Celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with Romance Author Camilla Evergreen: "How to Find Love When You're Weird"   We are thrilled to be chatting with romance author Camilla Evergreen whose book "How to Find Love When You're Weird" makes it clear that people on the spectrum, (in fact, ALL people) are worthy of love and an HEA (happily ever after). In fact, we would posit, that it's the very neurodiverse characteristics that make someone even more attractive to the right person. We can't wait for this conversation and hope you can join us! You can buy signed books (by bookplate) by Camilla from Aesop's Fable. Just write that you would like the book signed in the notes section at checkout.    Register via Zoom   About the book: I am a perfectly functional adult. So why is it so hard to get a date? When my father decided last year that I wouldn’t receive my inheritance until I am in a stable relationship, I let the ever-important deadline slip through the cracks. Why bother dating, when I can read, right? Wrong. Now, I have less than two months to find love if I’m going to inherit my cottage home, and even with a stack of self-help books a mile high, things are not looking good. The only man who’s graced me with more than five minutes of his attention is a giant tattooed bar owner. Sure, he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. And, sure, he keeps appearing in my life. And…sure…when we enter into a fake/practice dating collaboration, it seems an awful lot like the start of a rom-com, but there’s no way our little stint turns into anything else. I absolutely refuse to date anyone who drinks. He may be the gentlest grump now, but I know what alcohol does to people, and I am not looking for someone I think I can trust to hurt me again. No matter what, follow point #1 on my outline: Do NOT fall in love.   About Camila: Camilla Evergreen is an alias of USA Today bestselling author Anne Stryker. Originally intended as a dumping ground for all things lacking fantasy, Camilla/Anne came to the shocking discovery that writing sarcastic, chaotic romcoms full of quippy heroines and adoring heroes has a kick to it. Camilla/Anne’s neurodivergent tendencies leave her hyperfocused on writing sweet and sassy romances from dawn till dusk and lending whatever her current creative obsessions are to her characters. From arranged marriages to falling for the boss, there’s lots of love to go around.      This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and in partnership with a multitude of MA Libraries. https://woburnpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-romance-author-camilla-evergreen-how-to-find-love-when-youre-weird/

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), strengthening the immune system for the changing seasons involves a holistic approach that includes dietary adjustments, herbal remedies, and lifestyle changes. For summer and fall, it's recommended to focus on foods that nourish the spleen and stomach, the organs associated with late summer and considered central to digestion and immunity. Incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into one's diet, practicing mindfulness exercises, and considering TCM herbal formulas like Jade Windscreen can be beneficial. Additionally, acupuncture and moderate exercise are suggested to maintain balance and support the body's defenses. Presented by Ivy Chen, Licensed Acupuncturist & Chinese Herbalist of Medilotus Acupuncture & Herbs LLC, Woburn. Registration is requested, but not required.

In this workshop, participants will learn and practice improvisation activities and techniques that will help to improve expressive language skills as well promote faster thinking and decrease stress. Research has shown that learning improv can help to “retrain” the brain to actively listen, communicate more effectively, be more open to ideas, and work collaboratively. Plus, because improv is a lot of fun, it is a great stress reliever as well. Participants in Adult improv workshops find that they laugh a lot and that getting in touch with their creative sides brings them peace and happiness. Presented by Meredith Charles, proprietor of Drama out of the Box. Free. No experience necessary. Registration is requested, but not required.   This program is sponsored by the Woburn Public Library Foundation. https://woburnpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/improv-workshop-for-adults-17/

