Featured Classes

ONLINE CLASS: Forest Bathing (20125)

Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, began in the 1980s in Japan and it is rooted in the traditional Japanese reverence for nature. Forest bathing is a mindfulness practice akin to meditation, yoga and tai chi that involves tuning in to the beauty and wonder of your natural surroundings with all of your senses. Join nature guides Melanie Choukas-Bradley and Ana Ka’ahanui for a forest bathing presentation and experience that you can enjoy in your own backyard or even your living room. One Saturday: October 3, from noon to 2 p.m. Online Class.

ONLINE CLASS: Passing through the Veil: Black Characters and White-passing from the Antebellum Period to the Jim Crow Era (20107)

“Who are your people?” A simple question to ask, but often a difficult one to answer if you consider that we are all a heterogenous mixture of cultures, ethnicities, and categories. These readings will prompt us to probe the history of race and identity in the United States and the ways in which that history continues to live on. Four Wednesdays: October 7, 14, 21, 28, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Online Class.
