Remembering World War I: Its Lasting Influences Into the 21st Century

Interest in World War II remains high with the public; however, most of the civilian and government programs, military innovations, use of media, gender roles, and world involvement, to name a few, did not begin with this war. It began with the first World War that set into motion the 20th century, and its ramifications are felt well in to the 21st century. In April 2017, the U.S. commemorated its 100th anniversary involvement in this “war to end all wars.”

Stress Relief

GROOVE™ & Self-Care

Jun 15, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Stress is an interesting animal. On one hand, it strengthens us. On the other hand, it kills us. This is a hands-on workshop to understand what stress is, how the stress response works, and different ways to invite in a relaxation response. Come comfortably dressed and ready for interaction.

What’s Your Body Telling You? Jul 13, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. The brain-body connection is a powerful one. Your body is continuously sending you signals ... and your thoughts are creating responses in your body. This circle between the brain and the body continually gives you information. As an example, tight, rounded shoulders can represent “carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.” As you investigate your worries and let them go, that tension eases. In this interactive workshop, we practice checking in with the signals of the body and observing our thoughts to observe the connection between the brain and the body.

Healthy Low Back Aug 10, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Low back pain is the number one reason people miss work. Face it, when your back hurts, your whole body hurts.

We practice exercises that strengthen abdominals and the rest of the core, as well as stretch the low back and hamstrings.

How to Use Essential Oils for Everyday Living Aug 24, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Essential oils are literally everywhere. But not all oils are created equal or should be used in the same ways. In this workshop, learn what to look for in oils, and when and how to use them. Start to incorporate oils into your everyday life confidently.
