Postcard History Series: Mystic - An Author Event!

Two authors share their new book about Mystic! Wednesday, June 21 at 7 p.m.

Mystic has a history that stretches back beyond the founding of the nation. Starting as a Native American settlement, the area eventually became a part of the United States after the Revolutionary War. As the nation grew, so did Mystic, with the village using its unique location to serve both the fishing industry and the US Navy. In its current state, Mystic serves as both a cradle to Connecticut's oldest families and a tourist attraction for those wanting to sample vintage New England life.

Authors Jade Huguenin and Martin Smith share their book and the history of Mystic in this exciting talk! Books will be available for purchase and signing.

This program is free and open to the public; no registration is required.

Mindfulness Meditation with Kristin of Skillful Meanz!

Monthly Thursday Sessions Continue: March 9, May 4 and June 15; 12:30-2:00 pm
(April 13 session canceled)

 

These monthly meditation classes, led by Kristin of Skillful Meanz, will present a refresher or introduction to the foundations of a formal mindfulness practice. Through modern scientific research, this type of meditation has been shown to have many potential health benefits- both physical and mental- and has therefore become quite popular recently, though it has been around a very long time. The classes will cover mindfulness of breath, of body, of thoughts, and of emotions, and will consist of some discussions and some guided meditations. The goal is to get you started on developing a personal practice of your own that you will continue long after the class is over.

Registration is required for this free series of classes; please sign up here or call for assistance.
