The Lodge Open House - Friday, April 27

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FOOD THIS FRIDAY.  PLEASE RSVP to Mary.Laidlaw@rhd.org.  Thanks!

You are invited to the open house / reception of the Lodge on Friday, April 27^th  from 4pm-7pm.  You will be welcomed  by friendly souls, who will give you the grand tour through the Café, the apartments and offer you menu samples of Café the Lodge.

At around 4:30pm, we officially open the event with a welcome, followed by a musical performance of the one and only: ARLENE GOMEZ.  Her velveteen voice and sweet Latino melodies have conquered the hearts of millions.  After some more socializing, networking, eating and drinking, we will show you a short video, followed by a performance of our amazing house musician: BENJAMIN MICHAEL WHITMORE.  Mike will treat you to music from his upcoming CD “Don’t Ever Say Goodbye”- soon to be released!   

Direction from R22: Go south on R378. After crossing the bridge, take an immediate left.  At end of ramp, take left onto 3rd Street until you get to the Southside campus of Northampton Community College / St.Lukes clinic. Turn right onto Fillmore Street and park on the large parking lot (free parking). Walk up Fillmore and take a right on 4th Street, or take the back entrance of The Lodge off the Greenway.  This is a 30-second walk.  Of course, you may be able to find on-street (metered) parking on 4th Street as well. 

On behalf of the entire Lodge staff, I look forward to seeing you on Friday, April 27^th.

The Lodge part of Four Blocks International

April 18th was a memorable day; while not quite within the boundaries, the Lodge is now officially part of "Four Block International."  Or should we say, "Four Block International and un poquito más?" http://www.4blocks.org

Mindfulness Meditation

 

Wednesday mornings from 7:30-8:00am – starting March 7^th

 

Melt away stress, quiet the mind,

and put yourself in a state of mindfulness that will transform your day

When we are mindful, we are simultaneously the experiencer as well as the observer, fully aware of what is going on in the present moment—internally and externally.  Mindfulness invites us to embrace our current reality. The more we are mindful, the more we have control of how we experience the reality that surrounds us. From a state of radical acceptance of the here and now, we take control of our journey. This Professional Development Program is facilitated by Aaik Van Munster, LCSW.

The meetings are open to the public and consist of:

1.     Progressive guided relaxation, which invites the participants into a meditative state

2.     Contemplation and projection

3.     Maintaining a state of alert Mindfulness

4.     Optional - At 8am we have breakfast and reflect on Mindfulness and the text.

Registration:

·         3-session series (March 7, 14, 21): Fee $12*

·         8-session series (April 11^th – May 30^th): Fee: $35* ($20 for members)

(*) After each session you will be treated in Café the Lodge to a cup of tea or brewed coffee.
