When you look up at the night sky, have you ever wondered what you see there? What are the stars? How did they form? What are galaxies, nebulae, and black holes? In this course, geared towards people with an interest in astronomy but no special training, we’re going to explore our night sky, constellations, our solar system, our galaxy, and what lies beyond the far reaches of space. In addition, we’ll learn about past and current projects for space exploration, as well as future ideas for space travel. Our journey will also take us to black holes, quasars, supernovae, brown dwarfs, and the Big Bang. And lastly, we’ll explore in depth on how we make observations from earth, and touch on the mechanics of optical telescopes that aid us in exploring the night sky. At the end of this course, you will be able to look at the night sky with understanding and wonder at the marvels of the universe.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Level 1
With Jo-Anne Eadie Wed. Oct. 6 5 Sessions
Pauline Johnson C.V.S 7:00-9:30
Fee: $ 85.00 + 11.05 HST

Emotional Freedom Technique - EFT - taught and practiced over a five week period. You will learn the technique the first night and be able to go home and use it on yourself. Each week will build upon the next as we tackle issues of procrastination, weight, happiness, relationships, physical and emotional pain and more. See how easy it is to live a peaceful, prosperous, joyful life without old emotional pain that holds you back. Anxiety, Fears, Stress, Guilt, and Phobias. EFT doesn’t give you amnesia, you still remember a painful incident or problem, but you do not attach an emotional charge to it. This allows you to think the problem out easily and effortlessly and find a solution. Usually taught in a one day workshop, I have found that people have wanted to practice it more with guidance. EFT is a gift to yourself for life.

Bellydancing Fitness
With Elizabeth Vick Wed. Oct. 6 8 sessions
Pauline Johnson C.V.S. 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Fee: $75.00 + $9.75 HST

Bellydance: what an exotic-sounding word! It conjures up images of desert sheiks and harem girls; Scheherazade and the Arabian Nights; and camel caravans laden with rare silks, spices, and jewels. Belly dancing is natural to a woman’s bone and muscle structure with movements emanating from the torso rather than in the legs and feet. The dance often focuses upon isolating different parts of the body, moving them independently in sensuous patterns, weaving together the entire feminine form. If fun is what you are looking for, this is the workshop.
