Personal Enrichment   

Each of us has a story to tell. Whether your story is fiction, creative nonfiction, a memoir, or an essay, the elements of writing are the same. Students will work on different writing elements each week and share their writing by reading it aloud, then critique the work of other class members.

Enhance your balance, gain strength, improve physical grace, and promote mindfulness and spiritual awareness with hatha yoga. We'll focus on the foundations of yoga postures (asanas) with movement and flow, as well as emphasize the benefits of hatha yoga to the body and mind. Join us for a lifelong journey!

Explore a series of thematically-related films. We'll engage in lively discussions as we analyze the films and our responses to them, while developing a sense of each film's creation, impact, and place in history.

Story is the fabric of life. Even though you may have run the idea for at least one story through your mind many times, you may have been reluctant to write it down, let alone share it with others. In this course, you will learn how to do both in safety and at your own pace. Learn the elements of good writing, work on a different element each week, and - once you've gained confidence - begin to share your writing. You will also learn how to edit your own stories and how to help other writers by making instructive comments about their work.
