This month’s highlights
Embody Dance
Friday, October 2 at 2:00 PM
The Embody Dance class starts with a gentle warm up to get participants connected to their body and breath. From there, accompanied by a carefully curated playlist, students will explore powerful and playful movement through cuing and invitations. Class will end with a gentle cool down and guided meditation. This dance class can be taken with shoes or barefoot. Dress comfortably. If you would like to lay down for the guided meditation at the end, please bring a yoga mat.
Paul Pacter Presents: Lithuania
Monday, October 5 at 3:00 PM
By the end of 14th century, Lithuania was the largest state in Europe! In 1500s it grew even larger (400,000 square miles, 12 million people) by merger with Poland. Then conquered by Russia in 1795. Independence in 1918. But re-occupied by Russia 1940-1941 and again 1944 1990. Occupied by Nazi Germany 1941-1944. The capital Vilnius’s historic city center is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the largest surviving medieval old towns in Northern Europe, comprising nearly 1,500 buildings. Unfortunately, there has been an extreme population decline since 1992, forecast to continue indefinitely.
