Self-Portrait Painting: Being Frida
Fine Arts & Crafts
Use the art of Frida Kahlo and her spirit of fiercely-authentic self-reflection to invoke your own inner strength and resilience. She transformed her trauma into powerful portraits of healing, beauty, and creativity. We will take a selfie within a female circle, convert it into a black-and-white image, and learn to transfer it in ink onto canvas, then paint the headpiece and background in vivid colors. Embellish the face with empowering attributes as we dive into the unconscious and explore our roots in this collective meditative process. Includes all materials.

Sunset & City Lights Kayak Tour
Out & About
After a quick introduction to kayak strokes, we’ll launch our double kayaks and begin our sightseeing. We’ll paddle past the Great Dome of MIT, cross the Charles to the Esplanade, and take in the skyline, including the Hancock and Prudential buildings, Citgo sign, State House dome, and the financial district. After viewing a beautiful sunset and illuminated skyline, the guide will talk about the history and architecture of the city, then the group will enjoy a serene and quiet paddle back to the dock. Children ages 12+ are welcome to register if accompanied by a registered adult.

Jewelry Making: It’s a Wrap!
Fine Arts & Crafts
Create a contemporary bracelet you’ll get all wrapped up in! If you’ve seen the high fashion “Chan Luu” bracelets selling for $190 or more, you’ll be excited to learn that you can make your own—with your own designer touch. Learn basic laddering techniques to combine leather cording, glass beads, crystals, or semi-precious stones. Add a button closure to make a stunning statement piece. We will discuss bead selection, material sizing, and thread extension methods. No experience required.

Chair Yoga
Fitness & Dance
One great thing about yoga is that it can be adapted to suit anyone’s needs. Chair yoga is especially beneficial for beginners, senior citizens, people with injuries, or those looking to learn how to apply yoga techniques at the office. As we practice chair yoga, our bodies relax and our minds quiet. During our time together, we will increase our self-awareness and revitalize our lives. Yoga has been proven to improve strength and flexibility as well as reduce stress and manage pain. The chair yoga postures taught in this class can be integrated throughout your day.

BollyX LIT (Low Impact)
Fitness & Dance
This class is the low-impact version–but still high energy–of the Bollywood-inspired dance-fitness program. At the very core of a BollyX workout is the inspiration it draws from the infectious energy, expression, and movement of the music and dance of Bollywood, the film industry of India. Follow along, learn the dance moves as you go, and get a great cardio workout to get you moving, sweating, and smiling. No previous dance experience is required!
