Qigong Class @ the Library
Donna Bunte of Donna Bunte Whole Health will teach a qigong class at Perrot Library on Monday, November 4th, from 9:15 to 10:15 am in the Program Room, Radcliffe Children’s Library.
Qigong is a form of meditation in motion that is at least 2,000 years old. It is a very calming routine used to increase mindfulness, and it is also used for building strength, balance, flexibility, and resiliency. The practice of qigong can be done standing or sitting and can be practiced by almost anyone young or old.
Donna has been practicing Chinese medicine since 1996 when she graduated from Chinese medical school in New York City and became a licensed acupuncturist in New York and Connecticut. Qigong and tai chi were her first introduction to Chinese medicine and energy exercises in 1980 in New York City, years before she studied Chinese medicine. Donna has studied with a variety of teachers, including Robert Peng and Daisy Lee, and began teaching qigong in Greenwich in 2017. She has taught classes locally since then, as well as online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Decorated Bird,” a Watercolor Workshop
Join us for a fall watercolor workshop, “The Decorated Bird,” with Hazel Jarvis on Monday, October 28, 1-3 pm in our Program Room, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Memorial Library.
While primarily a watercolor workshop, this program will include an option to add additional collage details. The finished design could be fairly simple, or it could be slightly more complicated, with a series of small birds. Both designs are very festive and lend themselves to multiple interpretations.
All students should wear old clothes and bring a pair of scissors.
Ms. Jarvis received a BA in History and Theory of Art from Sussex University in England. Upon moving to the United States, she studied botanical illustration in New York and, during a five-year residency in Tokyo in the 1990s, studied traditional Japanese painting.
Ms. Jarvis lives and teaches in Greenwich, Connecticut. For more information, visit her web site, and for an up-to-date view of her artwork, follow her on instagram @hazeljarvisstudio.
