IN-PERSON THURSDAYS
10:00 AM to 11:00 AM Session
A Little Tangle
Yoga with a Little Tangle!
We are trying something a little different during this class’s first and last week. Susan and Peggy think the Zen of Zentangle and the Zen of Yoga fit together. So the first and last week of this class, we bring them together. Susan will start with some Yoga, and then we will do “a little tangle.” Then finish up with Yoga.
Some of you aren’t interested in Zentangle. You can either give it a try or just bring something to work on quietly for the few minutes we are tangling. After the first week, this class will be all yoga!
Then the last week, we will have Yoga and then end with a little tangle. Again, if you aren’t interested in a tiny tangle, bring something meditative for you to be able to finish off the class.
For the three middle weeks, come and enjoy Susan’s calm lead with this yoga class and get a relaxed start to our summer session.

11:15 AM to 12:15 PM Sessions

Each week is a different kind of fun, so make sure you keep track of the schedule.

JULY 21st – Can you make wontons?
We are excited that Lifespan’s friend Haunani Kekuna has agreed to show us the wonderful art of folding wontons. I had the privilege of her teaching once, and I am looking forward to the refresher.
We are planning, is all works out, to have you actually build some wontons during class and then you get to taste the really good ones that we are asking the chef to pan fry for us.
Sound like fun?? You bet.

Artsy Fartsy
We have three weeks of Artsy Fartsy this session. The other two weeks of the session we are all meeting together for our Magic show and the history of Arts and scarf wrapping. Here are the three weeks of Artsy Fartsy:
June 30th and July 7th – Placemat Purse
For the first two weeks of our Summer Artsy Fartsy Series we are making placemat purses. We have set aside 2 weeks for this craft project, because there is a whole lot of glue drying going on. And REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR EMBELLISHMENTS!
If we have some extra time, we will be adding embellishments to hats. Several of you have asked if you can add things to a hat. Since we set aside two weeks for this project, when you have some extra time you can always work on a hat. We will have some additional things available if you want to add things to your hat project.
July 21st – Summer Welcome Wreath with Terry Preston
Terry Preston, from Long Leaf Hospice, is returning to offer us a fun summer craft project. We love having Terry visit us and we are glad to have her back.
You too can have a fun, summer crazy welcome wreath on your front door! And we can have fun creating it. Please come and join Terry for some creative fellowship. And hear about her Radical Readers and all the books she has collected.

Learning Canva – Peggy Palmiter
We will spend five weeks learning everything we can about CANVA and how to use it. We will start by pulling together all of the “digital assets” you want to use in your project and how to know exactly where everything is. Then we will begin to create.
We are in the process of creating wonderful things using Canva. Here is the link if you wish to attend the class virtually.
Virtual Fridays – Zentangle – 10:45 to 12:15
Zentangle with Hilary Smith
Many of us have become passionate about wonderful Zentangle! Because of our connection to Heritage Village in Bethlehem, PA, we have gained an amazing Zentangle teacher and a wonderful new group of Lifespan friends. Come and see what you can create – and be amazed.
We are excited to bring you this class, and Haunani and I are excited to lead two classes when Hilary is in Africa. We thought you might enjoy some new and different things.
