Hospice Santa Barbara
to Speak at The Marjorie Luke
By Mark M. Whitehurst, PhD / VOICE B AKING STORIES THAT MAKE SENSE AND A LITTLE BREAD TOO, Noah benShea will bring his wit and wisdom to the Marjorie Luke in a conversation called “An Evening with Noah benShea and Jacob the Baker.” benShea is a local resident and Jacob is an igneous and jocose character in benShea’s books. While it may be hard to tell who is who, for sure the talk will begin at 7:30pm on February 11th.
benShea took some of his precious time to answer a few questions from VOICE via email this week. VOICE: When did you know you were going to be a poet philosopher? NOAH benSHEA: I had been selected for a US State Department program and was in Calcutta on the eve of my 21st birthday. That night I knew the calling. VOICE: Do you have a favorite philosopher? benSHEA: I have two favorite philosophers: my mother and my father.
Their teaching was that love, family, and caring are triumphant. VOICE: What do you enjoy most about writing ~ about Jacob or through his voice? benSHEA: (Noah benShea in the voice of Jacob the Baker) “Jacob the Baker is a reed. And the breath of God blows through him. Makes music of him. My pleasure is also my prayer. And my prayer is that my work will be a source of strength to others... Of all the things you can make in life, why not make a difference.” VOICE: Do you have a big dream for the world? benSHEA: In the land of big dreams, our work isn’t what we do, but who we are. In the latest Jacob book, We Are All Jacob’s Children, please find this ‘big dream’: “People of all faiths are of one faith, if their religion is kindness.”
– (Noah benShea in the voice of Jacob the Baker) VOICE: When interviewed, what question do you most enjoy being asked? benSHEA: I don’t know if this is the question I most like being asked, but it is surely the question I am most often asked: “Are you and Jacob the same person?” And my reply is: “Yes, Jacob and I are the same person, except I am the one with character flaws.” Now that Jacob and I have been together for fifty years, I find that this reply still holds true. VOICE: Finally, an open ended question: Is there anything in particular you would like to tell our readers? benSHEA: To your readers from an ally on the journey, perhaps give this meditation your pause and reflection:
In gratitude find prayer. In prayer find faith. In faith find grace. In grace find peace. In peace find gratitude. - Noah benShea / We Are All Jacob’s Children VOICE: How would you describe your process for writing? benSHEA: Many years ago I woke up in a hotel room in London and discovered next to my bed this note scribbled in my hand, “I write things wiser than I am.” My “process for writing” begins with slipping the bonds of ego. Aristotle wrote, “Honesty is the portal to all wisdom.” Well, if honesty is the portal to all honesty; humility is the portal to all honesty. Noah benShea is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated, internationally best-selling author of 28 books that have been translated into 18 languages, including the Jacob The Baker series. In these books, the central figure is Jacob The Baker, a poor but pious baker living an anonymous life in a timeless world. While waiting for the ovens to heat, Jacob writes notes to himself, trying to make sense of life to himself. One morning while waiting for the ovens to warm, one of his notes fell into the dough and was baked in a loaf of bread. The woman who bought the bread is profoundly moved and rushes to the bakery to see who wrote it. Word spread rapidly and soon people from the village and from far and wide came to the bakery to seek Jacob’s wisdom and teachings. Noah benShea

By David Selberg, CEO Hospice of SB S PIRITUALITY MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Religion and faith might be part of someone’s spirituality, but spirituality isn’t always religious. Everyone has spiritual needs throughout their lives and this can be in the form of a “higher power,” a connection to the universe, nature, art, etc. and may guide our ethical and moral compass as we go through life.
At Hospice of Santa Barbara, Spiritual Care has been an integral part of our work since our inception and is available when a patient, family member, or caregiver request it. Th is work can take place in our offi ces, in client homes, and in care facilities including Sarah House and local skilled nursing facilities. Spiritual Care Counselors explore the spiritual issues surrounding end-of-life and provide consultation about meaning, hope, isolation and loss. Th ey off er an open and honest venue for life review and reconciliation, which may include regrets and forgiveness. Th ey may also address concerns about dying, suff ering beforehand, and what happens aft erwards.
Spiritual care can allow the dying a release from suff ering and a sense of peace in their fi nal days. It can also be important for those looking for answers and comfort as a result of the loss of a loved one and is a component of our grief support services. Hospice of Santa Barbara is also able to refer, coordinate, and reconnect folks to their own faith communities for specifi c spiritual rituals or rites.
