Self-care: An introduction to techniques for easing mental tension, stress and anxiety. On Wednesday, April 20, 3 PM, Catalina Vista, Cindy and Dean Silverlock will discuss how to address that deeper layer of tension that is hard to access. This work helps with trauma, addictions and every day stress. You will learn how to work on your own feet to access this deeper tension that resides in your spine. Metamorphosis is a gentle touch approach. Using your fingers, you will learn to sense this tension. There is not dialogue or analysis, making this a very relaxing experience.

When discord in our country, our communities, even within our inner circles, seems more prevalent than ever, club member John Padgett’s poem helps us think about bridging the gaps and why we need: Connection I’ll not speak of love / love is too ephemeral / So what do our souls need? Connection Connection with: Colleagues to share / ideas and experiments / Friends to share / joy and sorrow / Family who share / genes and history If we are open to connection / we appreciate / our colleagues / friends / family / and love them / for how we are enriched Don’t forget strangers / they bring / new experience And with connection they become / colleagues / friends / even family Connection Fighting Covid has cost us both smiles and handshakes, but we’re getting them back and we can still aim to connect by listening respectfully and seeking to find areas of agreement rather than dissent. Reading and writing poetry might help. Join us.
