Personal Growth & Lifestyle   

This is a class for people who have too much stuff:

• You have been living in the same place for a long time and have accumulated many years of stuff.
• You are concerned about leaving your own things behind for your children or other family member and want to spare them the time, expense, and emotional cost of sorting out your estate.
• You have experienced the death of a loved one and have been solely or partially responsible for disposing their belongings. 

In this seminar, we will focus on the difficult decisions that come with getting rid of things that are weighing you down.
We will discuss a practical plan for getting started on clearing space both physically and emotionally for yourself and your family, including the following:
 
1) What are some resources for taking inventory and finding the value of things?
2) What should you do with all the household things that no one really wants?
3) How can you keep from accumulating too much stuff going forward.
4) How can you maintain order in your home?
5) How can you plan now to make this process easier for my loved ones when the time comes?
 
At the end of the seminar, attendees will have a plan to begin their own journey into getting more organized and less stressed about all their stuff!

The Zentangle® Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns called tangles. Zentangle® can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of skill, experience, or artistic training. This beautiful, artistic, mindfulness practice increases focus and creativity and provides artistic satisfaction, along with an increased sense of personal wellbeing. This class is suitable for beginner tanglers.

Mindfulness is paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally. In this class, you will learn to create a self-care program, incorporating the practice of non-judgmental awareness, mindfulness and self-compassion that is critical to preventing burnout and allowing you to maintain your health and elevate your wellbeing. You will get simple, effective techniques to start using immediately that will directly impact daily decision making and improve resilience to daily stressors, while actively seeking to bring balance to each breath and moment.  This class is open to all – whether you are beginning your journey of discovery or a seasoned meditator.

Breathwork is an active meditation technique with a two-part inhale and single exhale done consistently for 30 minutes, followed by a relaxation and return to normal breathing.  The technique brings us into a deeper state of consciousness and clears "stuck energy" quite rapidly and safely. Results often include more mental clarity and less anxiety; an easier time connecting with family and friends; the experience of more joy, peace, and spiritual connection; and a boost of intuition and creativity.

They say we are what we eat, but I like to say we are what we absorb.  If your digestive tract is not working optimally, you aren’t nourishing your body, and disease happens.  If you are living with fatigue, stress, bloating, acid reflux, IB, heartburn or inflammation, join us to learn how food and herbal remedies can make all the difference in how you feel.  Learn all about probiotics in food and drinks and how simple changes can make you feel good again.

Learn to apply self-hypnosis techniques and formulate suggestions to change your eating habits, manage your weight, and influence your ideas about your ability to achieve and maintain an ideal weight for a happier, healthier lifestyle.

This workshop will teach students how to avoid being attacked, how to disengage from an attack before things get physical, and how to defend yourself against a couple of the most frequent forms of assault. Students will learn a few basic strikes that, while easy to learn, are extremely effective in creating an opportunity for you to escape from a dangerous or inappropriate situation.

Please note: This workshop is also open to High School students, but they must be accompanied by a registered adult.  Each person should register separately.

This course teaches the lifesaving skills of adult Hands-Only CPR, adult/child/infant CPR with breaths, adult/child AED use, and mild/severe airway block for all ages. Skills are taught in a dynamic group environment, which provides students with the most hands-on CPR practice time possible. This class is ideal for new parents, grandparents, babysitters, and others interested in learning how to save a life, but do not need a CPR course completion card to meet a job requirement.

Aches and pains are part of everyday life and can, under most circumstances, be treated quite easily at home using soothing herbal remedies to help ease the discomfort associated with minor-to-moderate backache, arthritis, headaches, and sore stiff muscles.  We will discuss these conditions and highlight many herbs, foods, and tools you can use so that you can feel comfortable and pain free.  We will create custom blends for those wanting to go home with an herbal tincture for a cost of $10, payable to the instructor in class.
