The history of the Catholic Church is fascinating. The Catholic Church is the longest-enduring
institution in the world. Beginning with the first Christians and continuing in our present day,
the Church has been planted in every nation on earth. Come learn about the local history
of the Church and how it reflects the institution as a whole. Monsignor will draw upon his

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN OUR MIDST:
BEYOND RELIGION WITH JESUS LEADING THE WAY
Becoming mature mystics involves some solid theology, some developmental psychology, and
some social concerns that keep us grounded in the current incarnate world. We recognize this
mature mysticism in some celebrities and public figures who turn history, art, music ,and politics
in new and unimaginable directions. Carl Jung once said, “It is to the mystics that we owe what
is best in humanity.”
Evil today seems more gigantic than ever – a real Goliath from the Old Testament. David’s mystical
frame of reference changed everything: “He’s so big. How can I miss?” Soren Kierkegaard said,
“We live life forward but we understand it backward.” We will try to do that in two 90-minute
sessions, learning from mystics whose deep spirituality has not only endured but has inspired
many contemporary visionary reformers from Meister Eckhart to the Binguines, Adrienne Rich,
Nelson Mandela, Dorothee Soelle, Otto Rank, Dorothy Stang, Karl Marx , Serge LaTouche, and
many more.

LAURA L. BARRY, AUTHOR
The author of The Center of Me will be here to have a very healthy, robust, and productive
discussion. In her newly published inspirational manual for the soul, author Laura Barry
addresses the palpable human yearning for the unseen essentials in life of joy, love, peace, and
happiness. The Center of Me: The Journey to Finding Your Inner Coach affirms that all human
beings can achieve the essential elements of a fulfilling life. Anecdotes, humor, and thoughtful
exercises address the pervasive critic inside each of us and allow readers to experience the
concepts taught in The Center of Me rather than merely intellectualize them. Participants
are encouraged to read the book prior to coming to class in order to have a more engaging
discussion. Available on Amazon. Books will also be for sale at class time.

TAI CHI FIVE ELEMENT MEDICAL QIGONG
Chinese Five Element Meditation for centering and balancing and harmonizing. This qigong
meditation focuses on the five solid (Yin) organs of the body and their corresponding elements
– Heart (Fire), Spleen (Earth), Lungs (Metal), Kidneys (Water) and Liver (Wood). These organs
function a bit like batteries, and when we bring our awareness and energy to them, they help
our Qi flow smoothly and bring harmony to mind, body and spirit.

A MEETING OF THE MYSTICS
Come and meet two very different fourteenth-century women with very different spiritual
lives. One, an anchorite who lived most of her life in a small cell attached to a church in Norwich,
England. The other, a Norfolk woman who traveled on a pilgrimage as far as the Holy Land. One
who describes God as Mother and Father; one who weeps uncontrollably at the thought of
Christ’s suffering. This class will examine their lives and writings as well as the brief record of
their actual meeting in Norwich.

No miniskirts after 40. Or long hair. Sleeveless after 50? Never! There are a lot of women who
still believe in age-related fashion dictum, but in a world where everyone from nine to 90 wears
jeans, what does “age appropriate” actually mean? The design professionals at Nada & Co. will
host an event to help you dress for any age. We will meet at their beautiful store in Green Ridge.
Learn from their signature good taste to figure out how to feel confident and make a beautiful
statement.

PART II: POST-IMPRESSIONISM ( PART I, NOT A PREREQUISITE)
This presentation is a journey from Impressionism to Post- Impressionism...from
“fleeting moments” to solidity, transparency, fluidity, and emotion. Political events, discoveries in

the arts. Experience a visual journey from the art of the 19th century to the 20th century.

LEARNING TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT
We all get advice to breath, relax, live in the moment, or meditate but are given very little
instruction. Come learn some easy to use sensory awareness techniques that can help you build
a meditation practice quickly and easily. No cushion or sitting cross legged required! We are
biologically wired to meditate and have done it numerous times without even realizing we were
doing it. This course will help you identify those moments and then tap into the same type of
awareness on a daily basis. Learn the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of giving
yourself permission to live in the moment. The process is so much easier than you think!
