Los Angeles–based professional dance company Invertigo Dance Theatre (Invertigo) is offering weekly live Dancing Through Parkinson's (DTP) classes via Zoom on Thursdays at 1:30 PT/3:30 CT/4:30 ET. Visit invertigodance.org/dancing-through-parkinsons for more information. For the past nine years, the company has offered free (donations accepted) weekly dance classes in studios throughout Southern California to people living with Parkinson’s. View the first online classes here: invertigodance.org/dancing-through-parkinsons.  The classes mirror the experience and progression of a professional dance class with movement executed from wheelchairs, walkers, chairs, or while standing. The curriculum is designed specifically to meet the needs of people with Parkinson’s disease from newly diagnosed to late stages. The series is equally beneficial for aging populations and anyone with a different neurological diagnosis. The DTP online classes are modeled after the in-person studio classes. No dance experience is required to take part in the online or live classes. Teachers Kelsey Ang, Linda Berghoff, Heidi Buehler, Jess Evans, Haylee Nichele, and Rachel Whiting—representing the five different studio classes—each lead a segment featuring their unique styles and music selections. DTP participants move at their own pace, and every section of the class is designed with seated modifications for those who need to remain seated or who would like to take a break from standing. Classes are open to everyone; family and caregivers are also encouraged to participate. Each session begins with a seated warm-up that incorporates breath work, upper body stretches, and joint mobility. Participants perform seated choreography, tap work, and muscular brain teasers. For the next section of the class, members progress into a modified ballet barre segment—either standing with a chair or sitting—and then move through standing or seated center traveling steps and enjoy some creative at-home improvisation. The class’s traditional end—a circle of gratitude—has been adapted into an individual hand-on-heart gesture, where all participants join in a collective breath of thanks for this opportunity to remain connected to community.

We want to invite our fellow men to the online Men's Healing Circulo. All are welcomed. “Healing Circles” or Circulo de Hombres is where men are gathered and integrated with other male role models and mentors to nurture, guide, and support positive Healing and Healthy Masculinity. This allows a forum to have participants realistically look within themselves and where they want to go in the future. It also allows working out problems and difficulties within the group itself. It provided men a place to discuss our Regalos/Gifts and/or a Cargas/ Baggage, providing guidance, life skills teachings, character development, substance abuse treatment, mentoring, and violence prevention for our relatives.

The Center of Calm Meditation Group invites you to join us at 6:30 P.M. Thursday evenings, from July 29 - August 26 at Unity of the Hill County, 1016 Jefferson Street in Kerrville. Since the Transcendental Meditation movement began to gain popularity in l955, the word meditation has become commonplace in our vocabularies; but, unfortunately, the true meaning of the word has often been obscured by the way the practice of meditation has been promoted. Meditation was practiced by ancient peoples as a way to consciously connect with the divine; and as a way to achieve spiritual enlightenment. In this class, we will explore the objectives and benefits of meditation; the tools and techniques for developing a successful practice; and also the value of group meditation. Science has demonstrated that the effects of regular meditation are very real -- both in the lives of individuals and throughout the world as its energies are released. Love Offering. Week 1. July 29:  What IS Meditation?   Common Misconceptions;  objectives; realistic approaches.  Does it make any REAL difference?  Science weighs in.
