Adult RE Classes
Integral Yoga

Integral Yoga enhances the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well-being of an individual. With practice you can focus your mind, strengthen your body, increase your flexibility and improve your sleep. Each hour and a half class includes chanting, eye exercises, yoga postures, deep relaxation, breathing techniques, and meditation. Please bring a yoga mat, wear loose fitting clothing, and abstain from eating at least an hour before class. Contact certified yoga instructor Theresa Jefferson for more information. (Fees: $55/month due the first class of each month. $15 to drop-in.) Sessions: Tuesdays 1:00-2:00 starting 10/4  

“Hot Topics” – COMING THIS SPRING

Hot Topics Forums explore issues of political or social interest, allowing us to examine the different arguments that arise from given issues and come to a better understanding of the diverse perspectives that surround them. Hot Topics evenings begin with a moderated consideration of a topic or question posed for participants to consider. All participants are asked to prepare for the discussion by reading short articles that set forth opposing positions on the question. The discussion aims to promote debate and constructive argument of the contrary positions and welcomes insight and opinion from persons embracing each position. Some possible topics include global warming, marriage, abortion, capitalism and war. Please let Denise Soppas or Rev Tracy know if this forum interests you.
