A workshop for all interested in sharing their images, whether photographs or paintings. Each session will view and discuss the images with the goal of achieving effective images. All skill levels welcome. Look, laugh and learn.

1. Become Physically and Cognitively Sharper; and
2. Attain Extraordinary Memory Retention and Flexibility like those decades younger
along with a more robust Emotional Well-being; and Disease Resilience.
Utilizing recent findings on Neurogenesis (i.e. brain’s ability to regenerate New Brain Cells and
Renew Itself) fending off cognitive decline.

• This semester, we focus mainly on how Nutrition & Diet collaborate with Memory &
  Learning to increase Neurogenesis.
• Discover Simple Activities or Factors that Increase Neurogenesis while avoiding those
  that Lower Neurogenesis leading to a Longer, Healthier, and more Enjoyable Life!
• The only prerequisite is an “open mind”, as we avoid all complexities of neurosciences.

Workshop Style: Workshop Designed to be Enjoyable and Having Fun while Learning: using simplified presentations with video clips; fun cognitive exercises and discussions.

The focus of this workshop is creative photography ideas and methods. The objective is to inspire the participants to try lots of ways to enhance their photos as well as to try new subjects and in-camera techniques.

This course explores the themes, style, historical context and significance of selected works of literature. Books under consideration for the fall term will include Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, and Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys

You are the repository of the stories of your time. We will be both storytellers and historians. Memoir writing is a group effort in which we support and critique one another's work, in an effort to produce memoirs worthy of preservation.

Electronics technology is all around us, in our homes, our cars and in everyday devices that we use and take for granted. This workshop is for non-professionals who are interested in a basic understanding of how it all works. We will start with the principles of electricity and electrical components and show how we encounter them every day. Semiconductors from simple diodes and transistors to integrated circuits will be discussed including their uses and how they are manufactured. The last session will cover electronic navigation systems including GPS. Some formulas will be used in our discussions but math skills are not required to understand the topics covered in this workshop.

Workshop Format: Primarily workshop leader presentation
