Thursday, April 17, LMH Main Room 1-2:30pm. An Experiential Program to Support Vision, Movement, and Balance with Ree Coleman We are all keenly aware of our sense of sight and how our sight and eyes support us each day. Also associated with our sight are two less talked about senses: proprioception, a sense of where your body parts are and what they’re doing; and equilibrioception, a sense of balance, aka your internal GPS, letting you know if you’re sitting or lying down. Both are important parts of our systems that can be trained to support us in all parts of our day to create greater balance and harmony with each step and breath. Ree Coleman returns to start us off with some movement and will then focus on educating us on creating healthier vision habits to ease the daily stress and strain our eyes endure. Ree is a certified Kundalini Yoga, specializing in Eyes On Yoga combining yoga with the Bates Method Vision Improvement, as well as Brain Gym to coordinate eyes with brain and body for greater balance.

Friday, April 18, Market Square Bullnose, 11am. All are invited to join Rev. Rebecca for this Good Friday Peace Vigil at Market Square. In the Christian tradition, Good Friday is the day that Jesus died, killed by those in power who were threatened by his teachings to love your neighbor and care for the outcast.