“Spiritual Care is here to support individuals and families as they begin to process these questions without any agenda,” explained our Spiritual Care Counselor, Rev. Kristen Rohm about our Spiritual Care program. “We create a safe space for them to engage and to face what they fear, and to gradually make some peace with it. Religious traditions have various answers and strategies for these issues, and are of tremendous and eff ective support and comfort for many. Th ey may also cause stress or fear for a few. Spiritual Care helps folks connect more deeply with what works for them and process or release what doesn’t. We utilize whatever sacred language and spiritual practices the person uses, following their unique beliefs and supporting and encouraging their faith.” With all of this in mind, I am pleased to announce an upcoming educational component to spirituality—a focus on diff erent religious traditions as they relate to death and dying as part of our Learn @ Lunch series at Hospice of Santa Barbara. Hospice of Santa Barbara will host eight Friday Learn @ Lunch Sessions, each featuring a leader from a diff erent religious tradition to address death and dying from that perspective. Each will review common concerns, beliefs, and rituals around end-of-life issues and practices within their tradition.
Bring your lunch and join Hospice of Santa Barbara for this free, ongoing series, held from 12 to 1pm on the third Friday of the month. Th e offi ce is located at 2050 Alameda Padre Serra #100. Meet in the Conference Room.
Th e next Learn at Lunch, as part of this series, is Friday, February 21st with Art Cisneros, a Chumash Leader and Firekeeper. He will be followed by Rev. Elizabeth Molitors, Protestant Rector from Trinity Episcopal Church, on Friday March 20th; Pravrajika Vrajaprana from the Vedanta Temple, on Friday, April 17th; and Cantor Mark Childs from Congregation B’nai Brith on Friday, May 15th.
Space is limited. Please RSVP for the Learn @ Lunch presentations by calling 805- 563-8820. Be well, David Selberg CEO, Hospice of SB David Selberg, CEO Hospice of SB
Por David Selberg, CEO Hospice of SB L A ESPIRITUALIDAD SIGNIFICA COSAS DIFERENTES PARA DIFERENTES PERSONAS. La religión y la fe pueden ser parte de la espiritualidad de alguien, pero la espiritualidad no siempre es religiosa. Todos tienen necesidades espirituales a lo largo de sus vidas y esto puede ser en forma de un “poder superior,” una conexión con el universo, la naturaleza, el arte, etc. y puede guiar nuestra brújula ética y moral a medida que avanzamos en la vida. En Hospice of Santa Barbara, el cuidado espiritual ha sido una parte integral de nuestro trabajo desde nuestros inicios y está disponible cuando un paciente, un familiar o un cuidador lo solicitan. Este trabajo puede llevarse a cabo en nuestras ofi cinas, en hogares de clientes y en centros de atención, incluyendo Sarah House y centros locales de enfermería especializada. Los consejeros de cuidado espiritual exploran los problemas espirituales que rodean el fi nal de la vida y brindan consultas sobre el signifi cado, la esperanza, el aislamiento y la pérdida. Ofrecen un lugar abierto y honesto para la revisión y reconciliación de la vida, que puede incluir arrepentimientos y perdón. También pueden abordar las preocupaciones sobre la muerte, el sufrimiento de antemano y lo que sucede después.
El cuidado espiritual puede permitir a los moribundos una liberación del sufrimiento y una sensación de paz en sus últimos días. También puede ser importante para aquellos que buscan respuestas y consuelo como resultado de la pérdida de un ser querido y es un componente de nuestros servicios de apoyo para el duelo. Hospice of Santa Barbara también puede referir, coordinar y volver a conectar a las personas con sus propias comunidades religiosas para rituales o ritos espirituales específi cos.
“El Cuidado Espiritual está aquí para apoyar a las personas y las familias a medida que comienzan
a procesar estas preguntas sin ninguna agenda,” explicó nuestra Consejera de Cuidado Espiritual, Rev. Kristen Rohm, sobre nuestro programa de Cuidado Espiritual. “Creamos un espacio seguro para que participen y enfrenten lo que temen, y gradualmente hagan las paces con él. Las tradiciones religiosas tienen varias respuestas y estrategias para estos problemas, y son de gran y efectivo apoyo y consuelo para muchos. También pueden causar estrés o miedo para unos pocos. El cuidado espiritual ayuda a las personas a conectarse más profundamente con lo que funciona para ellos y a procesar o liberar lo que no funciona. Utilizamos cualquier lenguaje sagrado y prácticas espirituales que la persona usa, siguiendo sus creencias únicas y apoyando y alentando su fe.” Con todo esto en mente, me complace anunciar un próximo componente educativo para la espiritualidad—un enfoque en diferentes tradiciones religiosas relacionadas con la muerte y el morir como parte de nuestra serie “Learn @ Lunch” (Aprende durante el almuerzo) en Hospice of Santa Barbara. Hospice of Santa Barbara organizará ocho sesiones los viernes a la hora del almuerzo, cada una con un líder de una tradición religiosa diferente para abordar la muerte y el morir desde esa perspectiva. Cada uno revisará las preocupaciones, creencias y rituales comunes en torno a los problemas y prácticas al fi nal de la vida dentro de su tradición.
