Qigong Class @ the Library
Donna Bunte of Donna Bunte Whole Health will teach a qigong class at Perrot Library on Monday, September 8th, from 9 to 10 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.

GPW Book Discussion: “Lonesome Dove,” by Larry McMurtry
Missed Part 1 of our discussion of Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Lonesome Dove? No problem, you have the whole summer to read Parts 1 and 2! Join us on Monday, September 8, when we’ll discuss Part 2 of this great American novel. We’ll meet at 7 pm in the Program Room, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Memorial Library. Doris Mady of Greenwich Pen Women (GPW) will discuss the book with GPW President Adrienne Reedy.
A love story, an adventure, and an epic of the frontier, Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Lonesome Dove, the third book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy, is the grandest novel ever written about the last defiant wilderness of America.
Journey to the dusty little Texas town of Lonesome Dove and meet an unforgettable assortment of heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Native Americans, and settlers. Richly authentic, beautifully written, always dramatic, Lonesome Dove is a book to make us laugh, weep, dream, and remember.
Registration is required. Please register for Parts 2 and 3. To register, click here.
You may reserve a copy of the book through our catalog or purchase a copy from Athena Books. We also have several extra copies that we’ve ordered from outside the Greenwich system.
