Please join us for our new discussion group. While aging is familiar to us, the concept of “Eldering” may be new. Our Eldering group is a place to talk, to share, or to just listen to what neighbors, friends, and members of our community have to say about their experiences as we grow older. The group has already come up with a great list of resources.
This month we’ll talk about unexpected moments in your life. You can choose to share, or just come listen.
This group meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 1:00-2:30. All are welcome. We hope you’ll join us for a great conversation!
Adult emerald ash borers eat ash tree leaves. Larvae feed on the nutrient-rich tissue just under the ash tree’s bark, forming S-shaped lines in the tree. This feeding process disrupts the trees’ ability to move food and water from its roots to its leaves, eventually killing the tree.
No prior experience is needed for this experience of gentle, mindful movement and deep breathing to calm the nervous system and focus the mind. Led by yoga expert Martha Williams, you’ll stretch and move while sitting in your chair with a handful of standing and balancing postures accessible to all. We’ll finish with a guided body scan that invites you to relax into the present moment, that place where true power lies.
Martha Williams works with individuals and groups seeking optimal health and wellbeing. She draws on her training as a therapist and social worker, certified yoga teacher, and a trained shamanic practitioner. She offers a unique blend of services supporting individuals in the transformation of their life into one of optimal health and thriving in all areas. Through her yoga classes she invites deep connection to body, self and Spirit with gentle yoga and movement guided from within. She received her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training from the Yoga Spirit School of Yoga, studied core shamanic practices extensively with Dory Cote, and traveled to Peru and sat in ceremony with Q’ero Shamans, Alberto Villoldo, and the Four Winds Society. Martha worked for more than nine years at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and experienced a wide range of thought-leaders and transformational teachers. Her classes resonate with people seeking greater flexibility, improved balance, and a healthy break from a busy, full life.
The Democracy Cafe meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month to talk about all-things-Democracy. This month we’ll talk about the role of primaries in US elections. We hope you’ll join us for another great discussion with this thoughtful group. All are welcome.
Crows are among the most abundant birds around, and are a familiar sight on our roads and near our trash. But did you know this scavenger is as intelligent as a seven year old child? Join us to learn more about these crafty animals at the next presentation in the Maine Wildlife Series! Meet “Dante”, the Center for Wildlife’s beautiful non-releasable crow education ambassador! Learn about the natural history of crows, as well as his personal story, from Katie Brodeur, Education & Outreach Specialist. We look forward to seeing you there!
