Tai Chi Session 2 - Hermon Covey Physical Therapy
Dr. Marina Moscone, DPT
Tai chi is a series of gentle physical exercises and stretches. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion. Tai chi is sometimes described as meditation in motion because it promotes serenity through gentle movements — connecting the mind and body. As we age or recover from an injury our ability to allow enough movement to balance becomes altered. Come learn balance and flexibility. Avoid re-injury! All classes are taught by therapists and they can easily provide modifications if needed. Classes held at Hermon Covey Physical Therapy - 2263 RT. 2, Hermon, ME. Six classes per session. Please indicate which session you would like to register for. To be considered registered, class fee must be paid in full.
Session 2: Tuesdays 12/5/23 - 1/9/24 6 - 6:45 pm

Holocaust History - 6 weeks
This 6 hour /6 night course will begin with a history of the Holocaust including a brief history of the Jewish Religion, its persecution and the progression of the Nazi Ideology throughout Europe. We will then make the connection with the exploration of different ethical, legal, and moral issues related to the Holocaust. We will also explore modern day genocides in places like Rwanda, Darfur, and Bosnia. Other examples of genocide will also be discussed, for example, the Armenian Genocide in the early 1900s - which the United States just designated as a genocide. To tackle these difficult topics, we will be using first hand accounts from victims and survivors through the use of letters, diary excerpts, and testimony from survivors. There is no text book for this class - but you will receive information from me, the internet, and materials that I handout!
