Get your Saturdays off to a great start with our third 3week session of Zumba Gold Classes. We are thrilled to be collaborating with the Town of Marbletown Parks, Trails and Recreation Department to offer you these exercise classes free of charge.

Zumba Gold is a dance fitness program instructed by licensed instructor, Donna Ebanks and is suited for anyone needing lower impact Zumba classes. This class is slower paced and will focus on balance, coordination and flexibility. Its a great way for seniors, anyone with mobility issues, or those just beginning their fitness journey, to get started.

*You should check with your doctor before starting this or any exercise program.*

Registration is required for each class.

The Stone Ridge Library Knitters meet every Saturday morning from 10am – 12noon. All ages and experience levels can join us and drop-in knitters are also welcome. We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you’re likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you’re going with a project.

Awaken Joy: Mindfulness and the Art of Savoring

Monday, May 20, 2-3:30

Activity Room

Join Stephanie Speer for an invitation to cultivate the Art of Savoring as a simple and powerful practice for taking in the good, awakening joy, and improving psychological wellbeing. During our time together, we will be using the tools of mindfulness to come to our senses, by being aware and awake in the present moment, that we may recognize the delights that are available in the ordinary and the extraordinary experiences of our daily lives.

Stephanie Speer is an instructor of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and has been teaching mindfulness practices to individuals and groups for over 30 years. She received her Masters in Humanistic Education from Goddard College and completed her MBSR professional training from Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Her professional work and personal life has been informed by 35 years of meditation practice and Buddhist studies. As a long term resident of Ulster County, she continues to enjoy the beauty, serenity, and simplicity of living in this rural area which has helped to sustain her meditation practice and enabled her to enter the busyness of the world with greater calm and ease.
