This is the final event in the Women of Chilmark lecture series, with Professor Jody Cripps of Clemson University in American Sign Language (ASL) with a translator. The history of the deaf community in Chilmark is well-known, but what was the life of deaf residents actually like? In this lecture, Professor Jody Cripps of Clemson University will focus on the life of Katie West, the last known signer of Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL) as well as introduce the audience to some of the unique signs of MVSL. Katie West’s house, on the corner of Beetlebung Farm, is now part of the Chilmark Public Library.
In this talk, Rinpoche will share practical and profound teachings from The Tibetan Book of Success: A Guide to Relationships, Leadership, Communication, and Happiness, his newly released collection drawn from a rich tradition of secular Tibetan literature. He will also explore themes such as communication, integrity, compassion, leadership, and wise action, and how these enduring principles continue to offer practical guidance for everyday life and can help us cultivate greater happiness, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.
Join renowned meditation master Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche for a special workshop exploring how meditation can improve and transform our lives.
