daniel V. Papero, PhD, LCSW Bowen’s research led him to propose that the family functioned as a unit, system or organism. This perspective allowed him to investigate how the unit operated or responded to various challenges that required an adaptive response. Beyond characteristics, Bowen gradually described the processes of response that shape adaptive behavior. This talk will focus on the functioning of the family system as the unit faces change and challenge. The objective will be to describe the processes within the family system as they operate in response to conditions encountered both within the family system and external to it. The talk will be divided into two parts. Patrick O. McGowan, PhD In recent decades a revolution has occurred in our understanding of how experience in the current and previous generations can affect the expression or silencing of genes influencing the development of emotional and physical health throughout the life span. The field of epigenetics has shed light on how the family emotional system can have such a profound influence on the health and behavior of its members. One of the exciting discoveries is that the impact of the epigenetic influence on genes related to early life stressful experiences and intergenerational transmission are potentially reversible.
