....space for healing, community Toward the end of summer, please visit these pages again for information about the 2010-2011 program year at The Center. This includes seasonal Wednesday evening terms as well as a variety of offerings at other times. Classes, workshops, and other events are coordinated by Program Director Cherry Haisten ( or 206-523-7476, ext. 304). Here are the dates for the regularly scheduled Wednesday evening terms: Winter ~ January 19-February 16, 2011 Lent ~ March 16-April 13, 2011 Spring ~ May 4-June 1, 2011 Our Monday afternoon Yoga class has become a staple at The Center at St. Andrew's and so popular that we may have to limit class size next year. Be sure to get your registration in early! Gentle Yoga with Wendy for Seniors and Others Monday Afternoons 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Classes resume in the fall with three ten-week series through the 2010-2011 program year. Winter ~ January 24-April 4, 2011 (except February 21) Spring ~ May 2-July 18, 2011 (except May 30 and July 4) Stretching and moving muscles, bones and tissues brings forth a gentle experience of well-being and moves us slowly into awareness of the spirit, mind, body connection. Each student is invited-- "gently and without pressure--" to explore his or her edge and to embody a new sense of flexibility and balance.  Instructor Wendy Townsend has loved yoga since she discovered it forty years ago. A teacher since 1999, she demonstrates simple poses slowly. Many of her students--age three to 100--have found her classes so rewarding they have been taking them for years. She honors each student's uniqueness and believes the benefits of yoga are healthy for any age. Registration fee: $60 seniors; $70 others. Subtract $10 a week in advance. All About Wednesday Evenings at The Center at St. Andrew's Next Center Wednesday evening classes begin at the end of September. These evenings buzz with the life of our learning community-made up of regulars, newcomers, returning students and one-timers. All are welcome-once or many times! Our Center Wednesday evenings follow the same rhythm throughout the year. For those drawn to silent prayer and meditation, we begin with Centering Prayer at 5:45 PM in the Chapel. At 6:15 PM supper is served in the Parish Hall. Classes begin at 7 PM. Suppers are not only the best meal deal in town (at $6), they are also a wonderful opportunity to visit and to get to know each other better. Childcare is available with at least 24 hours' notice. Registration Details Most (not all) classes offered at The Center have a course fee to enable us to offer a breadth of courses with gifted instructors and facilitators. If you can add a little extra to your fee, you can make it possible for someone who can't afford the fee to take a class. A money-saving strategy: pay your fee at least one week ahead of class and get a $10 price break. Students, seniors, and low-income always get that $10 break. Early registration not only gives you a lower fee, it also helps with planning. Please fill out a registration form to help The Center staff keep track of pertinent info. Registration forms available by emailing The Center office . Scholarships Available-Seriously!! Full or partial scholarships are always available. If you cannot afford the full fee, please do not hesitate to ask for a scholarship. We are serious about welcoming all not only to the table at St. Andrew's, but also to all classes. There is no fancy paperwork, just a friendly conversation to express your need and to be given what you ask for! |