Classes are vinyasa based with a dynamic blend of flowing sequences, conscious breathing, and functional movements. The goal is to challenge students, yet provide a meditative atmosphere, where emphasis on breathwork and a steady pace foster mental clarity and focus. While each class is infused with Bill's unique creativity, rest assured that every session prioritizes safety and is grounded in movements designed to cultivate strength, stability, and success. It's your time to nurture patience, deepen your mind-body connection, and embark on a journey of personal growth. *Please bring your own mat (required) and support blocks (if desired).   About the Instructor Meet Bill Hennigan a lifelong Woburn resident, a seasoned yogi and retired professional and business owner who has dedicated years to perfecting his craft that will be leading our classes. As a certified RYT 200 vinyasa teacher, he imparts his wisdom through fluid movement and meaningful connection. Bill's aim is simple: to leave you feeling empowered and ready to tackle whatever comes next, recognizing the vital role of health and wellness in our individual journeys. With a profound understanding of the human body and its mechanics, Bill strikes a harmonious balance between strength training and mindfulness, honed over countless hours of personal experience, marked by a couple of tattoos and a refreshingly down-to-earth perspective on life. When he's not leading classes at the yoga studio or gym, Bill can be found immersing himself in the great outdoors or honing his skills in improv classes, always seeking opportunities to connect with others and embrace life's adventures.   This program is sponsored by the Woburn Public Library Foundation. https://woburnpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/vinyasa-flow-yoga-21/

Oil Painting used to be the top in the historic artistic journey of painting. It was after you became familiar with the proper drawing techniques and after practicing Watercolor for a good while. Oil Painting, now along with Acrylic Painting, has a major fundamental scope and directive that the other two mediums contribute to, but in most cases has a more tested impressive effect, base of utility, and additional artistic knowledge. There are many different types of Oil/Acrylic painting levels that you can convey to suit your own style. Joseph will start you with the basic rules and all of the initial steps, the tools, the grounds, the theories, mediums, and especially the paints. All of which should bring you up to any stage of the process you may like and further! Painting with oil and/or Acrylic has a more direct feel to it. Some of these hands-on classes will present it to you. If you are doing Oil or Acrylic painting now or would like to learn all the important variant essentials, especially the harmful areas to stay away from, then you will want to take this significant class! This class is open to adults and teens.  All necessary materials will be provided. Please note, this is a 5 part class. Each class is progressive, so when you register for the first class, you automatically will be registered to attend all the classes in this series. Attendees should expect to attend all or most sessions.   This program is sponsored by the Woburn Public Library Foundation. https://woburnpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/oil-and-acrylic-painting-5/

This is the story of the men and women of the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives division of the US Army during WWII…the Monuments Men. They risked their lives to protect, salvage, restore and return works of art that were systematically damaged, destroyed, misappropriated or stolen in Europe between the years 1933 (when Hitler became the German chancellor) and 1945 (when the war ended). Though hundreds of thousands of items remain missing or destroyed, through the efforts of the Monuments Men, five million objects were recovered, saving important pieces of history and culture for posterity. Our talk will also feature up to date information about restitution claims in process even now. Presented by Mary Woodward. Snacks will be served.  Registration is requested, but not required.   This program is sponsored by the Woburn Public Library Foundation. https://woburnpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/monuments-men/

Classes are vinyasa based with a dynamic blend of flowing sequences, conscious breathing, and functional movements. The goal is to challenge students, yet provide a meditative atmosphere, where emphasis on breathwork and a steady pace foster mental clarity and focus. While each class is infused with Bill's unique creativity, rest assured that every session prioritizes safety and is grounded in movements designed to cultivate strength, stability, and success. It's your time to nurture patience, deepen your mind-body connection, and embark on a journey of personal growth. *Please bring your own mat (required) and support blocks (if desired).   About the Instructor Meet Bill Hennigan a lifelong Woburn resident, a seasoned yogi and retired professional and business owner who has dedicated years to perfecting his craft that will be leading our classes. As a certified RYT 200 vinyasa teacher, he imparts his wisdom through fluid movement and meaningful connection. Bill's aim is simple: to leave you feeling empowered and ready to tackle whatever comes next, recognizing the vital role of health and wellness in our individual journeys. With a profound understanding of the human body and its mechanics, Bill strikes a harmonious balance between strength training and mindfulness, honed over countless hours of personal experience, marked by a couple of tattoos and a refreshingly down-to-earth perspective on life. When he's not leading classes at the yoga studio or gym, Bill can be found immersing himself in the great outdoors or honing his skills in improv classes, always seeking opportunities to connect with others and embrace life's adventures.   This program is sponsored by the Woburn Public Library Foundation. https://woburnpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/vinyasa-flow-yoga-22/
