Zoom Program Hosted by Shalom Spirituality Center
AI chatbots have rapidly evolved into confidantes, companions, and even therapist-like support for millions of users. While these systems promise availability, accessibility, and emotional support, AI chatbots also introduce new and often hidden psychological risks.  
Our growing relationships with AI chatbots and AI companions are changing the way we think, feel, and connect, raising issues that range from emotional dependence to delusional spirals. Drawing on cutting-edge research, clinical insight, and real-world cases, Dr. Wei examines how these technologies are reshaping our minds and relationships.

Bad Medicine (Bon Jovi Tribute Band)

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART TOUR

 A Full Dose of Bon Jovi with a Supplement of Non-Jovi

(80’s Classic Rock!)

Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM

Bad Medicine was formed and led by lifelong Bon Jovi fan, Joe Frasca, back in 2001. Through the years, the talented collection of musicians, with over 100+ combined years of on-stage experience, has proven time and time again that Bad Medicine is truly the “next best thing”. In recent years, Bad Medicine has added several “non-Jovi” hits from the same genre, for those longer sets and situations that require a more diverse performance. However, Bad Medicine remains the favorite choice for Bon Jovi, and is still true to giving tribute to one of the most iconic and successful bands in history. The band has a resume that includes high profile performances both nationally and internationally private, public, and corporate alike. Bad Medicine has opened up for several national acts, including Eddie Money, Great White, Lita Ford, Bret Michaels (on numerous occasions), Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult, George Thorogood, Rick Springfield, Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, and more.  If you want to see an accurate reproduction of the Bon Jovi sound, look, feel, and energy, it’s safe to say some Bad Medicine is what you need…Enjoy a rocking night of Bon Jovi as well as some great 80’s classic rock featuring Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Poison and more!

A Bad Medicine show is always "One Wild Night".

Three elements are important on the Lenten journey: penance (physical challenges), reflection (encountering God through others and the beauty of nature), and renewal (spiritual growth, hope and healing). These same elements are mirrored on the Camino Santiago de Compostela, an ancient pilgrimage that begins in eastern Spain and winds its way to the Tomb of St. James. Listen to the spiritual journey of a pilgrim who recently completed the Camino and how his journey helps us to encounter Lent in a new and vibrant way.
Free-will donation only; RSVPs are appreciated for in-person attendance but required for virtual attendance.  Please RSVP online at shalomretreats.org or by calling 563.582.3592 by noon on Tuesday, March 17.
