Most people tend to live their lives with a
wandering mind, worried or consumed by past or future events. This introduction
to meditation tries to open up a world of the present moment, the most
important time of our lives. We will start with a short introduction followed
by a 30 minute guided, sitting meditation, then close the session with
questions, answers and interesting experiences. Session led by Greg Sherburn.

Baby Sign Workshop
Monday, July 17, 2023
6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Babies communicate with their facial expressions, voices, and bodies. When we treat babies' body language as communication and try to figure out what they're telling us, it's easier for us to meet babies' needs, get to know our babies better, feel closer to them, and start two-way conversation even before they can talk.

Learn how you can model, encourage, and respond to babies' body language by using gestures and baby signs as you talk with children in everyday interactions.
