Are you looking to cultivate a mind that is more peaceful? More capable of navigating challenges with a little more grace and effectiveness? Or to simply be more awake and present in each moment? Interested? Why not try our local Mindfulness group, which has been meeting since the Fall of 2015? It is free, and meets on Zoom on Tuesday evenings 7:00 – 8:15 pm. A typical session will begin with a mindfulness meditation, slightly guided, to be followed by discussion and Q&A, and then a guided introduction to a related mindfulness practice such as kindness, compassion, or gratitude; contemplations for working with physical and emotional pain; and mindful eating exercises. The class is open to those new to mindfulness meditation and also to those with experience. Participants will gain the experience and confidence to cultivate their own personal at-home practice. The program runs on Zoom, and you will have the option of just calling in on a regular phone in which case you can hear our discussion and participate in it verbally (and we can hear you) OR connecting to the meeting via the internet on your computer, laptop, or smart phone – in which case you will be able to see and hear everyone and we can all hear you if you speak (and we can see you if you choose to be visible). If you have never done this, believe me it is not that hard. Over 250 people have participated in our Zoom Mindfulness program. On a typical Tuesday night there will be about 35 – 45 participants. Attendance at all sessions is not required, but momentum will build from week to week. If you are interested, the first step is for you to let me know by sending an email to [email protected], confirming that you would like to be included on the invitation list. If so, I will then send you an email with instructions about how to join the ZOOM meeting either by phone or computer. I look forward to practicing mindfulness with you. ------- Greg Topakian, Ph.D., is a long time educator and actuary. Over the past forty years, he has balanced his professional life with a daily practice of yoga and mindfulness meditation. During that period Greg has participated in several long term retreats to deepen his concentration and awareness. Now in semi-retirement, Greg teaches mindfulness to employees of local colleges, town governments, and corporations across the state. Every Spring and Fall, he offers a multi-week Introduction to Mindfulness at the Westborough Library. Since Covid, the group has been meeting weekly on Zoom. ----- For more information, please call the library at 508-366-3050. https://westborough.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/mindfulness-drop-in-course-zoom-online-12/

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** We are super excited to be partnering with bookstore owners of Read My Lips Boston for this special series! Hear about the best ROMANCE book recommendations with BIPOC/LGBTQ+/Neurodivergent/Disabled etc. characters or by representative authors. Join book store owners (and twin sisters!), Lily and Hannah Barrett, quarterly for 30 minutes of pure romance book recommendations - that are by diverse authors or have inclusive storylines! We're sure you'll find something to like from Lily and Hannah's many enthusiastic reviews. Register directly on Zoom HERE. You can sign up for one session or for all! Run by twin sisters Lily and Hannah Barrett, Read My Lips Boston is a pop-up diverse romance bookshop based in the Boston area. Read My Lips partners with breweries and cafes to host mobile shops with love stories starring those identifying as BIPOC, disabled, queer, big-bodied, and members of other groups historically underrepresented in the romance genre. To Lily and Hannah, elevating their community is paramount; The shop gives 10% of its proceeds to area nonprofits. Read My Lips' mission addresses a gap the sisters felt growing up. Born deaf, they received cochlear implants as toddlers. Their parents read to them, teaching them speech and fostering a love of reading. Growing up, Lily and Hannah loved romance novels but struggled to find characters they could relate to. They started Read My Lips because they believe everyone deserves to be seen as the hero — not typecast as a villain or sidekick based on white, cis, hetero, straight-bodied and abled standards. Please register for this event and you'll receive the link in the confirmation and reminder emails - make sure to check your spam folder for them, the email will be coming from Zoom.

Experience the calming power of movement and breath in our Slow Vinyasa Flow Program. This gentle yet dynamic yoga class is designed for those looking to build strength, flexibility, and balance while cultivating mindfulness and relaxation. What is Slow Vinyasa Flow?

In this slower-paced class, transitions between poses are deliberate and mindful, allowing for greater focus on alignment, breath control, and the sensations of each movement. What to Bring: Comfortable clothing, a yoga mat or large towel, water, and an open mind! Yoga blocks are suggested for your comfort, but not required. Our instructor, Pauline Estey, graduated from the American Academy of Personal Training in June 2016, and is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. She has been teaching yoga to children and adults at libraries and fitness centers since 2018. Please note: This is an adult event.

The materials used are semi-precious stones and other natural jewelry materials.  Semi-precious stones have been appreciated for generations for their unique beauty and healing and grounding properties. Join Zangar Freeman, BSW, Artist and Mental Health Coach, for this interactive  and meditative program, where participants will gain the creative power to express how they feel and see how their feelings look in the form of the art they produced. Each participant will keep all the pieces they make. ****** About the instructor: Zangar Freeman is a first-generation Liberian-American jewelry artist, educator, and veteran who integrates cultural storytelling and art therapy practices into his beadwork. With a background in social work and a deep appreciation for community connection, he has taught beadwork and expressive arts across the lifespan, working with youth clubs, community centers, senior centers, and schools. His workshops foster third spaces through library programming, creating environments where people can connect, reflect, and express themselves through art. Zangar’s journey with jewelry-making began over a decade ago and deepened through his study abroad experience in San Miguel de Allende, where he refined his skills in working with fine materials such as silver and gold. A former U.S. Marine specializing in aviation administration, he later transitioned into social work, serving as a case manager and transitional advocate for diverse populations. He rediscovered beadwork as a grounding tool during his military service and now shares this craft as both a therapeutic and artistic practice, emphasizing creativity, individuality, and the power of handmade art to celebrate culture and personal expression. https://westborough.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/bead-therapy-workshop-with-zangar-freeman/
