Qigong Class @ the Library
Donna Bunte of Donna Bunte Whole Health will teach a qigong class at Perrot Library on Monday, June 29th, from 9:15 to 10:15 am in the Program Room, Radcliffe Building.
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.

Perrot P.I.s June Book Discussion: “Daughter of Time,” by Josephine Tey
Perrot’s mystery book group, Perrot P.I.s, will meet on Monday, June 29, at 7 pm, in our Program Room, Radcliffe Building, to discuss Daughter of Time, by Josephine Tey. This is a drop-in program. Registration is not required; all are welcome.
Acclaimed author Josephine Tey recreates one of history’s most famous–and vicious–crimes in her classic bestselling novel, Daughter of Time, a must-read for connoisseurs of fiction.
Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, recuperating from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III that bears no resemblance to the Wicked Uncle of history. Could such a sensitive, noble face actually belong to one of the world’s most heinous villains–a venomous hunchback who may have killed his brother’s children to make his crown secure? Or could Richard have been the victim, turned into a monster by the usurpers of England’s throne? Grant determines to find out once and for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar, what kind of man Richard Plantagenet really was and who killed the Little Princes in the Tower.
Named one of the best mysteries of all time by The New York Times and Time, The Daughter of Time is a masterpiece of historical mystery fiction–a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, and classic detective novels.
