EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Discover the
creativity,
happiness,
purpose,
and passion
within you.
Yes, everything is
possible. We all have
dreams and some
even have personal bucket lists. We might yearn to add
more creativity to our lives, try a new hobby, improve
our health or start a purposeful part-time job, paid or
volunteer. Sometimes things get in the way of achieving
those dreams.
During our winter term, explore ways to make your
dreams reality. Overcome a health obstacle. Get past
the fear of jumping into something new – like art,
writing, teaching or bicycling. Discover the joys and
benefits of leadership volunteering. Dabble in a parttime occupation to earn a little income while pursuing a
passion. The possibilities are endless.
You will be inspired by people who have overcome
major health obstacles. Hear stories, review books,
attend workshops and see films about artists, advocates,
community leaders and business people who have made
a difference during their encore years.
Uncover health myths and misconceptions with
neuroscientist Dr. David Diamond. Join with hundreds
of others during a special leadership volunteering
conference featuring 4Generations Institute Founder
Jack Levine and Volunteer Florida CEO Chester
Spellman. Spend two days experiencing art like never
before with The Painting Experience.

take up “true” art such as watercolor and oil painting.
But colored pencils can produce stunning and highly
detailed paintings with near-photographic results
possible. The basics of colored pencil painting will be
explored in two classes. During the first class, you will
become familiar once again with handling the pencil,
and learn fundamental techniques. During the second
class, you will use those essential techniques to get
a good start on a painting of an orange. All supplies
provided.

The Art of Edward Hopper: The Face of
America in the 1930s and 1940s NEW
I
Instructor: Pat Wellington
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
• Classroom: Live Oak Hall
• Resident: FREE; Non-Resident: $5
Of Edward Hopper it is said that no other painter
presented “a more revealing portrait of twentiethcentury America. But he was not merely an objective
realist. His art was charged with strong personal emotion,
with a deep attachment to our familiar, everyday world,
in all its ugliness, banality, and beauty.” Hopper derived
much of his subject matter from common features of
American life like gas stations, motels, restaurants,
theaters and street scenes. Years ago Turner
Classic Movies animated some of his paintings as an
introduction to feature films with jazzman Chet Baker
crooning “Look for the silver lining” in the background.

Moses? Who could better portray the realism and

of her career was in her 70s after her five children were
grown. Her paintings are so cherished by Americans
that in 2006 her work entitled “Sugaring Off” sold for
$1.2 million. Explore how Anna Mary Robertson Moses
found her creativity, not just through painting but
through embroidery and other art forms. Learn how
her talent grew until arthritis in her hands limited her
work. Walk away inspired to find your creative self.

cameras’ light meter. However, there are times that
your digital camera will produce an image that is too
light or too dark. Almost all digital cameras, including
the point and shoot and even some new smartphone
cameras, have an Exposure Compensation (Ev) Value
setting. This setting is needed because the camera
can sometimes make incorrect assumptions about
the lighting of a photo. Changing the Ev will make
sure your photos are always correctly exposed. These
are situations when you want to use your cameras’
Exposure Compensation Ev+/- feature. This is one
button on the camera which many beginners or even

the mood, creates depth, or highlights a subject; the
light around you and how you respond to it can often
make or break a photo. All of us are aware that the
world around us appears differently depending on the
day, the weather, and time of day or year or if the light
you’re shooting with is natural or artificial. So, just as
the light determines how we see things, it also dictates,
to some degree, how our photo will look. In this course
you will learn the characters of light and photography
and how you can use this to your advantage to bring
your photos to life.

Introduction to Portrait Photography NEW
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
• Classroom: 2
Portraiture is an art form that fascinates and intrigues us
on a very deep and personal level. In the photographic
medium, portraiture has been around since the very
earliest days, and has been a popular style for hundreds
of years with painters. Portraiture captures forever the
fleeting moment of expression and emotion, enabling
the viewer to study it and ponder the story behind it. In

real life these expressions and emotion would be gone
in an instant and we may never see them again. With
a portrait, we can return to relive that emotion of the
moment. Portraiture is posed or candid, natural light
or studio setting, of a single person or multiple. Learn
how to use natural light in portraits, pose your subject,
perspective in doing portraits of children, teens and
adults, using the natural background, etc. Be sure to
bring your camera for a hands-on practice session.

Taking photographs of pets can sometimes be as
difficult as shooting a starry night. At least with stars,
they tend to stay put in one place for several minutes.
But with a few simple tricks and camera settings to
keep in mind, it’s not impossible to capture amazing,
professional-looking photos of these important family
members, worthy of hanging on the wall next to pics
of the children, parents, grandparents, friends or
other important photos. Learn how to get your pet to
cooperate, what equipment and camera settings to use
and how to take action shots of your pets.

The science behind photography, and capturing
a well exposed balanced photo, is all about how
a camera captures light, so understanding how to
control exposure is essential to becoming a good
photographer. In this course we’re going to go over
the three components of exposure, aperture, ISO, and
Shutter Speed, which make up the exposure triangle.
When you understand these three components, then
you will be well on your way to capturing beautiful and
captivating photographs. Make sure you bring your
camera.

