Did you ever want to learn how to play chess - or, if you already know the rules, how to become a better player? In this course, we will thoroughly cover the basics, then focus on a methodology that helps you ask the right questions about each move. Helpful handouts and ample time for practice games will enable you to analyze your strategy, set goals, and play purposefully using solid chess fundamentals. As chess even demonstrably keeps the brain healthy, it's especially excellent for seniors looking to maintain mental sharpness - but it's never too early, nor too late, to learn!

- Qigong for Joy ⬥ Frolic and Laughter NEW!
-
Fee: $59.00
Dates: 5/2/2025 - 5/30/2025
Times: 8:00 AM - 8:45 AM
Days: F
Sessions: 5

As meditative practices focused on breath and movement, qigong and laughter yoga possess remarkable synergy. In this class, we will combine the two - contrasting the energy created by the dynamic meditation of laughter yoga with the subtler, quieter internal energy of qigong. We will also delve into the qigong practice of the Five Animal Frolics: the tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird. If you’re ready to find joy through these forms of moving meditation, come join us!
Class will be held outside when weather permits. During inclement weather, class will be held in the Water & Environmental Center (Bldg. R) Rotunda (Rm. 2003).
Required Materials: yoga mat or blanket; water bottle.

Fencing is a combat sport that combines offense and defense simultaneously. Sometimes called "physical chess," it is as much a battle of wits as one of athleticism - you must possess not just the speed to strike or withdraw from your opponent, but the cunning to surprise or trick your way past their guard. In this class, we will practice footwork (where we practice moving in space like a fencer), bladework (where we practice controlling our blade), and fencing (where we combine both elements and face an opponent). Together, we will hone our athleticism and tactical problem-solving, learn from losing, and discover how to uplift those around us.
For ages 8-12.
All students must sign a Waiver & Release of Liability form before the start of class in order to attend. Upon enrollment, a link to the form will be included in the order confirmation email.
