The ancient art of Tai Chi Chuan has been a fun and exciting way for adults to relax and exercise for over 600 years.

By practicing methods intended to focus and discipline the mind through body exercises, a person can reduce stress, improve wellness, and gain flexibility. By applying the interesting and exotic techniques of Tai Chi into a contemporary lifestyle, many adults find that what they learn in class are lessons that can be applied to everyday life. It is recommended that students wear loose-fitting clothing and sensible shoes to class, bring a notebook, and plan on attending class regularly.

Taking an individual approach to your own situation will lead you to the best outcome. Many people have questions on their own insurances/investments during the workshop. You are welcome to but not required to bring any statements you may have questions on. If you would be responsible for helping someone find care, if they can’t complete care for themselves, or want to know for yourself about this type of planning, this is a good course for you to take.

Each of us is seeking the goodness we want for our lives in the best way that we know how. By understaning our own actions, and the actions of others, from this perspective, we realize that the suffering we all experience in life comes not from a desire to hurt, but from a deep, shared desire for goodness. In this five week course, you will learn to see the challenges of your life with greater clarity and compassion and discover practical ways to better fulfill your best intentions for living. This empowers us to move beyond the judgments and defenses that separate us, and to open our hearts again to ourselves, our relationships, our society and our world. Come learn to see beyond the illusions that separate us and to recognize the common instinct for goodness at work in every relationship and situation in our lives.

3/20,

6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

$29.00

Inner peace is impossible to maintain while we still hold on to the very feelings and beliefs that keep us from being peaceful to begin with. Trapped negative emotions like fear, anger and sorrow can disrupt the flow of vital energy in our bodies and actually sabotage our inner peace. In this single evening course, you will learn simple yet effective techniques for getting in touch with, understanding, accepting and releasing the emotions that keep us from ourselves. Nobody wants to suffer. Come learn to rest in the peaceful state of loving acceptance that is our true nature.

Preschool Aquatics (ages 4 & 5) Preschool Aquatics puts the “fun” in fundamentals. Each class is loaded with enjoyable, engaging, and challenging activities that motivate children to want to perform and learn to swim. Parents are not permitted in the pool but the child may wear a flotation device. Progressive/layered swim aid may be ordered at registration for $10.00.
