Vintage videos will help to bring these weddings to life. Join us for a glamorous foray into former wedding finery! Our presenter is Karen (Ren) Antonowicz, who has a Master’s Degree in Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design, with a concentration in Historic Costume & Textiles from the University of RI.

Monday, July 13th at 1:30 p.m. Mindfulness with Neil Motenko


Mindfulness can help us “turn in” to meet whatever arises in our lives with openness, curiosity, and a fresh approach — a quality of “beginner’s mind."  A Series on Mindfulness with Neil Motenko will continue with an exploration of these foundational notions and review of how they can make a difference in the way we handle our challenges.  The session will be interactive, include guided practices including an “open awareness” form of meditation, and cover basic mindfulness principles.  Newcomers are always welcome.  

Tuesday, July 14th at 1:30 p.m.
