Foundations of Mindfulness with Michael Danzansky (WWS Parent)
Saturdays 9-11am, April 17 - May 22.
I am really excited to share this with the WWS community! My practice and study of mindfulness has been so supportive to me as a parent and as a human during the pandemic especially, helping me to reduce stress and shift moods more easily. We will cover how to create and maintain a practice, tools to manage anxiety and negativity, and practices to cultivate compassion and gratitude. We will also cover the origins and history of mindfulness, as well as the science of how the practice of meditation shapes the brain. Classes will be recorded if you have to miss any. This class is part of my certification process through the Mindfulness Training Institute. $100 - no one turned away for lack of funds. Email danzansky@gmail with questions or sign up.

from Theodora Scarato (WWS Parent)

No notice nor public hearing required.
Learn the science on health and environmental impacts and how unfettered 5G deployment would greatly increase the greenhouse gas emissions. Fiber networks are ten times more energy efficient, have no health risks and are cheaper. This issue i
