welcomeThe way we see it, community education is a dynamic and ever-evolving process. We regularly ask our community members what they want and need to learn right now to sharpen their skills and stay engaged. We respond to those needs by developing innovative programming and recruiting passionate, community-oriented instructors. We ask for feedback and suggestions on our classes and programs, and the cycle begins again.
This catalog reflects our collaborative work over the past few months. Take a look through its pages and find a class that meets your needs. Exercise your creative spirit
and make something–a Little Free Library, a Straw Bale Garden, a flavorful meal to share. Approach wellness from a whole new angle, and try a 14-Day Cleanse, explore the ancient science of Ayurveda, or sample several forms of Meditation. Update your communication and collaboration skills, and start a social media conversation or say Yes! to Improv. Expand your global competencies and dive deep in Italian art or Spanish conversation. By participating in community education programs like these, you’re doing your part to stay engaged and connected and make our community a little stronger.
Can’t find the class you were looking for? Have an idea for a class you would like to teach? Let us know! We are always looking for new class ideas and we are always looking for new instructors to share their expertise. Our catalog, our program and our community aren’t complete without you!

In this class, Summer’s voice will guide you through a series of relaxation and visualization exercises. Absolutely no prior experience with yoga or meditation is necessary. We will start with some very gentle movements to free the joints and calm the body.
