    "Cardio drumming is so much fun you don't even know you're exercising!" –Nancy R.

    "Cardio drumming with Beth is one of the highlights of my week! Even if I have to drag myself there, I'm usually bouncing out at the end." – Sara R.

    This is an exercise class! Please dress comfortably, wear sturdy shoes ( no sandals or flip flops) and bring water. No drumming experience needed. All levels welcome…can even be done sitting down!

    Cardio Drumming combines movement with the beat and rhythm of drums for a fun, high energy workout. It brings together drumsticks, an exercise ball, an exercise ball stand (bucket), and rhythmic moves to create one of the most fun workouts you’ll ever do.

    Cardio drumming will raise your heart rate to help burn those calories, improve your coordination and ability to focus, and help strengthen many muscle groups, including your core. Studies have shown that when people find workouts they enjoy and have fun with, they’re more likely to stick with their routine.

    Equipment needed: 65 cm exercise ball, a 5 gallon bucket to set the ball on, and basic drum sticks (limited supply available to purchase for $20). 

    Please register at least two days prior to the session you would like to attend.

Bring your own memorabilia or material to copy ( anything works) or use pressed flowers, fresh foliage and plant material from the yard.

    Each person will be able to use some provided fabric/watercolor paper pieces to practice first. Then they will make a unique piece on a 6”x 6” fabric piece. This means each person will have 3-4 pieces of fabric. They can choose to frame, paint watercolor paper and frame, sew together, or use to cover a journal on their own. Instructor will give and show suggestions for finishing on your own.

    Bring your ideas and any materials you wish to use.  All other supplies provided.

    This is a weaving together of multiple generations and factions of a family from the Deep South to California from the 1950 to 1990. The story is riveting, emotional, and a brilliant exploration of history and family dynamics.

    Instructor:  Sue Abare

    Ages 18+. Beginning–Intermediate. This class is for those first timers wanting to experience watercolor or someone who wants to expand beginning skills. Have fun exploring the enchantment of water and paint in their irresistible dance. As with all painting, a little drawing experience is helpful. Feel free to bring supplies you may already have or wait for suggestions on what you may want to purchase. Some basic supplies are furnished. We will discuss preparing paper to paint, brushes and their technique, some color theory — but mostly we will jump in the water, and do it!

    The Overstory is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of - and paean to - the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

    All women are invited to these discussions to share observations, enthusiasm, insights and the pure enjoyment of reading.

    Instructor: Marsha Hosfeld

    Topic: Still Life/Product Lighting

    What do you like to photograph? Let’s try to build up a few skills together and share the results! We will spend one session taking photos together, and take suggested prompts home to work on until the next session. Order prints of a couple of favorites to share, or bring a thumb drive to look at on a TV screen. Even if a topic isn’t a particular favorite, the practice and some useful bits of knowledge will likely prove useful. Practice makes progress!

    Facilitator: Christyn Rittenhouse

    This class is Zoom only. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email with the link to join the class.  

    Build confidence, learn to trust your decision making process, focus on what you love and the freedom of letting go of what no longer servers you. Let’s get this party started!

    IMPORTANT—Please bring to your zoom area at home: one sub-group of clothing items that contains AT LEAST 10 items. This could be coats, jackets, long sleeved shirts and blouses, or short sleeve shirts and blouses, bottoms - pants, shorts, skirts. Be sure to collect ALL items you own of this sub-group. Check your closets, attics, basements, and laundry. While some ‘like items’ may live in different areas of your home, when decluttering we will sort by category not space! This is extremely helpful and important to give you all the information you will need to choose with discernment.

    The virtual zoom room will be open at 9:45 to gather and settle in. We will begin promptly at 10:00. You will be admitted as quickly as possible if you run late, but you may have to wait a few minutes if we are in the middle of a visualization.