Trae tu almuerzo y únete a Hospice of Santa Barbara para esta serie gratuita y continua, que se llevará a cabo de 12 a 1pm, el tercer viernes de cada mes. La ofi cina está ubicada en 2050 Alameda Padre Serra # 100. El punto de reunión será la sala de conferencias. El próximo “Learn @ Lunch,” como parte de esta serie, es el viernes, 21 de febrero con Art Cisneros, Líder Chumash y “Firekeeper.” Será seguido por la Rev. Elizabeth Molitors, Rectora Protestante de la Iglesia Episcopal Trinity, el viernes, 20 de marzo; Pravrajika Vrajaprana del Templo Vedanta, el viernes, 17 de abril; y el Cantor Mark Childs de la Congregación B’nai Brith el viernes, 15 de mayo.
El espacio es limitado. Reserva tu lugar para las presentaciones de “Learn @ Lunch” llamando al 805-563-8820.

Review by Daniel Kepl / VOICE M ARTHA GRAHAM, arguably the founder of American contemporary dance, graduated Santa Barbara High in 1911 and never looked back, creating the Martha Graham Dance Company in New York City in 1926. Ninty-three years later, Graham having passed in 1991, the company remains one of the most innovative contemporary dance ensembles in the world under the leadership of Janet Eilber, who has been Artistic Director of the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance since 2005.
With only two performances scheduled this season in California - San Diego and Santa Barbara’s Granada Theatre on January 24th - the company presented its homage to the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment which gave the vote to women (The Eve Project) with an evening of choreography created exclusively by women, including Virginie Mécène’s reimagining of Graham’s 1933 ballet Ekstasis, based on Graham’s notes and still photos; Lamentation Variations (2007) created by the choreographic triumvirate of Aszure Barton, Liz Gerring, and Michelle Dorrance; and three iconic masterpieces from Martha Graham’s extensive catalogue, Diversion of Angels (1948), Errand Into the Maze (1947), and Chronicle (1936). Martha Graham knew her music. She was one of the first American choreographers to commission new music by living American composers for her dances. The completely sold out Granada Theatre program opened with Graham’s masterpiece Diversion of Angels (1948) which describes, in colors as well as through Norman Dello Joio’s fabulous score, three aspects of love; mature/white, erotic/red, and adolescent/yellow. An encyclopedic example of Graham’s utterly unique choreographic style, including a prescient exploration of minimalism - still life poses, mesmerizing hieroglyphic movements, geometric patterns informing a larger visual consciousness – the corps and three principal couples performed the piece to perfection, a clear commitment to historic accuracy and respectful live documentation.
Virginie Mécène’s 2017 reworking from historical bits and pieces, of Graham’s 1933 solo piece Ekstasis (1933) was both contemporary – a wonderful score by Ramon Humet – and respectful. Superbly erotic while also celebrating Grahams words, “The body is a sacred garment,” Mécène’s inspired choreography has made this magnificent work whole again, danced by Natasha M. Diamond-Walker with thrilling prescience. Graham’s Errand Into the Maze (1947) to another fabulous score, this time by Gian Carlo Menotti, featured Charlotte Landreau and Lloyd Mayor in what has become one of the great duos of the modern dance repertoire; an often chilling, always intense tour de force of Graham’s eponymous and singular movement signature.
