REAL ESTATE
As we travel along life’s path, our stories are the most precious gifts we can pass on. In this course students are encouraged to write stories that have affected their hearts. Be they funny or sad, about good times or bad, each student has an opportunity to share a new short story every week. Write a story about the one that got away, or the one you decided to stay with. Write about the lessons you learned, the dinners you burned, or what you did when you came to a particu‑ lar fork in your road. Note: this course has required weekly writing assignments. Students must meet weekly deadlines in order to receive instructor feedback and participate in group storytelling sessions.

Finding Your Movement Intelligence
The Feldenkrais Method® works slowly and systematically to build new patterns of movement. By doing very small and easy but complex movement puzzles, we learn to rewire our nervous systems to align mind with body. In this course, we become experts at knowing how our bodies work—what is possible and easy and what is more difficult or even impossible at the time. We experiment with variations in our movement patterns to build resiliency and expand our repertoire of ways to do the same movements with refinement. Anyone can benefit, since the emphasis is on learning as we once did as babies—organi‑ cally. Discover the pleasure of moving painlessly and gracefully. Note: Students must sign a waiver before participation.

Traditional Tai Chi
Tai Chi is well‑known for bringing the mind, body, and spirit together to improve balance, prevent injury, and promote good health. This peaceful martial art helps to clear the mind, reduce stress, and enhance flexibility along with promoting overall wellness. The steps are soft and the slow movements are simple. The postures and move‑ ments accord with the principles of yin and yang and build an intimate awareness with one’s natural internal and external energy, building a great sense of inner peace. Each week a new tai chi posture is intro‑ duced, followed by a 50‑minute tai chi flow sequence. In this course we learn how to open the body’s energy pathways and prepares for proper tai chi form training. Note: Students must sign a waiver before participation.
