Additional Info: Harmonicas for health has been endorsed by IU Health Bloomington Hospital’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation program. Harmonicas can enhance lung function and capacity. All wind instruments can claim this benefit, but the harmonica is special because you play the instrument while inhaling and exhaling, so lung control is improved in both directions. Better lung function means better health over all. This fun, free and inclusive class concentrates on exercises that mainly strengthen the diaphragm, the major set of muscles used in breathing. Just five minutes daily of harmonica exercise can make a difference. Participants may join at any time, and a free harmonica will be provided, along with handouts for practice at home.

Mary Jane Gormley is an author, musician, calligrapher and copy editor. She finds the harmonica to be a special delight, although she concedes her enthusiasm “outruns” her talent. Despite her modesty, Mary Jane has enriched and touched the lives of many, many students over the years she has offered this popular class through the Endwright Center.

Falling is currently the number one cause of serious injury in older adults, therefore, good balance is an extremely important aspect of maintaining an active lifestyle as we age. Fortunately, balance can be improved through a variety of strength, flexibility and stability exercises. This class will teach and reinforce basic skills to help maintain and improve balance in order to prevent the occurrence of falls. Therabands, along with many body weight exercises, will be used to help strengthen muscles associated with balance and coordination and increase stabilization. Payment options are available upon request.

A six week class, with classes every Friday morning. Classes begin on May 1st.

Unwind and add some sparkle to your weekend!

In this 2 hour jewelry making session you will make a ring with any stone you choose from our crystal shop!

This class includes:

One Healing Crystal
Magical Thinking: 101 mini-book
Complimentary wine or tea
All the supplies needed to create your one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry

This class is taught by jewelry designer and healing crystal expert, Jessica Ann Miller. Because she a crystal healer, you will be able to ask any question you have ever had about crystals!

How the piece is made:

Electroforming is a type of modern alchemy where particles of copper form a coating through electrodeposition. Pure copper is known to amplify crystal energy, boosts flow of chi and brings vitality and luck. Once you design your piece, you leave it with us to complete the electroforming process. It takes 12-36 hours to get a nice copper deposition. You can take a peak in our studio to see what’s ‘cooking’. Your jewelry piece will be available for pick up approximately one week after class date.

Comedic Drama Series
Anna Capable is a hoarder. The stacks of McDonald’s happy meal toys, beanie babies, and useless junk pile straight up to the ceiling, forcing her daughter, Jessy, to call a TV network in hopes of clearing the mess and curing her mother. But the TV network’s producer, David, is looking for more than just another cluttered home to get the ratings he needs. With his career on the line, he’s hungry to expose the Capables’ dirty laundry—whether it’s in their house, or their personal lives—at all costs.
