Tarot offers a mirror to the soul. The cards depict our emotional and spiritual landscape and provide insight into our innermost selves. The cards validate our intuitive sense of knowing and open us up to greater awareness. By looking inward with a fresh perspective, we grow deeper in understanding of our lives, and gain confidence in walking the path of our destiny.  Join tarot teacher, Laura Campagna, for a fun workshop to learn how to read tarot. No experience necessary. Participants will connect with their intuition and gain confidence in reading for themselves or friends.  This is event is for teens in 7th grade and older. Bring your deck (if you have one!). Registration is recommended to guarantee your spot!Contact: Rosie : 781-821-5027 x4115 : rmoore@ocln.org [Teens]

Register Here:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6216597388937/WN_CSEw21acSFiGyc4T4BKUoAWe are living in a new urban age and its most tangible expression is the “supertall” building, megastructures that are dramatically bigger, higher, and more ambitious than any in history. Author, architect, and TED-Resident Stefan Al has worked on some of the largest buildings in the world. He reveals the advancements in engineering, design, and data science that have led to this worldwide boom. Drawing on examples from the past (the Empire State Building, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower) and present (Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, London’s Shard, Shanghai Tower), he describes how the most remarkable skyscrapers have been designed and built.Al explores the ingenious technological innovations in cement, wind resistance, elevator design, and air-conditioning that have made megastructures like the 160-stories-high Burj Khalifa a reality. And he examines the risks of wealth inequality, carbon emissions, and contagion these buildings yield, arguing for a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable built environment for everyone.This program is made possible by generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation.In partnership with Belmont Public Library, Canton Public Library, Needham Free Public Library, Maynard Public Library, and Newton Free Library. Contact: Carolyn Elkort : 7818215027 : celkort@ocln.org [Adult]
