TAI CHI
The ancient art of Tai Chi uses gentle flowing movements to reduce the stress
of today’s busy lifestyles and improve health. Consider Tai Chi if you are looking
for an effective way to reduce stress. It was originally developed in ancient China
(1600s) for self-defense. Tai Chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that’s
now used for stress reduction, improving balance, and range of motion, energy
(Qi) flow, and to help with a variety of other health conditions.

RETIREMENT PLANNING IN TODAY’S ECONOMY
Planning for retirement is one of the most important—and bewildering—financial
processes you’ll ever experience. Retirement planning is complex and ever-changing,
so it’s easy to make mistakes that are difficult, if not impossible to reverse. And
managing your nest egg after you’re retired? That requires a completely different
set of skills. That’s why this course was developed—to address your biggest
concerns and give you the strategies, tools, skills, and knowledge to confidently
prepare for retirement. In two thought-provoking sessions, we’ll sift through the
mounds of confusing information, identify what applies to you and how it affects
your planning, and distill it into a personalized plan you can easily implement.

CASANOVA’S VENICE
In the eighteenth century, the city of Venice completed a transition from wealthy
maritime power to the uniquely seductive tourist destination we know today. We’ll
explore the history and culture of this decadent period through the extraordinary
life story of the legendary lover, Venice’s own Giacomo di Casanova. After a
Venetian-themed lunch accompanied by the music of Vivaldi, a variety of hands-on
activities will be offered. We’ll decorate traditional Carnevale masks, fashion beads,
and lace jewelry, and we will sample the bookmaker’s arts in honor of Venice’s
publishing heritage. As a nod to the Venetian mania for gambling, we’ll also play a
traditional game of the period.
