Updated 2018 Fall Schedule
Due to different computer software versions here in the office, the schedule that I posted yesterday cut out the Feldenkrais class. This will not do because Feldenkrais is so popular and we will indeed offer it again this year!
The correct version is available by clicking HERE and all links have been updated on our website. Sorry about that.
Thank you to those who let us know – Julie

A Fantastic Lecture for You!
Good Summer Everyone!
I miss seeing you all at the Open University and Lunch and Life. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and keeping cool in the humidity (and dry in the rain!). Since you may not be in classes right now, I would like to share a lecture that I attended at another lifelong learning program about a month ago. It is eye-opening. Do yourself a favor and watch it. Take good care – Julie
