Learn about textiles
On March 26 at 1 p.m. join educators from the Shaker Heritage Museum as we learn about the simple, but beautiful textiles produced by the Shakers in the program Monday Musings: The Fabrics of Their Lives - Shaker Textiles. While the Shakers were known for their simple garments, they were also recognized for producing high quality fabrics and accessories. View images of textiles from the Shaker Heritage Society collection and examine reproduction garments. Try spinning on a drop spindle and weaving on a loom and take home samples of natural fibers and fabrics. Registrations is required.
Storytime
On March 27 at 10:45 a.m. drop in and get ready to move in this interactive storytime designed especially for children up to age 5 and their caregivers. We'll read books, sing songs, recite fingerplays, dance and watch a short movie based on a weekly theme. No registration is required.
Mahjong Mania
Every Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m., including on March 27, a spirited group of people get together in the Community Room to play Mahjong. Don’t know how to play? No problem! They will teach you how. No registration is required.
Insight Meditation
On March 27 at 5:15 p.m. join us for a simple group Azaen meditation practice. All are welcome. This is a place to sit still in safety; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to cultivate loving - kindness and acceptance. Sitting here patiently in the unfolding of our community will help transform our world. All are welcome! No registration is required.
Wednesday Matinee
On March 28 at 1 p.m., watch "Hidden Figures" (PG). As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life story.
Knitting Circle
On March 29, at 7 p.m., friendly ladies (men are welcome, but we haven't seen any yet!) will knit and crochet, embroider and quilt, and more. You can learn a new skill here or share your own special talents with others- or just craft in the company of friends.
Drop in anytime! No registration is required.
