CBD for Better Health
CBD is produced by the cannabis plant. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system of humans and other animals. CBD has been shown to decrease pain, decrease stress, and improve sleep. It has been used to decrease the severity of auto-immune disorders, like Parkinson's, Chron's, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. This talk will focus on the wellness aspects of hemp as well as the benefits to our overall happiness and well-being. Free samples will be provided!

Thinking Outside the Box: Why Conventional Liberal and Conservative Approaches to Public Problem-Solving Won't and Can't Work, and Why Fresh Approaches Are Needed
A large majority of Americans across the political spectrum are concerned about the future of American democracy. Somewhat paradoxically, a large majority also question American democracy&'s present ability to address the country's fundamental challenges and the needs of ordinary citizens. Bob will present the case that conventional liberal and conservative approaches to public policy that have guided America since the end of WWII are both hopelessly exhausted. They will sketch fresh approaches and also suggest what fresh approaches could be too dangerous.

France: Famous and not so Famous Sites- Part 2
The class begins at a century-old family-owned chateau, once the site of a royal marriage, that now houses a museum of dolls, toys, and books. Another chateau maintains gardens rivaling Versailles. Two villages house UNESCO honored tapestries. We continue with homes built inside mountain-side caves, Loire Valley vineyards, an ancient monastery protected by rising tides, and Rouen, site of Joan of Arc's martyrdom and, more recently, the restaurant where Julia Child discovered French cooking. After a visit to Caen in Normandy to witness the WWII American museum and cemetery, the class ends at the gardens of Giverny and the home of Monet.

Compassion or Reaction? Finding Our Center in Times of Change
Each of us has the opportunity to step back from chaos and conflict and into a place of peace. In this workshop we'll explore ways to connect to our inner knowing, learning to navigate life with compassion. Through the practice of guided shamanic journeying and creative exploration, we'll activate our imagination and tune in to our intuition. We'll learn techniques for opening and balancing our chakras, tending our energetic bodies, and grounding ourselves. Weather permitting, participants will have the opportunity to spend time in nature and walk a Medicine Wheel.
