Technology is changing faster than we can keep up with. While some advances are saving lives, others may be long-term detriments to our health. In order for communication technology to enable smart devices to carry more information quickly, the bandwidth of electromagnetic radiation must increase. On one hand, we are being told by telecommunication companies the expansion from 4G to 5G is safe. On the other hand, research specialists say ‘not so fast - there are health consequences.’ We’ll cover the 5G key safety issues and the effects of electromagnetic radiation on your health.

These simple stretching exercises for joints and glands increase circulation to all parts of your body and help improve your overall flexibility.

Jesus, in the Gospel According to Thomas: “When the male shall not be male and the female shall not be female, then shall you enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Androgyny is the psychosocial expression of “wholeness.” Come see how civilizations and the individual have the potential to express the androgynous principle. Scholars submit that healthy civilizations and individuals exhibit combinations of both feminine and masculine qualities. This two-session class will culminate in an androgyny measurement to ascertain your level of androgyny/wholeness expression.

But we can gain insight into our developed lives by examining our spirituality in the context of aging. The aged possess what is called a reserve capacity - which refers to an individual’s po tential for change and continued psycho-spiritual growth. This class will look at how we come to understand spirituality from childhood to the senior years; stages of spiritual growth, and insights concerning actualization and spiritual gerontology. We will see that spirituality has great potential as a vital region of continued growth in old age.

If you would prefer to request the amount be returned via a check, please contact a CSR (520) 625-3440. If you paid with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, & American Express you will receive a credit on your card. Please allow up to fifteen (15) business days for your refund to be processed.

If you are unable to attend a class you have registered for, please notify GVR as soon as possible. This allows us to accommodate members on a waiting list. Classes may be cancelled by GVR due to lack of enrollment, instructor illness, or other unforeseen circumstances. If a class you are enrolled in is cancelled, you will be notified as soon as possible and given the opportunity to register for another class or receive a full refund. If you registered online, the class fee will be refunded. Please note: this does not include the service fee.

Refunds will be issued if registration is cancelled by the member five (5) business days prior to the class start date. Those wishing to withdraw four (4) or less business days prior to the class start date (not including the day the class meets) will receive a refund, minus a $5 withdrawal fee for each class.