After intermission was a haunting silent film of Graham performing her solo piece Lamentation (1930) as inspirational fingerprint for Lamentation Variations (2007) by choreographers Aszure Barton, Liz Gerring, and Michelle Dorrance. Four composers are tapped; George Crumb, Michael J. Schumacher, Michelle Dorrance, and Jaco Pastorius. A tour de force for three sets of soloists and the entire company, the Barton Variation was danced by Anne O’Donnell and Laurel Dalley Smith, the Gerring Variation by Lloyd Knight with So Young An, Alessio Crognale, and Leslie Andrea Williams. The final Dorrance Variation featured So Young An, Alessio Crognale, Natasha M. Diamond-Walker, Lloyd Knight, Charlotte Landreau, Jacob Larsen, Lloyd Mayor, Marzia Memoli, Anne O’Donnell, and Leslie Andrea Williams. The last work on the program, Graham’s monumental Chronicle (1936) for women dancers, to a gripping score by Wallingford Riegger presages the approach of World War II in three dramatic movements, Spectre – 1914 featuring the magnificently persuasive power of soloist Anne Souder; Steps in the Street, the women of the company entering and marching in total silence at its beginning – unnerving - and Prelude to Action a ritual of preparation for what all the world sensed in 1936 was approaching conflict, to Riegger’s heroically cinematic score. Daniel Kepl has been writing music, theatre, and dance reviews or Santa Barbara publications since he was a teenager. His professional expertise is as an orchestra conductor.

By Kostis Protopapas, Opera Santa Barbara O PERA SANTA BARBARA IS THRILLED TO PRESENT OUR FIRST OPERA IN SPANISH, Il Postino (The Postman) by the great Mexican-American composer Daniel Catán. (Don’t worry if you don’t speak Spanish – the English translation is projected above the stage!) Based on the 1994 Oscar-winning film, it’s a beautiful story about a young man who learns from the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda how to woo the woman of his dreams. We tell the story through lush music by a 28-piece orchestra, gorgeous singing, evocative staging and digital video projections.
Opera is nothing but another form of music theater and we want everyone to feel welcome to try our shows. We want our audience to reflect our community across age, race, and economic status. Thanks to our generous supporters we are able to provide community access tickets and special pricing so more people can see live opera.
And, we do more than just mainstage shows. We perform nearly 30 free concerts in Santa Barbara and Ventura County every year! We host events (often free) throughout the season about opera and the fantastic stories we tell, like pub nights, talk backs, and open rehearsals. And despite opera’s reputation as an artform for the older and well-heeled, we have an enthusiastic and growing young professionals group in their 30s and 40s called OPERACURIOUS (the group’s next activity includes a bike ride and brunch on the beach. Join us!)
There are only two chances to see Il Postino in the intimate Lobero Theatre on March 7th and March 8th. Come experience the magic that Opera Santa Barbara has known for 26 years. For Tickets visit www.lobero.org or call (805) 963-0761. Il Postino (The Postman) Kostis Protopapas, OSB Artistic & General Director
Il Postino (The Postman), a Spanish language opera presented by Opera Santa Barbara, will play at the Lobero Theatre on March 7th and 8th. Por Kostis Protopapas, Opera Santa Barbara O PERA SANTA BARBARA ESTÁ ENCANTADO DE PRESENTAR NUESTRA PRIMERA ÓPERA EN ESPAÑOL, Il Postino (El cartero) del gran compositor mexicanoestadounidense Daniel Catán. (¡No te preocupes si no hablas español, la traducción al inglés se proyecta sobre el escenario!) Basado en la película ganadora del Oscar de 1994, es una hermosa historia sobre un joven que aprende del gran poeta chileno Pablo Neruda cómo cortejar a la mujer de sus sueños. Contamos la historia a través de la música exuberante de una orquesta de 28 piezas, canto magnífico, puesta en escena evocativa y proyecciones de video digital. Opera no es más que otra forma de teatro musical y queremos que todos se sientan bienvenidos a experimentar nuestros espectáculos. Queremos que nuestra audiencia refleje nuestra comunidad a través de la edad, la raza y el estado económico. Gracias a nuestros generosos seguidores, podemos proporcionar entradas de acceso comunitario y precios especiales para que más personas puedan ver la ópera en vivo.
Y, hacemos más que solo espectáculos en el escenario principal. ¡Realizamos casi 30 conciertos gratuitos en Santa Bárbara y el condado de Ventura cada año! Organizamos eventos (a menudo gratuitos) durante toda la temporada sobre la ópera y las fantásticas historias que contamos, como noches de pub, charlas y ensayos abiertos. Y a pesar de la reputación de la ópera como una forma de arte para los mayores y adinerados, tenemos un grupo entusiasta y creciente de jóvenes profesionales en sus 30 y 40 años llamado OPERACURIOUS (la próxima actividad del grupo incluye un paseo en bicicleta y un desayuno tardío en la playa. ¡Únete a nosotros!)
Solo hay dos oportunidades para ver a Il Postino en el íntimo Teatro Lobero el 7 y 8 de marzo. Ven a experimentar la magia que Opera Santa Barbara conoce desde hace 26 años. Para boletos visita www.lobero.org o llama al (805) 963-0761. Photos by Zach Mendez / Opera Santa Barbara