Have you attempted to take a photograph of the
moon and only get a bright blob for your efforts?
How about trying to take photographs of fireworks
without the results you were looking for? Night and
low light photography presents special challenges
which with a little instruction can be overcome.
Although not essential, it is much easier to accomplish
excellent results with a Digital Single Lens Reflex
(DSLR) camera since manual adjustments can be
made to the camera settings. This course will give
you information that will get you started in taking
those elusive night shots you have been seeking.

where people have been found to live to more than
100 years of age. These areas are in Italy, Japan, Costa
Rica, and the United States. The class will explore
whether it might be possible for us to develop a

would live longer and better than in other areas of
the world, and, hopefully without pills and surgery.
The class will also study some of the changes to
make in our present lives and what we would have to

Tame Your Psyche
February 25, 2016
All disease can be linked to one of seven biological
imbalances. These imbalances are agreed upon
by both conventional and alternative providers.
However, one of the most important ways to keep
the body healthy is by balancing the psychological,
spiritual and emotional state. If one’s psychological,
spiritual and emotional state is out of balance, this
throws the other systems out of balance which can
lead to disease. In this information-packed lecture,
Dr. Yousef Elyaman will show you how to “Tame
Your Psyche”.
Recharge Your System NEW

Elyaman will discuss what happens during sleep
and how to properly recharge your system.
Turn on Your Healing Switch
May 12, 2016

lecture Dr. Yousef Elyaman will discuss the latest
research in the mind and body connection and
show you how to “Turn on Your Healing Switch”.

Check-ups, vaccines and proper transporting

it may seem that our indoor kitty friends do not need
annual visits to their doctors, it is very important that
all cats get annual “wellness visits”. Senior cats (age
ten +) may even need biannual exams with blood work.
Learn more about these requirements. Cats also need
annual vaccines. We will be discussing which vaccines
are most important and the pros and cons of each
vaccine. Techniques to get your cat into the carrier
and best ways to keep them calm in the car will be
demonstrated. If transporting your cat is not possible,
we will explore other available options to keep your

Big Balance Theory
3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
The ‘Big Balance Theory’ is
simply this: you can gain control
over fear and reduce your risk of

of a fall can be devastating. The
good news is that falls are not
an expected part of the aging
process; they are due in large
part to a set of risk factors that
can be managed. The Big Balance
Theory will address these risk
factors and help you to gain
control over them. The 45-minute
lecture will be followed by 30 minutes of simple, seated
and standing exercises that you can do at home to keep

“People like us come together to share an experience

question rather than agree with one another. Socrates
questioning was intended to help people become more
thoughtful and tolerant and rational. What connects us

the school year. Each week the student will receive a
book to take home to develop a library of their own.
The volunteer training lasts two and half hours. If we
have enough interest it will be held at MTP.

Carter’s recent book and how he is a model for the
greatness that people can achieve in their encore
years.

Gates, Buffet and Zuckerberg NEW

Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan, Bill and
Melinda Gates, and Warren Buffet are just of few
of the corporate leaders serving as role models
for how to give back. Find out more about these
philanthropists, what motivates them, and how this
is shaping giving in America.
Mother Theresa: Acts of Kindness NEW
1:00 – 2:00 PM
Mother Theresa’s story was recently shared in
a heartwarming movie about her life. She gave
unconditionally to others, serving as a role model
for the world. Why are some individuals like Mother
Theresa more altruistic than others? Is altruism
learned or innate from birth? Students will review
her life and use it as a springboard to discuss
altruism and acts of kindness.
Master the Possibilities is already working on our
summer class line-up. We are looking for experienced
teachers or speakers about the following areas:
* United States history, geography and government
* Famous American inventors and scientists
* Native American, folk and traditional art and
crafts
* American music, film and literature

TESTIMONIALS
What Master the Possibilities students
are saying on recent surveys….
I’ve just newly discovered you so my input is limited. I’m so utterly impressed with the
almost 500 offerings to the community for little or nothing monetarily and I loved each
presentation. I really have no negative comments or constructive criticism, well maybe one: it
takes me an hour to get there (from Dunnellon), so could you move the facility closer to me?
. . . . . .
Let me begin by saying that MTP now is head and shoulders above what it was
when Barb and I moved to OTOW in 2012. You have done a fantastic job!
. . . . . .
I just returned home and had the opportunity to get a catalog. I signed up for my programs
online when the enrollment opened. Back to the catalog ... I was very impressed with the
layout, 4 color printing, format etc. Congrats to you and your staff on a very impressive
publication.
. . . . . .
I am always impressed by the quality of classes, instructors and organization of the
program. I am proud to have this type of education programming in my community.
. . . . . .
Congratulations on the excellent courses that you offer. The staff is excellent, friendly, and
efficient. The instructors are excellent, very knowledgeable, the best. Thank you for all the
great work that you do.
. . . . . .
I rate the MTP program highly and see it as a jewel that helps elevate our community
above other active senior communities.
. . . . . .
The staff is very kind to us and very efficient.
. . . . . .
The variety, time frames and venue choices are much better tailored to expected
crowds over this past year. Keep up the good work!
. . . . . .
You cover a lot of aspects. What’s not to like?
